🧑‍💻 Webinar: How to Get Hired Without the Right Background

​Every job description reads like a checklist you don't quite tick. The "required" experience, the specific degree, the years in an industry you've never worked in.

​Most job seekers see that gap and rule themselves out before they've even applied. Meanwhile, people who make the leap into a new field or industry aren't hiding their background, they're reframing it, and targeting the roles where that difference actually works in their favour.

​In this session, we'll break down exactly how to position a non-traditional background as an asset, not a liability, when you're trying to break into tech or change industries.

​You'll walk away with:

​✅ Why "not having the right background" is rarely the real blocker, and what actually is
✅ How to identify which of your existing skills transfer, and how to prove it on paper
✅ The tactics for reframing your CV and LinkedIn around outcomes, not job titles
✅ How to talk about your career switch in interviews without sounding like you're apologising for it
✅ Which roles and companies are genuinely more open to non-traditional candidates, and how to find them

​Whether you're switching industries entirely or trying to break in without the "right" degree or job history, this session will give you a practical way to make your background work for you, not against you.
