Like many others, Black people are resilient in solving problems and living lives fraught with obstacles and setbacks. Black tech professionals are no different, and their ability to solve problems in life makes them uniquely qualified to solve some of the toughest business problems.

The research is in that minorities who live in majority communities often have advantages in the workforce of:

· Adaptability & Resilience
· Stronger Problem-Solving & Creativity
· Cross-Cultural Communication & Collaboration
· High Emotional Intelligence & Empathy
· Comfort with Change & Uncertainty
· Conflict Resolution & Mediation Skills
· Awareness of Bias & Inclusion Strategies

In the Truth About Black Tech Overcomers series, we discuss the situation and techniques some Black Technologists have employed to remain upbeat during extended job searches.

Employers, if you want to get added exposure and recognition for the impact you provide, you can participate as a sponsor. https://builtinternational.org/built-truth-about/

Attend to be inspired and learn each week as we highlight the careers and successes of two Black tech job seekers who are overcoming or have overcome, each and every day.

**Also, if you'd like to be featured in the series, let us know @ info@builtintl.org.** Also, if you have succeeded in obtaining a job after an extended transition of 6 months or more, let us know, too.
