You’re not underqualified. You’re underpositioned.

You’ve worked hard. You’ve led teams, solved problems, organized chaos, and delivered results—but when you apply for tech jobs, all you hear is silence.

Sound familiar?

You’re not alone. Millions of professionals—teachers, veterans, healthcare workers, retail managers—have six-figure potential but keep getting overlooked. And you as yourself, "why does your resume keep getting ignored?"

If you’ve been applying to tech jobs and hearing nothing, the problem isn’t your experience—it’s how it’s being presented.

Let’s clear this up:

  • You don’t need to learn to code.

  • You don’t need a tech degree.

  • You don’t need to start over.

You need a resume strategy that translates your current skills into tech-industry language—and that’s exactly what 90 Days to 100K Technology Resume Guide helps you do.

The Truth About Breaking Into Tech Without Starting Over

Tech isn’t just for coders. The myth that you must be “technical” to work in tech keeps brilliant people boxed into low-paying roles. But the industry needs more than coders.

Today, tech companies are actively hiring people who can:

  • Lead projects

  • Communicate across departments

  • Manage people, time, and outcomes

They’re looking for problem-solvers, team players, and creative thinkers. That sounds like you.


In fact, over 40% of roles in tech are non-coding and built around soft skills, communication, leadership, and problem-solving—the skills you already have.

These are called tech-adjacent roles.
Think:

  • Business Analyst

  • Technical Writer

  • UX Researcher

  • Technical Writer

  • Cyber Policy Analyst

  • Digital Learning Designer

  • Tech Sales or Customer Success

These roles are in demand, and they pay well. These are tech-adjacent roles—jobs that support the tech industry without requiring you to be technical. They rely on transferable skills you already have.


But here’s the secret: it’s not about having the “right” background. It’s about presenting the one you already have in the right way.

Are You Aiming at the Wrong Roles?

Too many career changers are applying to entry-level coding jobs—or bootcamp-style roles that don’t align with who they are.

That’s why the 90 Days to 100K guide introduces a simple but powerful shift:
Find your CrossOver Position—a bridge role that gets your foot in the door using what you already know.

You'll learn how to:

  • Identify roles that align with your current experience

  • Translate your skills to match tech-industry job titles

  • Avoid wasting time applying for jobs that don't suit your strengths

Your resume becomes a tailored tool—not a one-size-fits-all document.

The Resume Mistake That’s Costing You Interviews

If you’re not getting callbacks, it’s likely because your resume isn’t optimized for ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems)—the software that screens 98% of applications.

Here’s what 90 Days to 100K will help you do:

  • Write keyword-rich, industry-aligned bullet points

  • Use AI to craft stronger, faster, better resumes

  • Quantify your achievements in language recruiters love

  • Reframe soft skills into six-figure strengths

You don’t need a “perfect” resume.
You need a positioned, purposeful, and powerful one.

Real People. Real Results.

Sarah, a teacher, used the resume strategy to become a Learning Experience Designer—earning $85K.
Terrence, a veteran, used his logistics background to pivot into a Cybersecurity Policy Analyst role.

What changed?

  • They reframed their experience.

  • They aligned it to the right tech-adjacent roles.

  • They followed a proven resume strategy.

  • They didn’t “start over.”

  • They simply learned how to translate what they already had.

You can do the same.
