Explore tech jobs
with practical guides.

Who this is for

Tech Jobs for Grads helps you understand what a job involves and explain the experience you could bring to it. You might be exploring software, systems or business analysis, customer-facing operations, or marketing research at a technology company. You can use these guides whatever you studied.

Start with one job that interests you. Read its requirements, find examples from your own experience and decide what to learn or try next. We publish guidance and worksheets; we do not list vacancies, recruit candidates or rank careers.

How we write the guides

Publisher Ro Parikh is responsible for this publication. Our guides focus on tasks you might do at work and examples you could discuss in an application or interview. We explain how to describe your own part in a team project, choose a work sample you have permission to share, and be clear about what you have yet to learn.

These exercises are original practical guidance. We have not measured their effect on hiring, and we cannot predict salaries, interview invitations or job offers.

Morgan is a fictional recent economics graduate who cleaned a student-club member survey, summarized themes and prepared a one-page recommendation. The example projects and practice job passage are also fictional. They show how to describe work; use your own experience in applications.

Sources and their limits

Sources checked October 14, 2026. The three O*NET occupational profiles linked in Find your tech role describe tasks across occupations. Check an employer’s current posting for available jobs and the qualifications it requires.

Stanford’s career resource hub includes resources about resumes, experience and portfolios. We have no Stanford affiliation. Check the access terms for any resource or service you want to use.

For a real application, check location, work authorization, experience and qualifications with the employer. Publication dates tell you when our guides were written or updated; they cannot tell you whether a job you found elsewhere is still available.

Relationship disclosure

Ro Parikh also has a related Make the Leap relationship. Make the Leap’s public tools and courses address role targeting, resumes, career stories, interview practice and offer planning for technical and nontechnical candidates, including graduates drawing on coursework, projects, internships and volunteering.

The guides and worksheet are free to read and use without an account. The related Make the Leap connection is disclosed here so readers can assess it when using this publication.

Before sharing your work

Keep confidential information private and ask collaborators before sharing their contributions. Describe coursework and professional experience accurately. The Role Evidence Map helps you organize your own notes; you decide what to do with them.
