From Power Suits to New Pursuits: Unleashing Your Transferable Skills to Land that Dream Job EP95

Podsters – we are bringing the heat today because I'm fired up about a common misconception I keep hearing. It's the whole "I can't change careers because I'll have to take a pay cut" misunderstanding. You know how this goes: you've worked really hard, you make made good money, and you're not about to have to “start over” after all of this hard work and sacrifice. Well, I'm here to tell you – YOU DO NOT HAVE TO START OVER. I'm baffled by the number of people who think changing careers means an automatic pay cut. Or an automatic demotion.  Or an automatic “start all over”.  Where does this even come from? You don't have to start over. Your skills are transferable. And in fact, this new perspective if you’re coming from another field may even be a competitive advantage.  \ So, let's debunk the myth that changing careers means losing money. This is simply not true. Take your strengths, your top three, and understand that these strengths – your greatest contribution to your CURRENT role is precisely your ticket to that new gig. WITHOUT LOSING A DIME. Here’s an example:  Let’s say your jam is “building relationships”.  You’re the best.  A pro.  People LOVE opening up to you and it’s helped you tremendously in your career. Awesome.  That skill is pure gold in any industry. Whether it's sales, human resources, or project management, it's about human connection, and every company, boss and hiring manager wants more human connection. And if you’re worried about losing benefits when taking that side hustle full-time, let's clear this up as well.  A decent healthcare plan can be procured for around $1k per month and in some cases, even less.  So do the math, factor in an additional 12k you will need in your business plan and suddenly, it's not as daunting as you think. So, Podsters, as we head into job-seeking season, remember this, YOUR SKILLS are your CURRENCY, and you don't have to settle for less. Don't let assumptions and fears keep you in a place you know you don’t belong. Let’s DO THIS! ⁠Apply to Work with Nancy 1:1 by Clicking HERE JOIN MY CONFIDENCE COMMUNITY bu CLICKING HERE
