I am clearly not plugged into current events…ironically.

But happy belated:

Drop me a reply if you identify as an egg eater, baddie or both for a shoutout.

Anyways today’s email is about how to stay unemployed or pivot into a new industry successfully.

The choice is yours really (:

FYI: You have 6 days left for BBC’s LinkedIn live session on how to get your next role in Project Management.

How to stay unemployed till further notice:

Applying for j*bs you are FULLY qualified for.

This will keep you stuck in the j*b market forever.

What you need to do instead is…

Apply for j*bs you are NOT fully qualified for.

By relying on your transferable skills.
Rather than direct experience.

This is how I secured a £38K pay rise.

Going from Intern to an Associate level role.
I was NOT qualified for.

And I believe ANYONE can do this.

I recently advised an Executive Assistant on how to pivot in Project Management in 3 simple steps.

Because it seems like everyone wants to get into this field at the moment.

If that’s you, then sign up for this upcoming webinar.

Here are the 3 simple steps to pivot:

Step 1: Invest in a course/qualification
↳ Put this right at the top of your CV/Resume.
↳ This shows your active professional development.

Check out courses on LinkedIn Learning.

Step 2: Tweak your j*b titles to match
↳ Instead of: “Executive Assistant…”
↳ Say: “Project Assistant & Executive Support…”

Sounds sexier…now we are cooking!

Step 3: Get rid of j*b title descriptions in your experience
↳ Instead of “Prepared time-sensitive materials, ensuring accuracy for high-stakes meetings.”

↳ Say: “Facilitated due diligence documentation for deals with an aggregate value of £1.6 Million pounds, ensuring transactions closed within the project timeframe.”

No ChatGPT…I’m just good with words (:

Make these small changes.
Start securing more interviews.
Then eventually bag a j*b in any field.

I gave this advice in 5 minutes, during a TikTok Live session.

Professionals at BBC are giving more in-depth advice over 1 hour LinkedIn live session.
