A vision and system for starting a new career can make it easier and efficient. If you take time at the beginning to discover what you really want to do in your work life, you can then explore possibilities and move forward.Whether you are tired of your current work and just want something different, or you have a specific career in mind, an organized approach will serve you well. Whether you want an entry-level job or a completely new profession, these steps will help.Know what you do best. Make a list of what you enjoy doing and what you do best. They are usually the same things. Don’t think about jobs yet, think about your talents and interests.List all the things you like to do, including what you think doesn’t earn money.Think about what other people tell you about yourself. If friends say you are good at identifying birds, for instance, put that on the list.Make a list of the talents and skills those activities require — identifying birds requires observation skills and attention to detail, for instance.List your training and experience. Volunteering counts. Unusual classes count. If you know a little bit about a lot of things, list them all.Now think about jobs. What occupations require your talents?Search the Internet. Try terms in such as job skills, career skills, skills assessment, and whatever else comes to mind.Narrow the list to a few possible careers — no more than three or four. Keep changing your list until you feel confident that you’d love a job in those fields and that you would do it well. Then narrow your choices to one career and focus completely on that one.Learn all you can about your chosen new career.Search the Internet.Visit your local library. Reference librarians are terrific at helping you find information.Check with your local government employment office to learn about job possibilities in your new career. Ask about training programs, too.Interview people in your chosen career. Remember, you’re not asking for a job, you are learning about the career itself. What do successful people like about it? What skills are most important? What is it really like?If there is a union, ask the local office for information.Changing your mind? That’s fine, just go back to step 3 or 4 and start over. It will be worth the time in the long run. When you are sure about the career path you want, move on to the next step.Keep your old job if possible.Strange but true: you are more likely to be hired if you are already employed. Think about taking a lower-level job in your new field to learn what you need to advance.Do you need more training?Check out vocational schools and colleges in your area. Learn about specific training and what job placement services they offer. Ask about classes you can take while still employed. Night and weekend programs are often available.no in parked training or classes in your area? Contact the human resources departments in companies that hire in your new career and ask about on-the-job training. It won’t be a job interview, but treat it like one. Put your best foot forward, dress appropriately, take a resume, have questions prepared, talk about your skills and experience.Join a union or professional organization. There are organizations for people in just about any career. One more Internet search can lead you to local or national groups.When you have the skills and training you need, polish your resume and start your job search.Article 27 Steps to Break Into a New Career With No ExperienceIt's never too late to try something new.SO, YOU'RE READY FOR the next step in your career only there's one little teeny tiny problem: You have no experience in your new chosen field. Believe it or not, your ship isn't quite sunk. There are ways to break into a new career even if it's something you've never done before.1. Be willing to start over. First and foremost, you must be willing to go back to basics. That means regardless of your current professional standing, you're comfortable taking at least a few steps back. It also means you'll likely have to accept a pay cut. No matter how experienced and talented you are at what you do today, you'll have to prove yourself all over again in this new field. The good news? It typically goes a lot faster the second (or third or fourth) time around.2. Get some education. Without experience, education is your new best friend. Take classes, get certified, earn a new degree if you have to. This demonstrates your interest and commitment to the new field, and it gives you at least some kind of background on which to build. Of course, theory and practice are often two different things so education certainly isn't a replacement for hands-on experience. But it's a nice way to fill the gap when experience is missing.3. Volunteer. Volunteering is a great way to demonstrate skills and abilities that aren't necessarily seen in your regular work experience. It's also a helpful way to see if you actually enjoy this new kind of work. For example, you're thinking about leaving your corporate desk job to become a veterinarian. Before you enroll in school, consider volunteering at your local animal hospital or shelter. This will give you a taste of the world you're about to jump in to. Plus, you'll get valuable real-world experience to add to your resume.4. Frame your existing experience appropriately. Regardless of your current position, chances are pretty good that you have some transferable skills. You might not do the same kind of work, but your existing experience is still valuable. Let's refer back to the example above. If you're leaving a corporate desk job to become a vet, you might not see the correlation right away. But consider the fact that your corporate position has taught you how to remain poised under pressure. That's a skill you'll definitely use in the future. Perhaps you've also mastered multitasking and prioritization—both helpful skills for almost any role in any industry. This process requires some creativity, but it's not deceptive in the slightest. You absolutely have honed skills that apply to this new role. The challenge is finding and articulating them.5. Use non-traditional ways of finding a job. When a resume doesn't look like the typical resume for the field, it's easily pushed aside. Most people who are hiring have a clear idea of the experience they want for the role. Don't rely on traditional job search techniques like online applications. Instead, use your network—your family members, friends, former colleagues, mentors, etc.— to help you find a position. You will have much better luck getting the interview if you have a cheerleader saying you are the perfect fit for the job. Personal recommendations go further than a resume any day.6. Spruce up your cover letter and LinkedIn summary. When transitioning into a brand new career, it's essential that you include a very strong cover letter with your resume. In it, you'll want to express your desire to change careers and discuss why your existing skills make that a logical progression in your professional growth. Be specific, energetic, and persuasive. Tell your story. Share your passion. Express your desire to learn and explain what you've done so far to help make this transition possible (i.e., education, volunteering, etc.).Include this same information in your LinkedIn summary so people know why your past experience doesn't perfectly match up with your future career goals.Remember that experience isn't the only thing prospective employers are looking for. They also want to find the right person for their organization. Many companies are far more concerned with personality and cultural fit. Plus, with less experience, you don't bring a lot of baggage with you (like unwanted behaviors and techniques learned elsewhere). You're a clean slate (at least in this field). Use that to your advantage.7. Give it time. A successful career transition takes time so don't get impatient. If it's a move you believe in, it's worth it. You can always start slow, right where you are. See if there's a way to hone new skills in your current position that would directly apply to your new career path. Even one small step in the right direction can make a big impact. Stay motivated and focused on the end goal. And most importantly, don't give up.Article 3How To Change Career When You Have No Idea What You're DoingStuck in a job that isn't you? Ready for a career change, but have no idea what else you could do – or where to start? Drawing on his own story, Richard explains how by ditching the conventional career rules, you'll radically increase your chances of finding something you love.It was one of the most difficult periods of my life.On the surface, I had a good job in a well-known company. I'd done what was expected of me post-university. I'd been promoted several times. I had a mortgage, I was travelling with work and had great prospects ahead of me.Inside though, I was deeply unfulfilled. I wasn't enjoying my work, I felt like I wasn't using my full potential, and I longed to wake up feeling like my work was making a difference – to someone or something.Yet, I didn't have a clue what else I could do.Indeed I'd struggled on and off for years to figure out a way to change, but without making progress.Eventually, as you'll read below, I came out the other side. But it wasn't an easy journey.These are the lessons I learnt along the way.What you need to knowIf you're stuck in your career change, there are three main challenges – or paradoxes – that you're going to come up against.1. It's you that wants to make a change, but it's also you that's your biggest obstacleIn the depths of my despair about my job, there were signals from all around me that I wasn't in the right place: I was embarrassed to talk about my work with others at parties; I couldn't imagine doing my boss's job (nor the one her boss had); and I was petrified that I'd reach 60 or 70 and not feel proud of the work I'd done in my life.On a day-to-day basis, I just felt numb – uninspired by the meaningless work I was doing, and seemingly stuck in a Groundhog-Day reality of waking up to the same story every morning.Yet, at the same time, I had no idea what else I wanted to do (or if I did, no sense of whether those ideas were feasible) – and no idea where to start.Looking back, I now realise something I didn't at the time – that I was blinkered in my view of the world of work. All I knew was the industry I was in. I had surface-level visibility of some other careers, but there were so many fields and roles that were completely off my radar screen.I was also scared of taking a cut in salary, scared of what my family and friends would think, and scared of losing the status I'd worked so hard to achieve.These weren't obstacles in the outside world; they were obstacles in me. It was me – my lack of knowledge and my fears – that was most holding me back.Does this also hold true for you?2. You can't figure it out by figuring it outI was a knowledge worker: paid to think, to solve problems, and to interact with others.Why then, couldn't I figure what else I wanted to do?My initial approach was to come home from work, wrap myself in my duvet, and go round and round in circles in my head analysing what else could I do.My colleague Natasha describes her version of this as her 'midnight crazy thought loops' – sitting bolt upright in bed in the middle of the night trying figure out what she could do next.Neither of us came up with answers.I also read every single career change book I could get my hands on, scoured the internet for guidance and did numerous profiling tests.But still no clarity.The simple reality is that if the solution to your career change lay in more analysis – in making more lists, reading more books, taking more psychometric tests, or simply figuring it all out in your head – you'd have found it by now.3. You won't find a job by looking for oneWhen I started to look for something different, recruitment consultants were my natural first port of call.They talked excitedly to me about roles with competitors or other positions in smaller organisations.But it all just left me cold.It was more of the same. I wanted to do something radically different and they couldn't help.You may have spent hours trawling through job sites or job alerts, and just made yourself more miserable by seeing again and again that you don't have the experience or skills that are being asked for. Or you may have had similar experiences to mine with recruitment consultants. Or you may have sent off your CV / résumé for jobs in different fields, thinking you might at least get an initial interview. But nothing.These are all functions of a traditional job market that isn't designed for career changers.Through no fault of your own, you're simply not going to stack up against other people with experience and skills in the different field you're interested in.What you need to doThere are solutions to each paradox, but they're likely not what you think they are (they weren't initially for me).1. Do it with others, not alone"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." – Helen Keller.The biggest challenge I faced in my career change was inertia. I wanted to change, but I didn't want to risk the security of the job I had.I was comfortably uncomfortable.I would have bursts of energy to do something about my career, followed by periods where I'd get swept back into 'life', surfacing weeks or months later and realising nothing had changed.I only really started to make progress when I deliberately put others around me.I started seeking out others in my company who also wanted to escape; I enrolled not one, but two career coaches; and I started to meet and hang out with different types of people (one of whom was to end up leading me to a job I loved – see more below).The net effect was different ideas, different connections, and accountability – all of which, finally, led to forward movement.Think of your career change as an expedition, not a day-trip.If you were climbing to the base camp of Mount Everest, it's possible you could do it by yourself, but it's highly likely you'd want to go with others – peers, a guide, a support team. It makes the journey safer, faster and, heck, a lot more fun.2. Act it out, don't figure it out"Ideas occur when dissimilar universes collide." – Seth Godin.In my career-change journey, it took me four and a half years to get out of a career that wasn't right for me.For most of that time, I was trapped in analysis paralysis.As the coach I worked with at the time said, "Richard, it's like you're standing in a forest and you have a number of tracks in front of you. But you're paralysed because you don't want to make a mistake. And the challenge is: if you don't take any of the paths, you're never going to get out of the forest. If you take one of them, it may not be the right track initially, but you can course-correct."When I started to act rather than analyse, things started to change.The following are some of the things that I did.I enrolled in a part-time journalism course. I loved it, but it quickly became clear that it wasn't for me as a career.I shadowed my friend who worked in PR for half a day. I did the same with a friend who worked as a Japanese yen bond trader in an investment bank. Both fascinating worlds, but neither appealed.Notice what I was doing, though.As Seth Godin talks about, I was stepping into different worlds – sparking ideas and, at the same time, crossing off possibilities, rather than leaving them as open questions in my mind.I was also testing ideas in a way that meant that I didn't need to leave my day job before I'd figured out what I really wanted to do (see more in our lean career change approach on how to do this).Finally, thanks to an introduction made by my future sister-in-law, Sarah, I walked into the offices of a social start-up – and I knew in a matter of minutes I'd found something that was totally me.Had I just seen the organisation's website or a job ad in a newspaper, I might never have discovered the connection I had with them. But it was made real by meeting the team, seeing the environment and getting a feel for the energy of the place.In short, action precedes clarity, not the other way round.3. Look for people, not for jobs"Opportunities do not float like clouds in the sky. They're attached to people. If you're looking for an opportunity, you're really looking for a person." – Ben Casnocha.Job sites, recruitment consultants, CVs / résumés and Google all have their uses in your career change. But they're not the place to start.Focus instead on connecting with people.The power of being in front of people is that you can present the whole you – something a CV or résumé simply can't do.I'm an introvert. So, you won't find me exuberantly working a room at a networking event. But I am comfortable meeting people one-on-one, or having phone calls.So that's what I did – and with a whole set of people whose roles interested me.It took time. There were many 'dead ends', as I explained above, but ultimately it led me to a role in a field I didn't previously even know existed.More than that, this approach meant I avoided the ruthless filtering that happens with conventional job applications.I wasn't 'qualified' to work in the social start-up I fell in love with. But what I did have was a ton of enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. That was never going to come across on my CV or résumé.I didn't get the job there through a formal application. I got it because I built relationships with people in the organisation. I did some pro-bono work, which led to consultancy work, which led to an interview for a full-time job.Oh, and if you're curious to know, I had the worst interview of my life for that role. I so wanted the job that my brain froze, I stumbled my way through the questions, and I left thinking I'd blown it. Catastrophic. Or it might had been, had that been my first interaction with the team. But it wasn't and, because of the strengths of the relationships I'd built, I still got the job.Remember: people first, jobs second.What your next steps should be"To know and not to do is not yet to know." – Buddhist proverb.Making a career change isn't easy – otherwise everyone would be doing it.But it is possible.There are hundreds of stories here in our success stories section and elsewhere that show it is.And remember, this isn't just about your career; it's about your life.It's about how you feel every morning; it's about how that rubs off on your health and your relationships; and, ultimately, it's about the impact that you can make on the world through being alive in what you do.The stakes are high.But they're higher still if you don't do anything about it.So, for goodness sake, don't just read this article. Do something because of it.
