Tech for Non-Techies

77. Avoid these mistakes if you want to break into tech


Listen Later

Did you know that 54% of all jobs in tech companies are non-technical, according to research by Glassdoor. This means there is plenty of opportunity for non-techies who want to transition into the world's most lucrative and exciting sector.

Avoid these mistakes if you want to transition into a career in tech:

  • Don't sign up to a 6 month coding course, you probably won't need this level of detail. Instead take a shorter course on how software products get made, get the basic tech vocab and understand who does what on a tech team.
  • Don't spend all your time on academic learning. Combine learning with taking action. For example, take a course on tech for non-technical founders and put your knowledge to use as a tech start-up advisor.
  • Don't limit your job search to LinkedIn. Most jobs aren't advertised, which means you need to build your network to find opportunities. This is especially true when you're breaking into a new sector.
  • Don't use your old resume for tech job applications. Rebrand your existing experience to align with your dream job in tech.
