A point of view. If you like people and worry you are "not technical", read the data and relax. Israeli HR listings mention the craft of interviewing about 27 times more than they name any applicant-tracking system. They are hiring judgement about humans, not software operators. And because three quarters of the demand is outside Tel Aviv, this is one of the most accessible professional careers in the country, wherever you live.
