No, I\u2019m not going rehash the details about the time when I rode my bike into a mailbox, or when I didn\u2019t realize I was singing along to my iPod at work, or even that time when my pants ripped at school and I had to spend the whole day praying that my backpack was low enough to save me from indecent exposure.<\/p>\n<p>No, this story is even more embarrassing considering where I work. Here it goes\u2014when I started at OWC, I didn\u2019t even know what an <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/SSD\/OWC\/\">SSD<\/a> was. I had used a <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/Apple_Systems\/Used\/Macs_and_Tablets\">Mac<\/a> a handful of times, and the idea that someone could open up their computer and make upgrades seemed like something that should only be done by highly trained professionals in a sterile lab. Feel free to gasp, guffaw, whatever you have to do to let out your disbelief. I obviously used technology in my day-to-day life, but not to an advanced extent. I didn\u2019t study a technology field in college\u2014in fact, I majored in Public Relations with an emphasis on cafeteria-tray sledding, competitive pizza eating, and Frisbee Golf (don\u2019t pretend like you didn\u2019t do <i>at least<\/i> one of those things). I am, by definition, a \u201cnon-techie\u201d.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I honestly never thought I would end up working for a technology company. (But to tell you the truth, I had nothing about my future figured out aside from the fact that I was going to be a fabulous mix between Carrie Bradshaw and Kate Hudson\u2019s character in \u201cHow to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,\u201d essentially doing some writing for a bit and then shopping the streets of New York all day). But because I wasn\u2019t independently wealthy enough to support a dangerous shoe shopping habit, I focused on what I knew I liked to do\u2014writing. I was fortunate enough to find my current position with OWC where I am able to do that.<\/p>\n<p>When I started at OWC, I was full of excitement and a lot of questions. (I\u2019d like to take this opportunity to apologize to my coworkers who had to endure weeks of \u201cwhat does this do?\u201d to things that are probably as second nature to them as making a sandwich). But during the course of the nearly two years I have been with OWC, <strong>I have learned about our products and how valuable they are to our customers<\/strong>. I have had the opportunity to attend CES twice with our team, and have had countless other learning opportunities that have increased my knowledge of the tech field.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Why a career in technology?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The point of coming clean about my \u201cnon-techie\u201d background is this\u2014you don\u2019t have to be a tech person to get involved in the technology industry. And this particular industry is one in which you definitely want to be involved in right now. According to a recent article entitled \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2014\/01\/04\/tech-jobs\/\">Why Non-Tech People Should Apply for Tech Jobs<\/a>\u201d on Mashable.com, positions in the tech industry are plentiful\u2014San Francisco had a 51.8 percent increase in tech jobs between 2007 to 2012 alone. The technology industry is appealing to many different kinds of people because it allows its workforce to develop products that can impact people\u2019s lives and encourages constant learning, creativity, and adaptation that can lead to a very fulfilling career.<\/p>\n<p>But the technology industry doesn\u2019t only need programmers and developers\u2014they need writers, graphic designers, project managers, human resources and marketing professionals, and the list goes on. And by pursuing one of these positions in the tech field, not only do you get to do the job you set out to do, but you also have the opportunity to learn more about the technology that surrounds us every single day. <strong>You can then apply that knowledge to every facet of your life\u2014and that awareness is invaluable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNon-techies\u201d shouldn\u2019t be intimidated to pursue this field. Like many skills, tech skills can easily be learned on the job. If you are hungry to learn and get your foot in the door at a technology company, it can lead to bigger and better things within or even beyond that company as your skills improve. \u00a0And no matter what you pursue, technology skills can significantly amplify your career.<\/p>\n<h2><b>&#8216;Non-Techie&#8217; Roles and Women in Technology<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Another aspect of this \u201cnon-techie\u201d working in the technology industry is that I am also a female, and as we learned from our last \u201cWomen in Tech\u201d blog, women comprise just over 26 percent of U.S. computing-related positions. At OWC, we are proud to say we have women working in every single department\u2014from Product Development to Customer Service, Sales to Marketing, and the list goes on. This allows us to gain insight from many different perspectives and to constantly strive to bring the best products to our customers.<\/p>\n<p>And while we strongly encourage women to stay involved with and pursue STEM fields, <strong>pursuing these \u201cnon-techie\u201d jobs is a way for women who may not have interest in STEM fields to get involved with technology and grow their skills<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>HP, IBM, and Yahoo are all Fortune 500 technology companies that have female CEOs. A prime example is Meg Whitman, the CEO of HP, who comes from a background of executive roles with eBay, Hasbro, FTD, and Stride Rite\u2014many of which are non-technology companies. Whitman took her knowledge from these positions and applied it to her current role as the leader of a globally recognized technology company where she almost certainly grows her tech skills every day.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Give Tech a Try<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>No matter who you are, getting involved in the technology industry doesn\u2019t necessarily mean studying the STEM fields\u2014it can mean studying public relations, marketing, design\u2014and then applying those skills to a position within the tech industry. The technology field is one that continues to grow and offer opportunities for \u201ctechies\u201d and \u201cnon-techies\u201d alike, and pursuing a career in this industry can be both exciting and satisfying.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u2022 \u2022 \u2022<\/p>\n<p><i>The ever-evolving technology industry has been traditionally populated by males. And while women comprise 51 percent of the workforce, they only make up 26 percent of tech professionals. This lack of diversity limits the potential for innovation in this exciting and important field. OWC\u2019s <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/?s=%22women+in+tech%22&amp;x=-1132&amp;y=-187\"><i>Women in Tech<\/i><\/a><i> articles featured on the OWC Blog aim to examine what can be done to attract more women to the industry by highlighting prominent tech professionals, current events, and other relevant stories from within the tech sector. To gain new insight, it is imperative that we tap into the female working population. This progress can be made not only spreading the word and promoting the\u00a0Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (or STEM) fields\u00a0from an early age\u00a0to encourage interest and pursuit, but also by demonstrating that tech companies require alternative skill sets such as marketing, design and writing as well.\u00a0We hope that you will share this series and help us advocate the complete utilization of this important resource.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Embarrassing story time.
