Event Recap: Building Confidence and Navigating Career Challenges as an Immigrant in Tech

Here are my top takeaways from her session on overcoming self-doubt and leaning into your strengths:

1. Create a Wall of Fame
2. Gather and display your accomplishments—certificates, job offers, milestones—as a visual reminder of your abilities. This simple practice helps shift your focus from self-doubt to your strengths and successes.
3. Focus on Your Own Path
4. Stop comparing yourself to others, especially those with more resources or advantages. Aizada highlighted the importance of recognizing your unique journey and drawing strength from the challenges you’ve overcome.
5. Lean on Community
6. Don’t go it alone—share your struggles with others. Listening to different perspectives can help you reframe your mindset and see your accomplishments more clearly. Surrounding yourself with supportive mentors and peers makes a significant impact.
