Career Head Start
Need help in landing at your dream job? Or just looking to follow a passion in a new role within the IT field, but don’t quite have the experience yet to get a job in that realm? Head Start here:
Seattle area non-profits that might need your help: www.seattlefoundation.org/npos/Pages/default.aspx
Note: It is illegal for for-profit companies to use unpaid volunteers. Even in an ‘internship’ scenario there must be class-credit or minimum wage offered.
Participate in your local user-groups and industry associations: Beyond just a great way to network & meet new people in your industry, local user & industry groups like PMI, TCOSC, AWC-PS, DigitalEves, AITP, or GirlsInTech might be able to provide work experience for your résumé as well. These user-groups can often benefit from a web developer to update/maintain their sites and CRM systems. Project Management skills may also come in handy.
Go Back To School: Many public universities, community colleges, and trade schools offer programs to train analysts and technologists, with flexible schedules for evening and weekend classes, as well as on-line learning. Both the University of Washington and UCLA offer an excellent example of this kind of certificate program. You get the training, and proof of a level of knowledge in a discipline, that can help build your résumé and your references.
