00:00Hi, my name is Sarah, and today I'll tell you about three ways candidates can find tech
00:10jobs in other industries.
00:13One, expand your job search beyond tech companies.
00:17Tech candidates need to think outside the tech company box.
00:22They need to use their creative and analytical minds to consider how their skills and experience
00:28might transfer to other industries.
00:32For example, if you previously worked at Amazon, you might look to other lesser-known e-commerce
00:38companies who are hiring for a variety of tech roles, such as Chewy, Vista, or Thumbtack.
00:46Two, leverage your previous experience.
00:51This is especially true for tech workers who had prior careers.
00:55The rise of tech boot camps and education programs led many people to switch careers
01:01to tech from industries such as teaching, healthcare, journalism, and more.
01:09If you had a prior career before switching to tech, you might consider looking for a
01:14tech job in your previous industry.
01:18For example, if you were a teacher who switched into tech, consider trying to find a tech
01:24job at an education company such as Paper, Amplify, or Study.com.
01:31Three, use job boards that give you more control.
01:36Finding jobs in different industries is difficult if you don't know the names of companies to
01:40look for.
01:41A great resource to discover companies in different industries is the job board on BuiltIn,
01:48which allows you to filter by industry something that many other job boards don't offer.
01:55This will allow you to easily discover companies you didn't know about and find jobs in the
02:00industries you have experience with or are interested in.
02:05Your skills as a tech professional are in demand at companies outside of the tech giants.
02:12If you expand your job search to other industries, you'll discover incredible companies that
02:18are desperate for tech workers like you.
02:22And you may even find these companies have a better work-life balance and offer higher
02:27salaries to retain talent that, for them, is hard to find.
