Virtual Mentor Session Guidelines
- Turn your camera on when you join so the mentor knows who’s in the room.
- Keep your microphone muted until you’re invited to speak.
- Wait for the mentor to call on you before asking a question.
- Be concise and respectful when it’s your turn, so everyone gets a chance.
- Use the chat to queue questions or share context if requested.
- Be mindful of time and wrap up when prompted.
- No interruptions or side conversations while others are speaking.

Hacker Dojo, 855 Maude Ave, Mountain View, CA, USONLY RSVP IF YOU CAN ATTEND BOTH DAYS
🍕 Pizza and drinks provided both nights!The Silicon Valley job market has permanently changed. Companies are laying off human "Doers" while paying premiums for "AI Orchestrators." If you are applying with a legacy resume, you are starting from a disadvantage.
Join us at Hacker Dojo for a free, high-intensity 2-part workshop where we will expose the Hidden AI Job Market and map your legacy skills to the AI roles that suit your interests and skills and that companies are desperately trying to fill today.
📅 Schedule (Must attend both days):
-
Day 1 (Mar 18, 6:00-7:30 PM): The Workflow Revelation. Discover how understanding and building AI agentic workflows unlocks entirely new, future-proof career options. We’ll live-design an AI agent together, giving you the leverage you need to dictate your next career move and command a premium salary.
-
Kim Day 2 (Mar 19, 5:00-6:30 PM): Your AI Roadmap. We’ll help you figure out the absolute best AI-native role for your specific background and hand you a quick, step-by-step roadmap for getting that job.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:- Laid-Off Tech Workers: Stop competing with 1,000 other applicants for the same legacy PM or Developer role.
- Employed Professionals: Looking for "Career Insurance" to make themselves immune to the next round of departmental cuts.
Max 30 people: Space is strictly limited by the room capacity at Hacker Dojo. RSVP now to secure your seat for both days.
👤 About the Speaker: Thomas Vinkler is an ex-recruiter, career coach, published author, and CEO of two AI startups: Hirello.ai and Promoflix.ai. He specializes in transitioning tech professionals into the agentic economy.
