1 Identify Skills

To start, take inventory of your transferable skills. These might include communication, leadership, problem-solving, and time management. Reflect on your experiences, both professional and personal, where these skills have played a key role. For example, if you've led a project team, your leadership and communication skills are assets that can be applied to many other roles. By recognizing the value of these skills, you're already taking the first step toward a successful career change.

Reflecting on your strengths can be one of the most empowering activities you do. In coaching we think of our strengths and skills as 'power sources'. Something that will drive you to succeed. Take 30 minutes, find somewhere quiet, close all your applications, and open up a blank document. Now use these questions to reflect on your strengths and skills: 1. What am I naturally good at? 2. What do I find easy? 3. What are some of my best skills? 4. What makes me good at them? 5. When have I demonstrated these skills in work? 6. What results have I gained? 7. Where else have I shown these skills? 8. Who has supported me in developing these skills?

2 Research Roles

Once you've identified your transferable skills, research roles that require them. Look for job descriptions that match your skill set and note how your abilities align with the responsibilities of the position. This will help you understand where you fit in the job market and what kind of roles would benefit from your expertise. It's important to be open-minded during this phase, as your skills may fit into roles you haven't previously considered.
