From food delivery to tech professional in three months<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kanun went from a poorly paid job as a food delivery worker in Bangkok to a stable, well paid job in the tech sector in a matter of months. After joining Generation Thailand\u2019s Junior Software Developer<\/a> program, he gained both technical skills and soft skills needed to succeed in tech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding stability amid the pandemic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic made Kanun reconsider his commission-based sales job, pushing him to seek a new career path. Facing financial instability, he briefly worked as a food delivery rider, though the work was tough and unpredictable. His goal was clear: to find a more sustainable job, which led him to Generation Thailand\u2019s Junior Software Developer<\/a> program and a fresh start in tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coding, soft skills, and job support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Generation program provided Kanun with hands-on coding experience and key soft skills, such as teamwork and time management. The program\u2019s support didn\u2019t end with the training. Kanun received help in navigating the job application process and he was connected with some of Generation Thailand\u2019s tech industry partners for an interview. This well-rounded approach enabled Kanun to secure his first tech job as a Back-End Developer, just three months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helping others through technology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After launching his tech career as a Back-End Developer, Kanun decided to switch jobs and work as a Quality Assurance Engineer for a company whose main clients are local hospitals. The role offered him financial stability and a meaningful career, since he was using his data skills to improve patient care. He applied the techniques he learned during the Generation program, such as data querying and collaboration, making a real difference in people\u2019s lives. Kanun\u2019s story shows how a tech career can benefit both the individual and the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is Kanun now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, after moving on from working with hospitals, Kanun continues his journey as a Quality Assurance Engineer, taking his expertise to a digital B2B platform in the food and retail sector. He’s steadily developing his technical skills and thriving in the fast-paced tech industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo those who are changing careers, job hunting, or working but haven\u2019t passed the probation period yet, don\u2019t feel discouraged or down. It\u2019s normal to have bad days every now and then. But remember, a bad day today doesn\u2019t mean it will always be this way. Finding a job can be challenging at times. The key is not to put too much pressure on yourself. Don\u2019t let setbacks shake your self-confidence. One day, you\u2019ll find the right fit for you.
