⚠️ Not a job ad… but please read on! Your time is precious when applying for jobs and we want to respect that by being upfront ⚠️
Looking for a job is f*cking hard! And it’s even harder when you come from a less privileged background and are just starting your career. So we created Tangent; to connect aspiring tech sales jobseekers with experienced BDRs and AEs who can support them through flexible, short term mentoring.
Why are you posting a job ad?!
Here’s a shocking stat for you… only 9% of tech employees come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, despite them making up 39% of the total population! That’s worse than law, consulting and banking! We’re on a mission to change this and we need your help! We’re looking for experienced BDRs and AEs to join as mentors. Lots of our mentors join when they are looking for a job and it really helped them to stand out from the crowd when they were interviewing.
Sounds great, but I don’t have time right now!
We created Tangent to be super flexible, so there is no minimum commitment when you sign-up. It’s built around short-term mentoring that you can scale up or down with your available capacity. Whether that’s an asynchronous review of a CV in between your interviews or a 25 minute video call in between your meetings, you’re in control.
I don’t know how to mentor, I don’t have enough experience…
You’d be surprised by how much you’ve learnt just by going through the process of getting hired for your first role. And you’d be surprised by the things you take for granted now, which just aren’t known until a mentor helps you. Don’t worry, you do have enough experience and we’re here to help with any questions. The support you can offer is varied, from reviewing a CV, sharing your career story or providing some much needed moral support.
