Who wants to work in tech (or pivot into tech)?

MEEE!

The Four Seasons Orlando baby agrees (if you know you know).

Today, we’re looking at how (and why) you should pivot into the tech industry. With the ebbs and flows of the market we’ve been seeing, the tech industry has been one to watch.

We are sharing the ultimate guide for pivoting into this fast-moving and ever-evolving business that is tech (if you’re interested).

Recently, we hosted a virtual event to focus on all things working and hiring in tech. We saw many informative conversations with some of the top experts in Canadian tech who shared their insights on how to pivot, stand out, and make an impact in the industry.

Why is this important?

Making the pivot into a new industry is a big move for anyone. Whether it is business, entertainment, tech, or otherwise, there is always a game plan you can utilize to make this move.

What’s the game plan you ask? This is where we introduce Alexis MacDonald, VP of People at Klue. She joined our recent event to share her expert perspective on how to pivot, make an impact, and also, stay in tech.

Here are a few other the top takeaways from the chat:

• How she got into tech

• Advice for those looking to make a move

• How to stand out

• The right questions to ask

• Fun ways to hack ChatGPT to help you with your job interview

“As we’ve scaled from a small to a medium-sized company, Humi still provides everything we would need. It scales perfectly, there was nothing that was missing. It’s so easy to add modules as you grow.”

Today, Lisa raves about the platform and doesn’t hesitate to recommend Humi for small businesses. Learn why in the full customer story.
