What is your ‘Business Domain’ Knowledge?

For career changers, your biggest selling point to interviewers is your ‘business domain‘ knowledge, i.e. understanding the processes, nuances, culture and requirements of a particular industry.

Perhaps you’ve worked in retail, finance, transport, education, hospitality, healthcare or the public sector? Just about any business field you have knowledge of will be at your advantage, particularly for tech consultancy jobs like Functional Consultant or Solutions Architect.

Think about what transferrable skills you have and which type of Tech role would suit your background. An accountant may translate well to a Financial Analyst, a teacher may suit a Digital Trainer role, a customer focused role may fit a Consultant etc.

Take some time to look at job ads in the Tech field and map out a career and study path according to the job requirements.
