Portrait of Terry Toh, Big Tech career coach

Meet Terry

I don't have a background in Tech, but I didn't let that stop me from landing my dream job at Google.

If you've ever felt overlooked — like you have so much to offer, but no one seems to notice — You're not alone.

​

With a science degree & zero relevant experience, I never thought I'd actually get a job at one of the biggest Tech companies in the world.

​

Yet, I remember telling myself that I wasn't going to let my background & education limit my career.

​

Maybe I was young & rebellious, or perhaps I just felt like I didn't have anything to lose anyway.

​

I knew I'd get ignored if my application painted a picture of me in a lab coat holding tubes of bubbling chemicals.

​

So I did something outrageous.

I "lied".

​

Okay, technically, I didn't.

I just reframed my story, unapologetically.

And submitted my application.

​

3 back-to-back interviews & a very long-overdue phone call later, I found out I had been offered the role.

​

All without an Ivy League degree, a PhD in Computer Science, or experience in management consulting or software engineering.

​

That's when I learned a valuable skill that'll serve me well throughout my career.

​

Everything changes when you learn to tell your story differently. You stop being ignored and start being chosen.

​

Most of my clients don't lack the skills that make them amazing assets to the companies they work for.

 

They just haven't learned how to talk about them in a way that sets them apart from the 387 other applicants.
 

Maybe you've been there too — feeling like you're not quite "qualified enough" to go after what you really want.

 

Well, I've been there.

And I still got the job that changed my life forever.

​

If you're looking for a sign to pursue your next dream career in Tech despite the odds, this is it.

​

Because it's never just about what you've done.

It's about how you tell the story of what you've done.

​

If this sounds like what you want for yourself too, let's chat.

Because you're just one question away from a very different life.
