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!

The irony I get out the government career (military) because I was being denied of an IT opportunity. I guess, in due time this MS in Cybersecurity will pay off
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.

I know a small handful of nurses who were originally in IT, but I know a LOT of nurses who keep thinking about getting into tech. Nursing gave me a lot of opportunities but also a lot of PTSD and physical stress, so go IT.
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!
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! :)
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!
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!
You are such a gem!!! I’m currently waiting to hear back from Merit and I’m excited about getting into this new career field! I also come from the insurance world but in healthcare! All the detailed tips that you gave are amazing!! May God bless you in your new career field and future endeavors!
Thank youuuuuuuu. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Straight to the point. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This video was absolutely amazing. You showed us the step by step process couldn’t have asked for a better video.
This the kind of stuff that should be taught in school. You are amazing, thank you sm!
Thank you for such a thorough and realistic video! This deck gives hope! Thanks again!
I really appreciate your video! I’m currently in education and contemplating going into tech. Very informational! ❤️
Love this! I to am in the personal injury legal field. Have been so for over 15 years. Definitely excited about my transition into tech! ❤
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!

This was an excellent video! You gave such great advice and key tools needed to advance and land a job in ANY industry!
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!
Hey girl, loved this video and how transparent you were. This gave me all the confidence for my interview tomorrow for an Implementation specialist.
This video is amazing, I new to tech and I have no experience. I have been binge watching videos to see where I would start. I’m scared but ready to enroll in a new career.
I loved this video. This video gave me hope & you are also so well spoken. Thank you again !
Thank you so much for these tips ! I currently work in insurance as well and taking the steps to make a career change in technology/ data analysis . This was the information and confirmation I needed 🙏🏽.
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!

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. ❤️🙏🏾

Great information! I'm older than you so I knew a lot of the interviewing tips which have worked well for me in my career but Im also in the insurance industry looking to make the switch. I can definitely relate to staying there because the money can be good and benefits stable. But its honestly a stressful position. Going to check out the rest of your videos!
I’m doing exactly what you did , insurance agent going to cyber security boot camp this video helped tons and I’m going to do it!!
You definitely didn’t disappoint with this video. Thanks for going over everything in depth. Makes me feel more confident to take an interview lol. ❤
