Are you considering a career change? The technology sector offers exciting opportunities and many different career paths - which roles could be right for you?  

Businesses are keen to employ technology professionals from different backgrounds and with experience across sectors and professions.

While some roles will require specific experience, there are many opportunities for professionals with non-technology backgrounds to add real value to businesses.

Ten key technology roles:

Technical support

Technical support provides you with the opportunity to work in different types of companies and the chance to explore different industries.

While some roles will require specific experience, there are many opportunities for professionals with non-technology backgrounds to add real value to businesses.

Software tester

As technology is always evolving and developing, software testers are required to test, fix and analyse systems to determine how it could fail. As a software tester you will have the chance to work at different stages of projects and a chance to work up.

Technical sales

The day to day role in technical sales involves providing advice to customers before and after sales.

The job role is moderately diverse as it involves dealing with different customers and their requirements.
