How Do I Change Careers?
Changing careers does not necessarily mean throwing away everything you have built.
A career change can involve transferring existing capabilities into a new context. It is often not a reset, but a recombination.
Start with transferable assets
List your skills, knowledge, achievements, relationships, and natural gifts. Ask which of these remain valuable outside your current career.
Identify the gap
Compare your current capability with your desired role. You may only need one technical skill, a certification, or a portfolio, rather than starting completely over.
Test before you jump
Reduce uncertainty by volunteering, freelancing, or shadowing professionals before making a complete transition.
