How your current work maps in

If you are moving into tech from another field, treat the list above as an honest preview of the work itself — the concrete tasks you would spend your days on, drawn straight from O*NET occupation data. Look for the activities that already resemble what you do now (for example documenting, troubleshooting, coordinating with people, or working through a methodical process); those are the closest footholds. This is a description of the day-to-day work, not a measure of pay or hiring odds.
