Listen "You don’t have to be technical to work in tech"
Episode Synopsis
Imagine a stereotypical portrayal of someone working in tech – they’re probably working in a dark room, looking at three screens filled with coding. And they’re probably a man! We’re here to smash these stereotypes and show you that you don’t have to be technical for a career in tech. Tech companies are looking for a broad range of skill sets and there are hundreds of non-technical roles to be had in the tech sector, such as marketing, design or product. Joining us today is Sarah Norford-Jones, Co-Founder of YEO Messaging – a private messaging application. Sarah’s background is in advertising and marketing, but she is considered a ‘woman in tech’. Sarah chats to us about how our listeners can get involved in the industry and excel in a career in tech, without having to be trained in code or programming. SheCanCode is a collaborative community of women in tech working together to tackle the tech gender gap. Join our community to find a supportive network, opportunities, guidance and jobs, so you can excel in your tech career.
