You don’t have to navigate this new working world all on your own. Here are some tips from women techs on how to succeed in the tech industry:
Stay positive
There will be days when it’s easy to lose faith in the business, particularly when you’re one of the few pioneering women in the field. Take those moments to remind yourself why you got into auto tech and stay focused on your goals. Keep a journal outlining your goals and motivations to revisit frequently. Let writing down your thoughts allow you to work through some of the struggles you face.
Find friends
Yes, there will be troublemakers out there, but many of your coworkers and supervisors want you to succeed. They’re easy to spot, so reach out to them and form your squad. They’ll be there for you in good times and bad.
Don’t forget, it’s supposed to be hard
Auto tech is a challenging business, no matter your age or gender. You don’t get to call the shots in your own shop without first making mistakes, overcoming adversity, and working your way up the ladder.
