Get clear on what you want to change
Be specific about what is not working. Is it the work itself, the sector, the employer, the level of responsibility or the way you are managed? Different answers point to different moves, and not all of them need a complete change of career.
Identify your transferable strengths
List what you do well that is not tied to one industry: managing stakeholders, solving problems, analysing information, leading projects, negotiating, communicating clearly. These travel with you.
Our free Career Values Quiz is a useful place to start when you are not sure where to begin.
Test the direction before you commit
Talk to people already doing the work. Ask what a typical week looks like, what they would change and what surprised them. A handful of conversations will tell you more than weeks of searching online.
Tell the story in one clear thread
Employers worry about risk. Reduce it by showing the thread that connects your past to this move: what you have done, why you are drawn to this next step and what evidence you have that you can do it.
Reposition your CV and LinkedIn
Rewrite your profile around the new direction, lead with the transferable achievements and use the language of the role you want. A strong, honest summary at the top makes the move easy to follow.
