Was asked the other week to do a video on changing sector or changing career, so I thought I’d give my thoughts on it.
A lot of people reach a point where they know they want a change, but then hit the same problem:
“How do I move when my experience is in something else?”
The reality is, career changing is rarely clean or straightforward. You normally have to bridge gaps, explain transferable skills, manage expectations, and sometimes take a short-term step backwards to move long-term forwards.
This video covers some of the things you should be thinking about before making that move and how to position yourself when speaking to employers.
Changing direction is possible.
But you need a plan behind it.
