I would learn about what the companies do, their requirements, languages, and products for tech recruitment. It will help to have a better understanding of the big picture.

Assuming you're coming in from a non tech background and company, I think that connecting with other tech recruiters and networking is going to be your friend. Tech is just one of those industries that can be a beast to break into, and recruitment positions are super competitive.

I would do some networking events with tech recruiters to see if you can pick up some stuff

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
