Getting Into Tech – The Companion Workbook

Description

Reflect. Explore. Take Action. The deeper work starts here.

Reading about a career change is one thing. Actually doing the thinking that makes it happen is something else entirely.

Getting Into Tech: The Companion Workbook is the space between knowing and doing. It is built for anyone who has read Getting Into Tech (Without Starting Over) and is ready to go deeper, but it also works as a standalone workbook if you are coming to it fresh.

It will not simply repeat the book. Instead, it asks the questions most people avoid, walks you through six structured parts, and gives you space to work out not just where you want to go, but what is actually in the way, what you genuinely bring, and what your next real step looks like.

Inside the workbook, you will find:

• A structured journey across six parts, from understanding your starting point through to building your 30/60/90 day plan
• Over 200 questions and prompts to help you turn your ideas, doubts and ambitions into a practical direction
• Honest exercises on what is driving you, what you already bring and the fears sitting in the way
• The Rae(l) Strengths assessment, a framework built around 20 real-world strengths the tech industry genuinely values
• A six-profile tool to help you understand how you are wired and where in tech you are most likely to thrive
• Practical support for your CV, LinkedIn, networking and what to do when things do not go to plan
• Space to build your financial picture, learning plan, confidence tracker and next-step action plan

There are no right answers here. There are only honest ones. The more honestly you engage with each section, the more useful this workbook will be.

Designed as a premium A5 wire-bound workbook, it is made to be used properly, with high-quality paper that feels good to write on and space to capture your thinking as you go.

Written by Holly Rae CMgr MCMI, who has spent over 20 years building a career in technology, from technical support through to senior leadership, this is the workbook that turns thinking into action.
