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!

I just want to say, I used some of your tips to apply to a different company and I got the job! Thank you so much!

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.

OMG I started watching Self Made Millenial too and thanks to her I’ve not only moved on to the final stages of my interview process for a company I was rejected for months ago but I was actually considered for two positions in the organization…. She is amazing!

Great video, one of the ways I got a job with no experience was by creating a video, that made me stand out from the crowd, and they felt like they knew me before I even turned up to the interview!

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!

I quit nursing school last September so that I could pursue a career in tech. Currently working on completing Google's IT Support Certificate while I work full time. I'm glad to hear you were able to get a position without any experience :)

This video is absolute gold. Imani's advice is on point with the advice she's giving on reviewing the JD, telling your career story, and most importantly -- practice, practice, practice for those interviews! We help people transition into tech jobs every day, and this video is a fantastic starting point, thanks Imani!

Great video! As a former teacher myself, I can totally relate to these mistakes. It's so important for educators transitioning into new careers to be aware of these pitfalls. Thanks for sharing!

[stephanienelly]

Yay! I’m glad I saw this. I’m getting my security + certification and I’m currently in the law field. I’m hopeful that I’ll get into the tech field once I get my certifications.

[itstiffanyrach]

Congrats! I can relate to not really feeling an industry, but also not knowing what I'd really love to do and be good at. I felt stuck in an industry because I had experience. 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! :)

I am interviewing for an implementation specialist role tomorrow (without any experience) and I just stumbled upon your video. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and yes, the Self-made Millenial channel rocks! I have used it so much since I started looking for jobs. Thanks again for your insights!

[byeteaching]

Thank you for addressing these mistakes head-on. It's refreshing to see someone discussing the challenges teachers face when transitioning careers. Your video provides valuable guidance and encouragement. Keep up the excellent work!

This is excellent advice girl thank you so much! I have worked in Medical Records for the past 5 years but am looking to transition into the tech industry! Thanks for sharing this helps me so much!

I’m also transitioning from an Auto claims adjuster into software development. So glad I came across this video!

[courtney]

I just left my auto claims adjuster position too it was overwhelming and boring at the same time! My friend is in IT & encouraged me to do the same. Thanks for the video!

So I typed in transitioning into tech and this was the first video that popped up. I’ve been in the insurance industry for a while working as a pip adjuster and now I’m a litigation analyst. I have a BA in Com and a Masters in Sociology. I’m not sure why I’ve been scared to transition into tech but I’m so glad I came across this video. Definitely an inspiration. ❤️🙏🏾
