Sign up for newsletters, such as The Daily Crunch, in order to keep an eye on what&#8217;s happening. It&#8217;s better to know what&#8217;s happening in many different areas of the industry than to only know that happenings of one industry. 2) Don&#8217;t underqualify yourself. Breaking into to tech is hard, but it isn&#8217;t impossible! Your skills and experience from your other roles are applicable to a role in tech. Figure out how to position your skills and experience in a way that will be relevant to the role your interviewing for.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>-Anastasia Masters, G2&nbsp;(<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/anastasia_mm0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anastasiamasters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_06cb0376 x_8b9dcb22\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35776\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2020\/01\/light-dotted-line.png\" alt=\"light dotted line\" width=\"500\" height=\"50\"><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Be yourself and own what you do!

A friend recommended me for the job, and I was honestly shocked that they even invited me to interview. I had just taken 2 years off of work to care for my kids, and I had no business affairs experience to speak of. But I went for the interview with nothing to lose, and a Palm phone hidden from view in my bag. I pitched them an idea for what I thought they needed based on the issues they were telling me about. They had just launched the iPhone, content was suddenly a major issue, partners a nightmare, etc.. I listened and riffed on a solution on the spot that addressed their unique circumstances. I figured it would either sound totally stupid or possibly inspired.
