Opportunities to further your career within the Technology industry

The large number of job opportunities and the limited pool of talent create a skill shortage in most technology sectors, which is challenging to address.

Technology experts are no longer employed exclusively by technology-focused organizations. With the increasing importance of technology in our everyday working lives, all industries require experts in this field and often have their own in-house departments. Besides technology companies, the manufacturing, banking and finance, and public sectors also offer multiple job opportunities.

Recent Changes for Technology Jobs

The technology industry has undergone drastic changes over the past few years, which have significantly impacted the employment market. One of the major changes is the growth in the number of specializations within technology. While a few years ago, technical specializations were relatively straightforward, today, the number of specializations has grown considerably. Some of the most popular areas include AI and Machine Learning, game development, technology consulting, IT services, web development, and telecommunications.

Future Prospects

The working conditions for technology professionals are expected to remain as attractive as they currently are. This includes access to great onsite facilities, working with the latest technologies, and, in many cases, flexible working policies. Since constant innovation is a hallmark of the technology industry, it is unlikely that technical jobs will become repetitive or boring over time.

  • Salt’s advice for getting a job in the Technology industry

    Employers’ Requirements

    Employers’ requirements for technology specialists vary greatly depending on the area of specialization. For business-focused roles, employers expect candidates to apply their technical knowledge to commercial processes. For highly specific technical roles, such as software engineering or programming, it is crucial to demonstrate expertise in programming languages, networks, and development skills. Across all roles, employers value key competencies, including organizational skills, flexibility, and teamwork.

    Resume Requirements

    Similar to employer expectations, resume requirements for technology jobs differ significantly between specializations. Core skills that all technology professionals should demonstrate include problem-solving abilities, knowledge of developing and maintaining software applications, and staying updated on the latest technical techniques and principles. Additionally, technology professionals should be able to communicate complex technical details to non-technical clients effectively.

    Technology Job Interview Preparation

    Unlike interviews in marketing, sales, or creative roles, technology interviews are often more straightforward. The main objective is to determine whether the candidate’s technical knowledge matches the job requirements. Depending on the role, interviews may involve different test formats, such as numerical reasoning tests, applying technical knowledge to real-life scenarios, or completing tasks like coding. The best way to prepare for a technical interview is to refresh your knowledge of the fundamentals in your specific field and research the company.

    Educational Requirements

    Most companies require their future employees to have a technology-based experience or degree, such as computer science or information systems, combined with relevant work experience. Some employers also expect employees to hold a postgraduate degree in their specialized sector, such as cybersecurity, mobile development, or web infrastructure.

Top Tip

"Stay agile in tech - embrace a growth mindset and continuous learning to keep up with rapid changes and secure a role where you’ll thrive."

— Troy Lawrence, Practice Director
