Day 1: Are you making these mistakes?

People make three mistakes when shifting a career change that actually dooms their chances of getting hired at new and exciting positions.

So, what mistakes do they make?

1. They have a negative viewpoint of their current job. And let's face it — A negative outlook on your current job will make you look like a negative person.
2. The second mistake they make is in marketing themselves. Even in resumes, they just articulate their expertise in the field they want to leave. But would the employers be interested in that? Or would they want to know how the candidate can help them?

The best part? Just by rephrasing your skills and expertise, you can align your current skills and make them relevant to the new job you are seeking.

1. The third mistake they make is a lack of planning. From understanding why they seek the change and where to apply to updating resumes and preparing for the interview, every little thing requires proper planning.

This is the reason career coaches are here to help you avoid such mistakes.?
