Transitioning from one career to another is often a daunting decision that’s not only scary but also disruptive.
Moving from one industry or company to another and taking on a different role requires a mindset shift.
In a People in Transition podcast, executive coach Donna Peters shares the following tips on how to successfully navigate a career transition.
– Always embrace a positive frame of mind. Negative stories don’t get us where we need to be.
– Have a job-hunting strategy, so you know what to say ‘no’ to.
– Recruiters focus on technical, functional, and interpersonal skills. Be ready to discuss and give examples of your strength in each.
– Ensure your presence on LinkedIn helps your personal brand.
