Until Break Into Tech Day... Here are our favorite Career Tips 💡

  • Make your REFERAL ASK sound like an OFFER by listening and reflecting back

    • EXAMPLE: "Your experience in product building [describe thing they built] is inspiring; I similarly worked with users in health care and [state your achievement]. You're exactly the kind of person I'd like to work with; I saw an open role at [COMPANY], would be great to get your referral."

  • Own your achievements...we call them "Key Results"

    • Own the results of your work, and use them to advance your career. Here's an example;

    • "Hi, I'm Malinda Coler, founder of RoadmapX. I build programs that help people increase their salary by at least 20% in an average of 10 weeks. I'm excited to learn more about you."

  • Know that most people aren't smarter or better or [insert thing] than you

    • Access to opportunity is about who you know and the strategy of getting ahead in influential industries. Our programs start with a 10-week kickstart, similar to an accelerated MBA. You'll make relationships that support your career for life and learn simple tactics that will keep you moving up the ladder in record time.
