The 4 Step Bold Pivot Formula (plus my career change story from Beauty Therapist to Technology Recruiter)

Feeling stuck in your career? Worried that your skills won't transfer to a new industry? Think it's too late to make a major career change? This episode will completely shift your perspective on what's possible. For the first time ever, I'm sharing my personal career pivot story - how I went from running spa treatments to becoming a top-performing technology recruiter with zero tech background. If you think beauty therapy and tech recruitment have nothing in common, you're about to discover why that thinking is holding you back from your next bold move. I'll walk you through my exact 4-step Bold Pivot Formula that took me from feeling completely out of my depth in a group interview to becoming the top consultant at my agency. This isn't just theory - it's the proven framework I used to completely reinvent my career, and it's the same formula that's worked for thousands of career changers. Whether you're facing industry disruption, feeling unfulfilled in your current role, or just ready for something completely different, this episode gives you the roadmap to make it happen. _______________ 📚 The Bold Move Book - Available for Presale: Presale here: https://www.theboldmovebook.com _______________ 🎙️ Connect with Georgie: 🔹LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/ 🔺 Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard 🔸 Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com 🤖 Early access to Pivotr: https://www.pivotr.com _______________ What You'll Learn in the Episode: The Bold Pivot Formula: My 4-step framework for successfully changing careers (Begin where you are, Opportunities open to you, Learn what you need, Do the work) How to identify your transferable skills and package them for a completely different industry Why your "irrelevant" experience might be exactly what makes you stand out in your target field The mindset shift that turns imposter syndrome into your competitive advantage How to research new industries and have conversations that open doors to opportunities Why being "prepared to suck" is essential for career growth and confidence building The exact steps I took to transition from beauty therapy to tech recruitment with no prior experience How to tailor your CV and interview approach when you don't tick all the boxes Why the playing field has never been more level for career changers in the age of AI How courage builds competence, which builds confidence (not the other way around) _______________ ⏱️ Episode Timeline: 07:00 - Why presales matter for The Bold Move book (and what's included in the incredible presale offer) 12:00 - Introduction to the Bold Pivot Formula and why career reinvention is inevitable 15:00 - My backstory: From beauty school to working spas across the globe 17:00 - Step 1: Begin Where You Are - How to identify your hard and human skills 19:00 - Step 2: Opportunities Open to You - Using job sites and networking to explore possibilities 21:00 - How I tailored my CV to match recruitment job requirements using transferable skills 23:00 - The bold move that got me the interview (and why calling directly works) 26:00 - Step 3: Learn What You Need - Preparing for the knowledge gaps 28:00 - Step 4: Do the Work - Why being prepared to suck is essential for growth 30:00 - How I went from fumbling calls to becoming the top performer in 18 months 32:00 - Why this is the perfect time for career pivots in the age of AI _______________ Key Career Pivot Insights: 🌀 On Transferable Skills: "I literally just treated it like any other client call that I'd had in beauty... my transferable skills, the skills that I had acquired from beauty, from that industry, translated beautifully into technology recruitment." ⏰ On Timing and Opportunity: "This is the unfair advantage now, right?
