10 Smart and Simple Steps to Start Your Career Transition

Transitioning to a new career can be a monumental decision, one that you can't take lightly, and one that also brings many questions, such as: How do I decide to embark on a new career? How do I support myself during this transition? And, Where do I start?

Career transition is often a circuitous road with peaks and valleys located along the way. Follow these 10 steps by Career Change Expert Contributor Randi Bussin to find the right route for you on your road to a successful career transition and rewarding new opportunities.

Launch Your Career Change to Manager with the Right Resume

Want to take on a leadership role but have yet to hold a manager title? Eager to apply for a job when the job description describes you to a T -- except for the management experience part?

When it comes to jumping into a management role, your resume is an important foundational document to position yourself as someone who is primed and ready for management. Career Change Expert Virginia Franco shows 4 parts of your resume you can leverage to demonstrate your readiness for a manager job.

Successful Cover Letters for Career Change

You have the right resume for your career change (above). Now, you can introduce that resume effectively with a cover letter. When powerfully-written, a cover letter may serve as the tipping point that encourages a decision-maker to take a risk and interview someone who is making a career change.

In this article, Career Change Expert Virginia Franco shares the 5 steps you can take in your cover letter to show the hiring manager that you are someone who could do the job well, even though the job represents a career change for you.

LinkedIn for Career Changers

Your resume and job applications must agree with your LinkedIn Profile because most employers and recruiters will compare the two, looking for proof of experience, interest, and qualifications.

So when you are making that career change and applying for jobs that are a bit out of your current career path, your LinkedIn Profile needs to show that you didn't accidentally apply for the wrong job. Career Change Expert Virginia Franco sets out the changes to make to your Profile so it supports your resume and your career change.
