7 Tips to Make Your Career Switch Easy
5. Network well
Tell people about your career switch, let them know what you bring to the table. Go to online forums and share your ideas/works from portfolio, etc. Try and give back in your own small ways. Never forget to thank and acknowledge help. Always remember networks are for life, so don’t forget those who helped you in the beginning.
6. Don’t get discouraged with let downs
Usually, people think of a career switch after a few years on their present job. The transition can be often challenging and there maybe let downs. Don’t get discouraged. A new path is always harder to tread as it is unknown. But if you know where you want to go, you will reach eventually.
7. Work on your resume
Get rid of your old resume and write a new one. Let it reflect the rationale behind your new choice. When you write the cover letter make sure you justify why you feel you will be great in the new job. Indicate your unique experiences influencing the switch, let your persona shine through those words.
