    They have free tech classes at Per Scholas downtown Pittsburgh. My daughter just finished their IT bootcamp in 12 weeks & she's only19. They also provide a $1000 stipend
    WHOLE PROGRAM WAS FREE

    This right here! This hit home for me. I just finished a course career, and I can tell you. Man, you really inspired me tremendously. Right now I have the world on my shoulder, and the Heavenly Father is like Keep going...I finished the course and left it there. So it's not by accident I came to this blog...Thank You Chris

    Congrats to you! I feel you. Finding a job wasn't easy for me either. I didn't take Tech Sales but did the IT course with Course careers. it took 6 mos and I landed a role different than IT but well worth the time, effort, and investment. Best of success to you!

    An SDR is an amazing starter point, especially in the tech industry! All of our SDRs go onto becoming full Account Execs or Account Managers where the earning potential is limitless. Some of them go onto SEs as well. Our VP of sales started off as an SDR many years ago.

      Living in the heart of Silicon Valley, a believer in God, and he lead you to a video of a young minority who believes in God and just broke into tech?

    • @growngameCHRIS
      @growngameCHRIS  Рік тому +8

      Aye man, I appreciate you for being transparent! I feel you man. I've been there, that's why the first few seconds of the video touched on that.
      I would say give CourseCareers a real shot. Go all in on breaking into tech. Understand that its a full time job to get a job in tech. Also that you have to do the job to get the job. I have faith in you, don't let your current feelings/situation dictate your future. I'm living proof that if I can do it, so can anybody else! Just have patience and be open to be uncomfortable (asking questions, doing interviews in your hot bedroom like me, etc)
      Message me on LinkedIn if you have questions I can answer for you, I'm very busy but I will eventually respond. Much love man, keep your head up! Things are going to get easier and brighter (like the song says haha)

The scalability in this industry is also insane and it motivates me to really put the work in for myself and for the time when I dawn a family.

    Congrats on your success man. Rent in Mount Washington definitely ain't no joke and stays going up. I live in Brentwood and work in the South Hills as a Physical Therapist, which is now becoming saturated nationally, but much more so in and around the 412.
    I bought the course and have yet to get started as I have to pick up so many side jobs due to career instability.
    Seeing someone so young make it, especially from my city, definitely gives me renewed hope to tackle the proverbial "rubix cube," and sacrifice, to carve out time and sink my teeth in heavy, to the course and get through everything as quick as possible.
    Your helping me see the light at the end of the tunnel, (whether that be Fort Pitt, the Liberty Tubes, etc lol).
    Keep doing your thing man. Much blessings to ya, and much appreciation with dropping the free game!

    Hella frustrating trying to break in. Took one course and unfortunately no remote jobs. Applied to hundreds of jobs adding a bunch of tailored cover letters. At ine company made it to the last round and the lady seemed hella irritated immediately and didn't get it. Just went through another one and probably not going to get it even though I literally talked about the stuff before I asked the question what does the BDR's that get selected for AE look like. She even referenced stuff specifically that i said. I even offered to prospect free leads if they give me idea buying persona so i can cold call live on next step. Also said i started a BDR document for BDR's that would come after me. I told them and 100% ment it saying I was far surpass their quota. Is what it is though. Going to keep trying. May take course caresrs.

    • @growngameCHRIS
      @growngameCHRIS  8 місяців тому

      Don't give up! From what I can see, you should focus on 15 companies and hyper focus outreach to them. Apply to hundreds of jobs doesn't work in tech. I personally don't believe in cover letters.
      For more tips: check out my featured section on LinkedIn! Free practical guide on job seeking in any industry (especially tech sales)
      If you've never been an SDR/BDR, I believe you should take CourseCareers. You'll sound like a professional who knows the industry, not to mention that investing in your education (CourseCareers) is attractive.

    Hello sir, Definitely thankyou for your feedback, emotion and realness. I am interested in changing my life as well. I have a few questions, I'm more interested in cyber security so I was thinking of taking the technology course but not sure if it would really help me on my path desired for SECURITY. I've never been interested in sales but not to entirely to sure what all tech sales consist of maybe I would be more interested if I knew more about it. I wish you would elaborate maybe on that specific field and maybe what duties it consist of for you or the daily life of a person in tech sales. Is it your typical sales? rigorous long hours, stressful to achieve sales goals? if you dont meet your goal are you still paid? I appreciate any feedback. Proud of ya sir I know how it is to be born from the struggle and nothing like finally finding your career path. You deserve the best king. Thankyou.
