The linear career path is a thing of the past. Many of the most successful women in business started in entirely different industries. A career pivot requires a blend of courage and strategy.
Start by identifying your "transferable skills"—problem-solving, leadership, or technical expertise that applies across fields.
Don’t wait until you feel 100% qualified to apply for a new role; research shows men apply when they meet 60% of the criteria, while women wait until they meet 100%. Close that gap.
Use LinkedIn to connect with people in your target industry and conduct informational interviews. Your diverse background isn't a drawback; it’s a competitive advantage that allows you to see solutions others might miss.
