How to change careers and make it work, Audit your skills

Audit your skills

Make an exhaustive list of all that you are good at, look at new ways to use these skills and position yourself accordingly, Chris Griffin, chief executive of One Life Partnership, a coaching company, says. “The easiest changes are those where your strengths, values and passion line up.” Emphasise your experience and soft skills, such as commercial acumen and political nous. This will help you to compete with those who have more technical proficiency but less work experience.
