Hey Ala,

Every year it’s the same in this industry: companies slow down hiring in the summer.

Then when everyone comes back from holidays, hiring picks up again in a very specific window.

That window starts in September, and that’s less than 90 days from now.

Now be honest with yourself:

• Are you ready to strike 90 days from now?
• Do you have an irresistible portfolio of projects?
• Are you getting messaged by recruiters every day (like my students)?

If you gave me 90 days to get you ready for the September Hiring Wave, here’s exactly what I’d have you do.

Assuming you already have the Linux and Kubernetes fundamentals down:

Days 1–30 – Foundations + Homelab

• Sharpen Linux, Git, CI/CD fundamentals
• Spin up your Kubernetes homelab on real infrastructure
• Start documenting everything (so it turns into portfolio assets later)

Days 31–60 – Projects + Proof

• Ship 5+ real projects to an online portfolio that hiring managers can click and verify
• Practice real‑world workflows: infra as code, pipelines, monitoring
• Use branding tactics so recruiters actually start messaging you
• Get 2–3 focused certifications that support your story

Days 61–90 – Visibility + Interviews

• Rework your LinkedIn from the ground up so recruiters can find you
• Rebuild your CV around the projects you’ve built
• Run mock interviews until you’re bored of them

Do that, and you walk into the September Hiring Wave with an actual shot at landing a job.

If you don’t, you’ll be like everyone else sending hundreds of applications and wondering why they’re getting rejected.

That’s why I’m running the KubeCraft Summer Sprint – 90 Days to an Offer Letter:

• A focused group of 100+ career switchers working through summer to land a DevOps job in September
• Extra coaching calls directly with me
• Private workshops and job search tactics only for this Summer cohort
• Systems to set refined goals and coaches to keep you accountable

This is your chance to join a highly motivated group of people grinding toward the same job as you.

When I changed my career from nurse to DevOps, I was always grinding alone and I didn’t have anyone to ask when I got stuck.

That can end today: you can have a group of people around you doing the same thing, and an expert senior mentor who is there to answer your questions every single day.

The Summer Sprint kickoff is June 19.
