Thank you so much for writing this. I am in a similar boat—I’ve done 4 BlueDot courses, volunteered at EAG London and will be volunteering at EAG NY and SF. I have technical experience, plus program and event management experience and want to get into an operations role. The advice to “write alot!” or “code alot!” or “just apply!” does no favours to people like me who aren’t great writers or coders.
I’m actually currently working on a proposal + prototype for something that would help to solve this problem. I’m wondering if you would be willing to review it with me when I’m done and give me some feedback?
I’m very keen to review what you’re working on, whenever is helpful. It would be also be useful to get your thoughts on how much operations work can be projectised, and what are the barriers to contractors/freelancers being used by orgs. I’ll message you so we can set up a call.
Emily,
