Goal of this Community: Build Your Quantum Career Roadmap🗺️
Hey everyone, Every Quantum company has a roadmap. Why? Because without one, it’s almost impossible to know where you’re going. The same applies to building a career in Quantum Engineering. It’s not about blindly chasing a job title. It’s about figuring out your path, step by step. That’s what this community is here for: helping you sketch out your own roadmap. Not a cookie-cutter one, but something personal that fits your skills, interests, and goals. Along the way, we’ll dig into questions like: 👉 Why do you actually want to work in Quantum Computing? 👉 Which technical skills do you genuinely enjoy? 👉 How could those skills impact Quantum? 👉 What kinds of roles exist that would use them? 👉 What Quantum knowledge is worth focusing on? 👉 How do you level up until you’re really good at your technical and Quantum skills? 👉 How do you actually get your first experience in Quantum? Just like companies revise their roadmaps all the time, you’ll probably update yours too. And that’s normal. This community is about supporting each other as we figure it out, share wins, and help each other move closer to landing (and thriving in) a Quantum role.

⚛️ Quantum Coffee Chat THIS SATURDAY 10:30am EST
https://www.skool.com/quantum-computing-career-lab-6278/calendar?eid=ccc84ea572be47b2ac41d83d208eb1a2 Join for an open discussion about quantum! Our Quantum Coffee Chats are an open place for you to discuss ANY topic live face-to-face with me and other members of the Quantum Engineering Lab. I'll start with a 5-10 minute briefing on current quantum events, advanced techniques, or topics I'm thinking about for the QEL or YouTube. Ask me anything. Ask your peers anything. Last time was an absolute blast! See you all on Saturday :)

Finding Internships and Research as a CC student, Resume Feedback and Tips
As winter rolls in, I'm starting to apply to internships and research for the summer. I just applied to an internship at Figma (they develop a popular UI design tool), and I've attached the resume I used for that application here. At the moment, I'm trying to just get any internship or research that where I can gain "real" experience in either quantum engineering, computer engineering, software engineering, or game development, so I can understand more of what I want to do. I don't know how to best move forward with applying for internships and research, as well as, just finding the opportunities in the first place. Unfortunately, my community college does haven't many career fairs (like Ari mentioned in the classroom) nor any research labs, so at the moment I'm stuck to applying directly to positions I find online. I'm currently using a combination of LinkedIn, HandShake, and VentureLoop to search for internships, but I don't where to look for research. I also found that IBM is hosting a career webinar this Wednesday so I'll be attending that. I'd like feedback on how to improve my resume, as well as, any tips for finding opportunities and preparing for the interviews once I land one. Thanks so much!
