    Love all of this.... I did the same thing in 2013-2014 I quit my Medical Coding job and went to a bootcamp and when i graduated I looked for positions that were in the healthcare field dealing with IT positions.. my first job was 6 months after graduation June 2014. now its 2022 and I am working as a goverment contractor in DHA as a project manager... DONT GIVE UP GO FOR IT is my advice... Yah Bless!

    One important tip when updating your resume for a career transition is to tailor it to the specific job you're applying for. Research the desired skills and qualifications for the new role and emphasize how your previous teaching experience aligns with them. You've got this!

    My husband is in tech and he loves It. My local community college is offering an IT program with a concentration in Cloud computing. The core classes focus on Linex, Python etc. I was going to study nursing but this seems more appealing. Plus, I've never met anyone in tech who is unhappy.

This video gave me the ammunition to keep trying to improve how I market myself and to not give up over a few failures. Great advice! The STAR method stomps me, but having interchangeable examples really help when nervous. Thank you! :)

    Just found your page thank you so much for this! And the people in the comments as well! I recently completed my Google Data Analytics cert and was starting to get discouraged with all the rejection letters I was getting for supposed entry data analyst roles. But I’m gonna be kind to myself and give myself some time and focus on creating more projects to showcase what I know! Rome wasn’t built in a day. I’m seeing people saying it took them 5/6 months to get a job and it’s only been a little over two months. Here’s to keeping the momentum and not giving up!

    Thank you for this video. I’m currently in franchise growth/development/store support and want to get into Tech, my current role doesn’t pay well for the amount of work you have to do and we work all holidays and handle over 100 stores. No work life balance.
