How to land your first job in tech without an engineering degreeStuti Verma
Although, formal education helps in creating opportunities for first job but it is not necessary to have a degree in computer science, math or other STEM fields to get a job at a tech company. In today’s fast-paced technology industry, most of the information of the world is never more than a few clicks away and where things change so fast, education must in fact be a life-long process and not the learn-once-use-forever one-off process. Therefore, relevance of a degree is easily compensated with relevant skills combined with business use-cases and projects.
In this talk, we will discuss about the roles and opportunities in the tech industry and why skill-driven approach changes mindset of the recruiter. It will include how one can break barriers of academic limitations, tap into opportunities through soft skills and networking, choose to slip into the job they want rather than slip away. Concluding it with useful resources and hacks to network better to land into opportunities life-long.

Subject: Recommendation for Patrick Moley
To Whom It May Concern:
It is a pleasure to write this letter of recommendation on the behalf of Patrick Moley. Patrick worked on my staff
in Los Angeles and Chatsworth in 2015 and 2016. During that time, he provided general IT support, as well as
support for the highest level of executives within our company. Specifically, he became adept at installing PC’s,
laptops, printers and iPhones. He had responsibility to help us organize departmental software contracts.
Patrick has good writing and documentation skills, which were put to use with the creation of departmental
‘Tech Tip’ emails and miscellaneous IT process documentation. In all these areas, I found Patrick to have the
ability to learn new processes and technologies with ease.
Patrick was faithful in his attendance at work and was always on time. He has an easy-going personality and
was well liked by his peers, customers, and managers. While at work, he was very focused on tasks and
diligent to complete assignments.
I recommend Patrick Moley without reservation.
Sincerely,
Don Brown
