Job hunting or considering a career change?

Our Austin Digital Jobs Group on Facebook has over 16,000 members which includes many talented recruiters and hiring managers who often answer private questions that plague people looking for jobs.

The first ADJ AMA (Austin Digital Jobs Ask Me Anything) live event covered resume hacks, so it’s time to approach a topic that people in any city and any industry can benefit from: How exactly can a person gain skills without experience?

To address this challenge, we’re hosting an ADJ AMA right here on this page with industry expert, Shelly Eager (who you may know on Twitter as @JobLadyUSA):
