To build credibility in a new industry after a career change, start by leveraging your existing skills and experience that are transferable. Focus on learning the industry’s nuances and stay up-to-date with trends to gain deeper insight. Sharing your learning journey, insights, and unique perspective on platforms like LinkedIn can help you stand out. Engage with industry leaders and communities, and contribute valuable content to demonstrate your expertise and commitment.

Network endlessly. You cannot expect a reply from a job without applying for a 100 of them Similarly, you cannot grow if you don’t know how to network. You have to learn to move with people from your industry. Get to know them. Get to know their struggles and share your struggles too. This can create a good community. Also, the more you work networking and building a community, it will expose you to more opportunities and more people. Who knows? Maybe your next client can be from networking. So keep networking, keep growing

I would recommend this approach of developing new skillsets. 1. People would look at other types of skills than hard skills. Soft Skils: soft skills influence the success and progression of a career. They are the kind of abilities that, so far, artificial intelligence cannot be able to mimic in the environment. 2. Hard skills tends to be very specific depending on the jobs. 3. Industry knowledge is essential in this ever-changing environment. 4. Mindset: Build on the idea of adaptability or resilience, thinking like an entrepreneur. 5. Experience: Gaining it by joining a project, showing your unique skills and build a portfolio of industry-specific work. It can help to build credibility and differentiate yourself effectively.
