Career Transition - Seeking Advice
Seeker 
Hi all,
I've recently parted ways with my last employer (March 2020) and have been on the job hunt since. I'm coming off 2.5 years of working in the staffing industry - primarily in Business Development and Recruiting.
I decided to leave after realizing that staffing wasn't what I wanted to do long-term. However, there were elements of my job that I enjoyed, such as building and maintaining relationships, proving strategy to achieve client goals, and in many ways serving as a strategic advisor for all of my accounts. As a result, I've had a strong interest in Customer Success and transitioning into a CS role.
The obstacle I've run into is not having a technical background or SaaS that most companies seek.
What advice or suggestions would you provide as someone who is trying to make a jump into tech from a non-traditional background?
Thank you in advance!
