✨ Interviews can feel like a paradox.
One school of thought says: mirror your interviewer — copy their tone, their body language, their energy.
The other says: just be yourself.

But here’s the thing many candidates — especially neurodivergent jobseekers — experience:
That “mirroring” playbook wasn’t written for their brains.

For some, focusing on reading tone and body language can feel like a second full-time job layered on top of the interview itself.
For others, authenticity — leaning into who they are and how they communicate — is what unlocks the best connection.

💡 So maybe the real question is:
What actually works for you?

Is it trying to reflect the interviewer’s style to build comfort?
Or is it showing up as your unfiltered self, trusting that the right role will value your authenticity?

At Mentra, the mission is to rewrite the interview playbook so candidates aren’t forced into sameness.
Because the next wave of cracked talent ⚡ won’t come from mirroring — it’ll come from those who bring their full selves, in their own way.

What has worked best for you in interviews?

Most people talk about Agentic AI in the context of cybersecurity, risk, and enterprise systems.

But let’s flip the lens: what does Agentic AI mean for candidates – especially late-diagnosed autistic adults, ADHDers, dyslexic thinkers, and other neurodivergent jobseekers who’ve spent their lives navigating systems not designed for them?

Here’s the thing: 🧠
Agentic AI thrives when given autonomy + complex systems to navigate.

Neurodivergent talent — who’ve spent a lifetime decoding unwritten rules and building creative workarounds — already think this way.

👉 The overlap? A future where candidates don’t just use AI… they partner with it.

Imagine…
✨ A job search where you don’t waste hours in black-hole applications.
✨ AI that adapts to your strengths instead of forcing you to mask.
✨ A system that rewards authentic alignment — not just polished scripts.

Because while corporations are asking: “Is Agentic AI safe?”

We’re asking: “How can Agentic AI unlock belonging?”

For candidates, it isn’t just about security. It’s about possibility.

About tools that help you navigate bias-filled systems, break down barriers, and finally get seen for the unicorn 🦄 you already are.

The next frontier of work isn’t just human or machine.
It’s human + machine, reimagined by those who think differently.

Job searching can feel heavy — especially when burnout starts to creep in. But you don’t have to push through it alone.

Join our next Mentra Session on Body Doubling & Burnout — a space designed to help you reset, refocus, and find your flow again.

What you’ll get from the session:

🌊 Gentle structure inspired by our Manatee:
• Surface: 20 minutes journaling or logging progress
• Swim: Take one concrete action (apply, connect, learn, refine resume)
• Graze: Consume 1 piece of inspiring career content
• Gather: Check in with a friend, mentor, or LinkedIn group
• Rest: End with something soothing (because even manatees nap a lot)

Get real-time accountability through body doubling and learn practical strategies for managing burnout in the job hunt!

If you’re ready for support that balances productivity with care, this session is for you.

Mentra is hosting our very first AI workshop for neurodivergent professionals!

Artificial Intelligence can feel like it was built for people who never lose focus, never forget a deadline, and never need a break, leaving many of us to think AI is more likely to take our job than help us get one.

That’s why this workshop isn’t being led by just another AI evangelist. It’s led by someone who knows what it’s like to build systems while feeling like your own is out of sync.

Michael Muyot is a late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD professional who spent years masking, all while building and studying AI. It wasn’t until his diagnosis that things clicked: he wasn’t broken. He was just trying to operate in systems that weren’t made for how his brain works.

Now, Michael uses AI to create what he calls the Divergent Advantage— a set of tools and workflows designed to turn executive dysfunction into momentum. We’re so excited to partner together for a workshop that is...

- Built with neurodivergent brains in mind
- Packed with actionable demos (not just theory)
- Designed to reduce overwhelm, not add to it

If you’ve felt unsure about AI, or afraid it’ll replace you, this is your onramp to something different.

The most untapped competitive advantage in business today? Cognitive diversity.

In honor of Neurodiversity Awareness month, for the next 30 days, we’re spotlighting one cognitive strength per day—strengths that companies overlook, undervalue, or underutilize. These are the traits that drive innovation, efficiency, and growth.

Many of these strengths belong to neurodivergent professionals—individuals with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and more—who remain underemployed despite their immense value.

💡 Why does this matter? Because businesses that understand and leverage neurodivergent strengths gain a massive edge.

Follow along. You might just rethink how you build your team.

🚀 AI is creating some of the highest-paying jobs in tech—but how do you get hired?

AI isn’t just for PhDs or researchers anymore. Companies are hiring software engineers, ML specialists, and even product managers to integrate AI into real-world applications. If you’re looking to break into AI, start by learning Python, exploring machine learning frameworks, and building real-world projects.

Here are some things to focus on if you’re interested in any of the following roles:

💻 AI Software Engineer:
If you’re already a software developer, start by learning AI frameworks and working on AI-powered projects (e.g., integrating OpenAI’s GPT API into an app).

🤖 Machine Learning Engineer:
Build an AI portfolio with real-world projects (e.g., image classifiers, NLP chatbots). Consider earning an AI certification like Google’s ML Engineer certification.

🚀 MLOps Engineer:
If you have DevOps or cloud computing experience, start learning MLOps tools and work on deploying AI models in real-world cloud environments.

📊 AI Product Manager:
If you’re in product management or business strategy, start learning AI fundamentals and build experience working with AI-powered products.

🔐AI Cybersecurity Engineer:
If you have a background in cybersecurity, start learning AI-driven security frameworks and adversarial machine learning to specialize in AI security roles.

A supportive manager can flip your internal battery from 🪫 to 🔋 at work— with just a few intentional steps.

Sometimes, it’s not the job—it’s the environment. When managers create safe, supportive workplaces, everyone wins.

Here are six ways to make that happen.

It’s about acknowledging we’re people—with changing energy levels, emotional ebb and flow, and days where we just need that extra grace.

A manager who gives you space to do your best work—can transform a routine job into a place where you actually want to show up; it’s human-centered leadership.

🧠 They regulate their own emotions, so when you have an off day, it doesn’t derail the whole team.

🧠 They understand that productivity doesn’t come from micromanagement, but from trust and clarity.

🧠 They see “heads-down time” not as a luxury, but as a pathway to better work.

It’s about creating a culture where being a human isn’t a drawback.

Ever had a manager who just got it? Let us know in the comments. And if you haven’t, what’s one shift you wish workplaces would make?

The day has finally arrived—Vikram published his first book! 📖

In just 2 days, Cacophony of Silence is #2 in Hot New Releases in the United States in Asian Poetry. 😊

This was no easy feat. Imagine if typing a single sentence took a whole hour...

For Vikram, this is an everyday reality. Living with and apraxia, his body often rebels, making typing an unpredictable challenge. Yet, that doesn’t stop him.

Vikram writes entire poems in his mind first—deep, powerful, and profound. And when the moment of flow arrives, he types, one letter at a time.

Now, at 32 years old, after years of dedication, he holds in his hands his first book. This isn’t just a collection of poetry—it’s a portal into Vikram’s silent world, offering a unique lens on life, the universe, and the boundless potential within us all.

This moment resonates deeply with our mission at Mentra: to empower those often silenced by society to find and tap into their fullest potential. 🧠 💥

By embarking on a career as a poet and author, Vikram can now do just that.

And let his work speak for itself.
