Career change into tech: a 30-day interview plan that respects your current job
· 1 min read
Week one is calibration: pick one target title, one seniority band, and run a baseline interview test so you know which themes feel foreign under pressure.
Week two is translation: rewrite two non-tech wins into outcomes hiring managers recognize (scope, constraints, metrics). Practice telling them on interview practice until they sound natural, not defensive.
Week three is depth: raise difficulty and add technical focus areas that match real job posts you saved. Use tests for fundamentals and practice for story plus follow-ups.
Week four is integration: simulate a full loop day-light behavioral block, then a harder technical-style test block-and note what still wobbles so your next month targets one skill, not ten.
