Day 4 of #30DaysOfTech: I resumed work on my master resume today, and I was able to apply the finishing touches. It has been an amazing journey learning the art of resume writing with @OctoPrepAI. I'm writing 3 tailored resumes next, for 3 job postings @GeminiApp sought for me 😊

Proud to announce our partnership @JadaraFondation! For 20 years they've backed young people in Morocco the system left behind, from rural towns far from any university. A laptop, a monthly stipend, mentoring, 5 to 7 years of support each. Close to 3,500 supported so far. Through this partnership, we are bridging the gap between education and employability! Because Talent shouldn't be held back by a lack of opportunity. Thank you to the @JadaraFondation team for trusting us with your talent. cc: @Marieme55826191 #Jadara #CareerDevelopment #OctoPrep #FutureOfWork #EarlyCareerTalent

🔥 OctoPrep Cohort #6 is now open! 500 fully funded scholarship seats! Enroll 👉 octoprep.ai @_MariemEhab and I are opening Cohort 6 today. Before we do, here is what Cohort 5 has been telling us: ✨ "𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘳." ✨ "𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘫𝘰𝘣𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘸.

Congratulations Cohort 5! 🎉 Eight weeks of choosing themselves, every single week. Five cohorts in, and the thing that gets me hasn't changed: the hardest part of a job search isn't the applications. It's deciding you belong in the room before anyone tells you that you do. And c#5 decided to take a bet on themselves by showing up: ↳ 283 LinkedIn & GitHub profile reports generated ↳ 431 AI resume reviews generated ↳ 881 AI mock interview sessions completed ↳ 90% felt confident defining their career direction after week 1 ↳ 93% felt ready to walk into an interview after week 6 ↳ 97% felt equipped to handle self-doubt and rejection after week 7 In a tough market, showing up every week takes real commitment. These numbers prove they did. So proud of every single one of them! 🐙 Thank you for trusting Mariem and I. Thank you for trusting the process. Thank you for reminding me why we started OctoPrep. Cohort #5, this isn't the end. It's your new beginning! 🫶 #OctoPrep #CareerDevelopment #JobSearch

Seven seconds. It's what recruiters spend on your LinkedIn profile before deciding to keep reading. Recruiters scan fast. They want to know in seconds whether you could fit a role they're filling. #LinkedInTips #EarlyCareer #OctoPrep

@PLPAfrica @plpcommunity Proud of what we are building together @PLPAfrica!

A powerful partnership between PLP & @OctoPrepAI is here. Across @plpcommunity, one question pops up: “I’ve gained the skills, now what?” Following strong applications, we’re bridging the gap from training to employment. Orientation kicks off today! More opportunities coming.

Talent shouldn't stop at training. Proud to announce our partnership with @PowerLearnProject - 15,000+ developers trained across Africa, on a mission to reach 1 million. Getting to 1 million matters. What happens after matters just as much. From 1 million trained to 1 million hired. 🐙🌍 @MumbindunguKE | @_MariemEhab #AfricaTech #CareerDevelopment #OctoPrep #TechTalent

We teach our participants that the right introduction changes everything. 🔥Two cohorts ago, one did. Today, we made it official! Proud to announce our partnership with @HororeBELL and @AfricanWITS , for their women and girls across multi cohorts. Technical skills get you to the door. Career prep gets you through it. Together, we are closing the loop! 🐙🌍 👉 octoprep.ai cc: @Marieme55826191 @A_Mutamba #WomenInTech #AfricaTech #OctoPrep

Should you have a plan B? Answer: there is no plan B because it distracts you from plan A Staying focused on your goals can be tough. Self-doubt, unexpected challenges, and things beyond your control can make you question what you are doing and why. Your mind starts playing the “what if” game: ➡️What if it doesn’t work? ➡️ What if I’m not good enough? ➡️ What if external events have a bad impact on my progress? Here’s the truth: the more you focus on plan B, the less energy you give to plan A.

Self-directed 💪 ↳ 483 LinkedIn & GitHub profile reports generated ↳ 1,452 AI mock interview feedback sessions completed ↳ 89% could clearly define their career story by week 1 ↳ 82% felt ready to interview by week 6 ↳ Average NPS of 76 across 8 modules In a tough market, showing up every week takes real commitment.

Mahmud here the one mentioned above. OctoPrep did not just give resources. It gave structure, accountability, and a serious community that pushes you to execute every week. That environment played a real role in the momentum that led to my seed round. If you are trying to break into tech and your applications keep disappearing into silence, this program is worth your attention. Five hundred fully funded seats is not common. Do not miss it. octoprep.ai/enrollment 🚀
