‘Traditional job search methods, such as applying for positions online, don’t work for switchers. You need to be creative in your approach.’

‘The bigger your switch is (industry, functional, or double switch) and the more non-negotiables you have, the more difficult the job search process will be.’

‘There are no guarantees for persistence, sacrifice, and hard work will pay off, but without these qualities, you won’t achieve your job switch.’

‘Deciding to pursue a goal is only the beginning. A successful career change only happens when you take consistent, relevant action.’

‘Ignoring your network, disregarding the market, and failing to prepare for red flags are Switch Killers that will derail your efforts.’

‘Your brain wants to keep you safe, but that instinct can get in the way of the courage you need to successfully make a career switch. Don’t let it!’

‘Loss aversion is a powerful seductress. People feel loss more strongly that gain, so you may be tempted to let things like loss of identity, status, or salary become barriers to your success. Keep top of mind everything you stand to gain by making a switch.’

‘Hirers are also influenced by loss aversion and will tend to go with the ‘safe’ candidate if you don’t assuage their fears about hiring you.’

‘Emotions play a role in every human decision. Recognize this and connect the dots between your experience and how it will solve the hiring manager’s problems so she feels confident bringing you on board.’

‘Bias is a reality in the hiring process, and can be an especially difficult hurdle for switchers. Learn to identify it and engage strategies to overcome it such as using your network to become an insider.’

‘What will you lose if you don’t make this change?’
