1. Dedicate time to reading around

As a student and when starting out in your career, it can be hard to find time to read anything
beyond what’s required by your course. But if you want to get ahead professionally, you need to
make the time for it. Stay in one night a week or maybe make it the thing you do on a Sunday
morning before you go for a run. However you do it, scheduling a regular spot to start getting
informed is going to make the process so much easier.

2. Identify your favourite tech-related media outlets

The great thing about all-things-tech is that there is simply so much great information available
online for free. It’s the nature of the beast. From Wired, Business Insider, Financial Times
technology section, to TechCrunch, The Verge, Engadget, there are so many easy ways to get
informed. Don’t feel you have to read every last article. Surf around and see what attracts you
most.

3. Curate your own public profile

Make sure you’ve got the obvious ones - Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram - and then
actively use them to post tech-related media, whether articles, videos or blogposts. Hunt down
and follow people who are writing things you can relate to about tech. Then go beyond the
standard and start making yourself stand out - create a blog and write regular posts on this
about all things tech (and related) that are starting to garner your interest. You’re aiming for
consistency of content and style. Remember this is something you’ll want prospective
employers to look at as evidence of your growing interest.

4. Use tools to increase your own efficiency

Start using Doodle to find dates for your sports team’s training sessions instead of mailing the
whole team and coordinating responses. Stop ordering taxis over the phone and use an app
instead. Do your banking using an app rather than in the branch. Try linking up your social
media accounts (they each have simple descriptions on how to do this online), so you only post
once - not four times. This will give you a better sense of the positive power of technology and
save you time.
5. Analyse what you consume
We live in the age of smartphones. Start thinking about what you use on your phone / online
and why. How does it help you? What improvements were added in the recent update? Why
might these have been introduced? Is there anything you wish your favourite app could do but
doesn’t? What do you think of the design? Is it clean and functional or playful and witty? How
(well) does the design fit with the functionality? Keep a note of your musings in a table and refer
back to it from time to time.

6. Start building your skill set

Learning at least a little bit of coding would be a fabulous thing for everyone, whether they are
interested in working in tech or not. In doing this, you dispel the mystery cloaking this activity
and realise it’s not too dissimilar to learning maths or another language. Unless you’re
desperate to become a coder, starting with HTML and CSS would suit you fine. Java and Ruby
are good too, especially the latter as it’s so easy learn and used by loads of startups. In most
cities and universities, there are plenty of clubs for aspiring developers, programmers, and
designers. Check out Meetup to find one near you. Or try an online course: check out MIT open
courseware, Code Academy or Udemy. Bright Network's Technology Academy course on
Python is a great way to learn a technical skill that will impress employers.

7. Experiment, experiment, experiment

If you set up your own blog, watch online tutorials (YouTube and Wordpress are goldmines of
information) on how to make it look spanglier. Try it out yourself. If someone in the family runs a
small business, offer to build them a website. Again, online tutorials are the place to start. Then,
once you’ve got the website set up, try out doing some online advertising for them using Google
Adwords. Or, if you’re a member of university society, be the one to run the Facebook page,
make the flyers that you post on it, create short videos on your phone to put the word out there
about what you do and edit them using some free online tool (Google really is your friend here).
The more you do, the better a feel you will have for what areas of tech-related work interest and
excite you.
