How to Make a Career Pivot
How to Make a Career Pivot
Your career isn't just your career. It's your contribution.
Whether you're under-challenged, overworked or just plain ready for something more interesting, more meaningful or more lucrative, one thing is for certain:
You deserve a job that you’re proud of. You deserve a job that you enjoy.
Sure, sure, you may be doing just a bang-up job of keeping a roof over your head, groceries in the fridge and braces on the 12-year-old's teeth, but if you've got firepower that’s going untapped, career goals you’re not reaching, or something deep inside that keeps whispering (or yelling), “It’s time for this,” then it may be time for a pivot.
How to Make a Career Pivot is a no-fuss, roll-up-your-sleeves guide for anyone who refuses to believe a job should simply be survivable. This one's for everyone who can't envision living with the dull (or sharp) pain of an unfulfilling career for the rest of your working life.
How to Make a Career Pivot (which is the 2021 updated version of our Ridiculously Awesome Career Pivot Kit) is for you if you need a little (or huge) nudge to help you transform that burning idea, simmering discontent or outlandish career vision into a "Oh, heck yes” career transition.
Let's get started on tomorrow, today.

How to Make a Career Pivot is for you if:
You want to shift into a new industry or role, but you're not quite sure where to begin.
You feel like, if you had a bona fide road map that made this transition seem possible, you'd be ready to take a solid run at it.
You're not sure how to shift your brand or your paperwork (resume, LinkedIn profile, etc.) so that you'll make perfect sense to this new audience you're courting.
You need help figuring out who you need to know, and how to get into cahoots with influential people in this new field.
You need some ideas on what to do when things start feeling really scary, which they typically will (change is terrifying!)
You want to see some examples of real people who have made big career leaps (and are so happy with that decision).
You know that you'll kick yourself if you get to the end of your career without at least giving this a shot.
