How to Build Your Dream Career in Tech

Getting a job in the tech field is becoming more and more competitive.

People are realizing that there are tons of opportunities for jobs in web development, software development, UX design etc. So, it’s much harder to get a job in that space than it was 5 years ago.

That’s what we talk about on this episode of the Self-Made Web Designer podcast with my good friend Anthony Garone.

Anthony is the director at software development for InfoArmor. At his time there he’s interviewed thousands of potential employees and hired hundreds. So, he brings a wealth of knowledge when it comes to what it takes to stand out when applying for a job in the tech field.

The truth is you can’t just get a degree and call yourself ready. You have to be actively building skills and working to make yourself stand out.

Anthony will show you how.
