Be prepared to take a more entry level position, but of course bring you experience to the table.
Think outside the box, for example if you are in sales, but want to work with children. Maybe consider outreach or development for a Children’s hospital or charity.
Be open to learning, and ready for a bit of humbling, possibly some dumb BS from less experienced leadership.
Make a plan, where are you now? Where do you want to be in 30 day, 90, 180 days, or 1, 2, 5 years from now.
How much are you willing/able to sacrifice, I mean financially, personal responsibility etc.
I worked in retail banking and manage a metallurgy department now. My close friend was a restaurant manager and now works in accounting for a tech company. We both dropped out of college. Opportunity will present itself out of nowhere and you just have to take a chance and make the best of it.
Went where the money was. When that didn’t pan out, found a different industry and haven’t looked back. It’s not my cup of tea, but better than where I was and it’s steady.
I’d worked an industry for the better part of 6 years, probably my longest gig, but a lot of the experience I’ve gained there was able to be transferred into an entirely different field.
I had no experience otherwise in this new industry and I certainly had no expectations of getting in, but it was enough to get my foot in the door with an entry level position in an industry I’m pretty passionate about.
I’ll admit, I just sent the resume on a whim, because fuck it, why not? Worst they could say is no. And for some reason they said yes.
