If the Covid-19 pandemic taught us anything at all, it’s that nothing is permanent. Life changes and we change, and sometimes that change is for the better. Find Your Dream Job guest Toye Jones says changing careers can also be for the better, if you do it right. Toye says you have to start with your why. Be able to explain the reason you’re making the switch, and the experience you have, whether paid or voluntary, to show your passion for the field. Toye also suggests reaching out to hiring managers even if their company doesn’t show open positions and asking for an informational interview. 

Toye Jones is the human resources and equity director at CASA for Children.
