Getting Into Tech: The Companion Workbook

Reflect. Explore. Take Action. The Deeper Work Starts Here.

Reading about a career change is one thing. Actually doing the thinking that makes it happen is something else entirely.

This workbook is the space between knowing and doing. It is built for anyone who has read Getting Into Tech (Without Starting Over) and is ready to go deeper — and it works just as well if you are coming to it on its own.

It will not repeat the book. What it will do is ask you the questions that most people avoid, walk you through six structured parts, and give you space to work out not just where you want to go, but what is actually in the way, what you genuinely bring, and what your next real step looks like.

Inside the workbook you will find:

A structured journey across six parts — from understanding your starting point through to building your 30/60/90 day plan
Honest exercises on what is driving you, what you already bring, and the fears that are sitting in the way
The Rae(l) Strengths assessment — a framework built around 20 real-world strengths the tech industry genuinely values, so you can see clearly what you bring to it
A six-profile tool to help you understand how you are wired and where in tech you are most likely to thrive
Practical support for your CV, LinkedIn, networking, and what to do when things do not go to plan
Space to build a financial picture, a learning plan, and a confidence tracker you can actually use

There are no right answers here. There are only honest ones. The more honestly you engage with each section, the more useful this will be.

Written by Holly Rae CMgr MCMI — someone with over 20 years in technology, from technical support through to senior leadership — this is the workbook that turns thinking into action.
