Ask HN: How do you get a Development job in a non-tech industry/company? 13 years ago
I am a developer working at a printing company. I have made myself valuable by not only what I was hired to do, but also by being able to pick up the slack of the short-handed IT department and cross-training with various other departments. Basically I found my place as a Jack of all trades and a master of a few. Hope this helps in some way.
