Expert Guidance for Communicating Your Career Change
Many clients worry about explaining their career transition to potential employers. I’ll help you craft a compelling personal brand statement that transforms your diverse experience into a strategic advantage:
“A full-stack software engineer and career changer, I bring 5 years of experience in customer complaints, where I heard, first-hand, what people didn’t like about the company’s e-commerce site! Full of questions about how websites function and the links needed between users, customers, and staff so items can be dispatched on time, I decided to retrain as a software engineer so I can develop sites that keep customers happy. Naturally empathetic, I help the people I collaborate with feel heard and understood.”
