How do I demonstrate that I have been recognised for my work outside of my immediate occupation that contributed to the advancement of the sector?
For the above question, can I include external volunteer activities not related to my field (IT) (e.g. Organizing blood donation drives, volunteering, etc.)
You can demonstrate recognition for work outside occupation in so many ways. e.g, speaking engagements, open source project, volunteering, GitHub profile demonstrating active participation in a collaborative project, your stack overflow profile showing significant contribution to discussions around code. however, accoording to the guideline, its important that all your evidence should be in the digital technology sector.
Tech Nation states that letters of reference are not enough, so, in this case, what can be proof of evidence? We are a simple group, so we only have social media posts, medium content, and a YouTube channel with all our events recorded. But, since I only participated behind the curtains organizing the events, and mentoring people informally, would that be enough evidence? I’m so confused about that, so I would like to hear your opinion on that if possible. Thank you so much!
Hi, Francisca! Thanks for the suggestion.
I don’t have the email because we used WhatsApp at the time and I lost my messages but do you believe a reference letter from an ambassador of the group and evidence of activities provided by the group, such as live presentations, workshops, and discussio forums, are enough?
