Breaking the rules: Get Into Tech Notwithstanding Zero Experience!
If you’ve been on the hunt for an entry-level tech job and you have no prior experience, keep reading. This blog is for you.
Landing that first job can be difficult without anything to back you up, but there are steps you can take to make yourself stand out from the crowd and land that job.
First and foremost, focus on learning and gaining as much as possible about the different areas of technology you’re interested in. There’s no substitute for knowledge, so make sure to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in the industry. Additionally, don’t be afraid to seek out areas of technology you don’t know much about and do some research. Being able to demonstrate knowledge in multiple areas of tech will make you much more appealing to employers.
Next, it’s important to demonstrate that you’re motivated and willing to work hard. A lot of entry-level positions are entry-level because they require someone to be willing to perform basic tasks and assist in more experienced roles. Show that you’re keen to help out and learn more by taking on volunteer and internship opportunities where you can. Having a portfolio of projects and experience to back you up will also make employers take notice.
Finally, take advantage of any and all networking opportunities you can. Having an established network of contacts will make it much easier for you to find relevant job openings and get your foot in the door. Networking is an important part of any job search, and having an enthusiastic, knowledgeable individual vouch for you and your skills can make a huge difference.
