Level Up Your Tech CV

Sabrina Kynast

Unterrichtssprache: Englisch

Kursbeschreibung:

This hands-on workshop is designed for women in computer science and software engineering who want to turn a “just OK” CV into a focused, convincing tech resume. We’ll look at real examples from the industry and break down what makes a CV stand out for developer, internship, and junior roles.

You’ll learn how to translate projects, coursework, and part-time jobs into strong, impact-driven bullet points; how to highlight the right technical skills without buzzword bingo; and how to address gaps, career changes, or non-linear paths honestly but confidently. We’ll also discuss patterns many women experience, such as only applying when they feel 100% qualified, and how to counter this in your CV and mindset.

Voraussetzungen:

Bitte bringen Sie Ihren eigenen Lebenslauf mit.

Es sind keine Vorkenntnisse erforderlich. Die Teilnehmenden sollten einen Laptop mitbringen, auf dem entweder ein Textverarbeitungsprogramm oder idealerweise LaTeX installiert und einsatzbereit ist.

Biographie: Sabrina Kynast

I earned my B.Sc. in Games Engineering from the TUM. Following this, I pursued my master’s degree in the elite graduate „Software Engineering“ program. My interest in teaching and sharing knowledge led me to work as a teaching assistant during both my bachelor’s and master’s studies. After graduating, I joined the Munich-based fintech scale-up QPLIX, where I now work as an Engineering Manager, splitting my time between writing code and supporting my team’s growth. Since 2024, I have been speaking at international conferences about the challenges and opportunities of being an openly trans woman in a male-dominated sector, including a talk at DevBcn 2025.
