Finding a tech job in 2023

How Did You Get That Job?

In this special episode of How Did You Get That Job?, presenter Shaun Cheatham meets James Milligan, Global Head of Technology Solutions at Hays. They talk about how the tech industry is open to all backgrounds and career paths, plus look back at key moments in the series so far where guests have shared their experiences.
Last year, research firm McKinsey reported that 44% of professionals within the tech industry had started in a non-tech career before migrating. Rebecca Keenan, Global Head of Process Automation at Expleo and a guest on this series, mentioned how this is key in bringing new ways of thinking and experiences to the conversation to break the pattern on repeated activities.
The second half of the podcast sees Shaun and James discuss James’ recent article in which he lists the top in-demand tech jobs in 2023. They look at what these jobs tell us about the industry over the next year and which trends you should be looking at if you want to join the industry too. They also share what they would look for in resumes and applications, plus other advice for a successful career in technology.
