So you have no previous job experiences or qualifications in Tech, and now you want to get a Remote job, but you don't feel qualified to apply?

Yvonne Obi is the poster child for career transitioning, not only has she moved into tech without prior experiences (as you would hear in this episode) but she is also a professional career coach. 

Yvonne enables and uplifts colleagues most in need based on identity with targeted talent interventions, mentoring programs, and our Women in Leadership program - to name a few at Booking.com as Head of Identity. In her previous roles, Yvonne created and spearheaded programs to uplift marginalized communities into the tech sector. Most recently she joined Booking.com from Microverse, a global school for software engineers that invests in untapped talent via peer-to-peer learning. Previously, she led as Director of Programs at Gitgirl, a digital school dedicated to empowering women in developing economies with the tools and training required to launch successful tech careers. 

In this episode, we explored every single step involved in planning a successful career transition - whether you have a tech skill or not. 

We discussed;

- Creating a Job Search Plan

- Self Assessment 

- Market research strategies 

- Setting learning and development goals for yourself
