\nIt\u2019s always a clever strategy to look for an intern-ship into your desired role\/company before starting as full time. This will provide you with the best possible exposure of your target profile. As pressure would be less while you are interning or volunteering, you could test your skills better and analyse your performance with a cool and relaxed mindset.
\nFor people who look to switch towards entrepreneurship, try free lancing alongside your current job before taking the plunge.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nIf you are aiming at the same job where more experienced candidates are competing against you, a valued certification proves indispensable to stand a chance. Don\u2019t hesitate to join a classroom training if need be. Sometimes the old school strategy is the only one effective.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThis is the time to get into enriched industry related discussions with experienced professionals. Try reaching them via all channels \u2013 Social Media, LinkedIn, alumni network etc. If you do not get enough chances to converse, the least you can do is follow them on professional platforms and stay updated on their career initiatives.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\nYou just need to communicate that this move is well-planned and you have the required enthusiasm to go through this transition. If you are taking the risk, you are responsible enough to get the appropriate return that would also benefit your employer.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\ninform your friends about this information<\/h3>
