Phase 1: Self-Assessment (Weeks 1-2)
Map your transferable skills. Our Skills Gap Analyzer identifies what you already have and what you need. Most skills transfer: project management, communication, analysis, leadership, problem-solving.
Phase 2: Research (Weeks 3-4)
Have 5-10 informational interviews with people in your target industry. Ask: "What does a typical day look like?", "What skills matter most?", "What surprised you about this field?"
Phase 3: Skill Building (Months 2-4)
Fill the gaps identified in Phase 1. Online courses, certifications, or side projects. Build proof of your new skills — a portfolio, blog, or GitHub repo.
Phase 4: Positioning (Month 4-5)
Rewrite your resume with our Experience Writer to reframe past experience for your target industry. Update LinkedIn. Start applying. Use our Cover Letter Generator to craft compelling transition narratives.
The Bridge Job Strategy
Can't jump directly? Find a bridge role that uses your current skills in the new industry, or your new skills in the current industry. This halves the perceived risk for employers.
