Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted to make a career change to a different industry, but because you didn’t have any professional experience recruiters and hiring managers wouldn’t even talk to you? I have. I remember how frustrated I was when I wanted to break out of retail leadership into corporate marketing because I had years of personal experience, you know the kind of real-world, self-taught kind through my various blogs, social media marketing, content creation, and email marketing and it seemed like because I didn’t have the profession receipts on my resume I would never be taken seriously.
