I'm trying to get into a SaaS or tech company for MOps/RevOps/SOps, but I think I'm having trouble getting interviews because I'm coming from a 7-year career in the public sector (fundraising).

The work I do is very similar and I feel my resume reflects that, the main difference is my tech stack. I've started certifications for tools like Hubspot, Marketo, and Salesforce - and am wrapping up an MBA - wondering if anyone has any other advice on how to score an interview? TIA!

Ops Cast has two recent episodes on Ops recruiting that might be worth a listen. Without actual experience in the systems, you’ll have a hard time getting certified or hired at anything other than entry-level.

If applicable, your resume should reflect what technologies you have worked in and that you are systems/process oriented and a quick study.

I’ve definitely hired people with zero MAP experience, but I was confident they could pick it up quickly. And a curious mind goes a long way. If I feel like someone with less experience has the drive and curiosity to “figure it out” I’m more likely to take a chance on them.

Many thanks.
