Ce n'est pas seulement à l'extérieur qu'il faut rechercher des opportunités. Il faut se conna?tre pour les attirer à soi. C'est au moins en reparcourant son parcours que l'on peut aborder son changement de carrière.

Any experience can demonstrate initiative and create more opportunities. Here are quick tips to gain experience in a new field: 1) Analyze the market - this could be as simple as writing a SWOT [strength, weakness, opportunity, threat] of a company in the industry. 2) Ask companies for 'easy-access' experiences such as job shadowing or weekend work experience. 3) Produce content relevant to the market. One of the best ways to standout is to follow the trends in the market, study opinion leaders, and then produce your own original content. 4) Self-educate through the internet. There is a wealth of high quality and often free courses. Try Ivy League university free courses, Standford E-corner, and of course LinkedIn Learning.

4 Update Branding

Your personal brand should reflect your new career direction. Update your LinkedIn profile, resume, and other professional materials to align with your target industry. Highlight relevant skills, experiences, and achievements that showcase your suitability for the new field. Crafting a compelling narrative around your career transition can help potential employers understand your journey and see the value you bring. Remember, consistency across all platforms reinforces your brand and professional story.

5 Leverage Networks

Networking is a powerful tool in any career change. Connect with industry professionals, attend networking events , and join relevant online forums or groups. These connections can provide valuable advice, introduce you to job opportunities, and offer support during your transition. Don't underestimate the power of your existing network either; colleagues from past roles may have unexpected connections or insights into your new industry.

From my experience, networking to gain the new industry information was the first step to do, otherwise, assessing skills, researching deeply, experiencing, etc. could not fully complete. Also, my original network was not enough not only to understand the industry, company, job, career, etc. but also to gain required support, therefore, I listed up ideal network and who I should communicate with. These networks would become my precious source of collaboration and empowerment in the new industry to generate a good performance.

6 Stay Adaptable

Adaptability is crucial when entering a new industry. Be open to starting in a different role or at a lower level than you might have hoped, as it can be a strategic move to gain essential experience. Embrace continuous learning and be prepared to upskill if necessary. Your willingness to adapt and grow will not only aid in a smoother transition but also signal to employers that you're committed and resilient.

I love this advice I received from a trusted mentor: Instead of always chasing and controlling, we can trust and attract! Opportunities often arise when we least expect them, so surrender to the process and focus on attracting rather than chasing. This involves directing your energy positively (stay positive, benevolent, and focused on growth) and trusting life!
