Recommendation

In a time when job security, employment opportunities and career contentment are uncertain, this step-by-step article provides a road map to success for anyone who wants to work in a new field but lacks experience. Along with his personal case study, Cultivated Culture founder Austin Belcak incorporates worksheets, templates and useful – albeit borrowed and repackaged – tips to common problems in shifting to a new work sector. getAbstract recommends Belcak’s cogent advice to anyone interested in changing careers or breaking into a new industry.

Take-Aways

  • Changing careers requires decoding job descriptions and pursuing interviews with industry professionals to learn what companies really want from new employees.
  • Ask professionals already in the field for additional insight on what skills are most important. Make a LinkedIn Premium account, and start reaching out.
  • Read industry books, enroll in courses and sign up for field-related blogs to learn as much as possible about the new sector.

    Great read for me especially since in Nigeria, because of the high rate of unemployment, it's sometimes difficult to build a career path. You have to take up any job u see. This book can serve as a guide. Thanks
