In today’s episode of the Career Change Maker podcast, I talk about how your experience can be leveraged to make a career change without retraining.
The reason I am talking about this is that I was having a conversation with somebody who is in a place where she's thinking about making a move. She has been working in the same space for the last 10 years. So, she was enquiring whether the kind of moves she wants to make is going to be possible because she's been in the same position for the last 10 years.
Episode Highlights
· 02:40 - People think that this experience is only relevant to where I am right now, and if I was going to do something else, I need to build up a whole another bag of experience.
· 06:52 - The same way that you can bring value by bringing in your perspective and your lawyer brain in a commercial discussion, or in a negotiation, the same way that you can take what you have and use that in a different setting.
· 07:20 - Just because you're coming from a slightly different practice area doesn’t mean that there isn't any value that you can bring to an organisation.
· 09:25 - When we're thinking about leveraging our experience and we're thinking about making moves, please don't assume that you're going to have to start again.
· 11:25 - If you're trying to make a pivot, you can be very proactive to position yourself as someone that is interested in that area that is developing that skillset and knowledge in that area.
