"What’s Next? How to Pivot with Purpose in the Federal Space
A Talk by Tommy Weinert (President, Mount Indie)
About this Talk
After a decade-long career, I found myself in the middle of planning a wedding, remodeling a house, and facing layoffs in my family—all at once. I had to pivot fast. Now, with 15+ years in the industry and direct experience hiring over 1,000 people in the federal contracting space, I’ll share what it really takes to make a successful career transition. This session will cut through the noise and bad advice online, give you a real-world look at how government contractors actually hire, what recruiters are looking for, and how to build a resume that gets noticed. This is a no-fluff, experience-based conversation designed to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
