Navigating Career Changes: How To Change Industries and Functions

In this episode, Felicia shares her personal journey of wanting to transition her career and offers valuable tips, tricks, and tactics for navigating career changes. Whether you’re looking to switch industries or shift job functions, Felicia provides practical advice on identifying your transferable skills, setting goals, building relationships, and embracing change. You will be inspired to pursue your passions and find fulfillment in your professional life. Tune in for a dose of motivation and actionable steps to thrive in your career.

Key Takeaways in this Episode:
  1. Recognize the signs that it’s time for a career change, such as feeling unfulfilled, lacking passion or motivation, or longing for a different work culture. Take an honest assessment of your transferable skills and highlight your superpowers to identify where you fit and where you’re wanted.
  2. When changing industries, research the key players and industry trends, and build relationships within the industry. Attend industry events, join online forums, and connect with professionals on LinkedIn. Create a value proposition that showcases your transferable skills and how you can add value to the new industry.
  3. When shifting job functions, identify and build necessary skills through certifications, courses, or shadowing opportunities. Clearly articulate your desire to switch functions and be honest about the challenges you may face. Embrace change, adopt effective communication strategies, and learn the lingo of your new industry or function to ensure a successful transition.
