Despite the covid-19 pandemic, many employees want to change careers. If you want to transition to a new career now, it is natural to wonder how to stand out or how to show employers that you can succeed. With this in mind, Forbes, quoted by the "Human Resources" portal, has put together a list with four tips for changing careers successfully.

1. understand what your options are

Before you decide to move, it is important to be aware of the various companies, roles and opportunities available that align with your experience and interests. This will give you a clear focus and help you make the most informed decision about the next step. When you think about your options, you often find that there are more ways to move on to a new industry than you initially expected.

2. Focus on your qualities

It is important to know how to leverage your value. You must make your qualities known so that companies see you as an asset, not a liability.

3. Connect with people in the area

If you are just sending out resumes you are limiting yourself. Search LinkedIn for people who work in the industries and roles you are interested in and build relationships. If this is done the right way, not only will you gain new friends who want to help you succeed, but you will also learn more effective ways to stand out.

4. Don't assume you have to start from scratch

Don't make the mistake of assuming you have to accept little to change careers, especially when you already have years of experience that could be beneficial to the new industry you want to work in.
