Don’t think it’s possible to switch careers without starting all over again?

🤔 We often think we need to start from the bottom again

👩‍🎓 Or think we need to go back to school

But that’s because we don’t know how to sell ourselves

And package our existing experiences into the new role

Going to school is just a lazy way of paying to borrow credibility

And paying for your resume to show you have relevant experience

❓ Don’t know how else you can borrow credibility?

Here are 𝟰 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀 for you to switch careers without having to start all over again -

(1) Identify your transferable skills (and don’t discount those soft skills!)

- Think about the skills you've acquired throughout your career so far
- And bring them back to the building blocks

(2) Learn how to sell yourself

- Instead of talking about your skills in the terms of your existing industry
- Change the narrative and showcase the underlying skill set and how it can be applied to the new role

(3) Build a portfolio

- The best way to show you’ve got what it takes for the job?
- Show them you can do the job via your portfolio

(4) Find mentors

- The most powerful way to pivot in your career is to
- Borrow the credibility of people who are ALREADY in the industry
- Who can vouch for you and speak on your behalf

Remember change does NOT mean starting all over.

There is a way to 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗨𝗘, there is a way to 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗪.
