Networking is essential in the media industry. I’ve seen people with almost no experience get hired on as talent because of connections they made at career fairs and other events.
Your network can surprise you with opportunities and connections you did not know existed. I find it is important to talk about your career change with people because your network may offer connections that you thought were too obscure but proved fruitful. Great tips in the video!
I subscribed to Work It Daily weeks ago, and I have already recommended the subscription to my family and friends. This video was perfect for me because it validated that if I ever wanted a career change, this is how to go about it. I already was thinking this route, but the video made it much clearer added the extra touch of networking. Networking is so important. It opens the opportunities and doors for you that may have otherwise been closed. This has also inspired my next blog post! Work It Daily is awesome!
TJ is so right! Your network is so invaluable. I just landed two interviews based off people I know, not by using the "spray and pray" method. Great advice TJ & the Work It Daily team!
I've watched at least 4 of your videos in the last 48 hours. All great information that I've already started changing and put into motion. Networking, changing the contents of my resume and LinkedIn profile I feel will be a huge benefit. I wish I new this information 9 months ago. But grateful I do now.
After 30 years in one career I was able to make a smooth career change through someone in my network that I had worked alongside several times in my past role. Your relationships with people are key!
This is a very good listen ... my experience resonates well with JT's comments about using your network to advocate and vouch for you when looking to re-align your career into a new discipline or set of skills. I particularly like the thought about asking the experts in your network for advice related to your career change ... am i a good fit, is this a good idea, is this new field a good place to be given my previous background. Finally, I have used a well-connected member of my network to connect me with 3 leaders in 3 major companies and am just following up on those leads now. I'm a believer that well-connected members of my Network will be the key to my career change/re-alignment. Thanks JT!
As I evaluate what direction I need to go in with my career, Tip #2 stood out for me because I’m coming from working in the Federal world back to the Private sector. On top of that I have 26 years of being a military wife and putting my career on hold, I feel like a fish out of water so it’s imperative that I find ways to acquire the industry related skills that I need to make that career move. So I am finding real value in the Networking opportunities that I have through LinkedIn. Whether I’m the lucky winner or not, I’m excited to do more networking because that’s the key to making my chances of landing that dream job a reality!
Networking is essential to move on a new career - that´s my personal experience on how I am getting interviews and be confidence that one will be my next professional challange!.
Now i am in the middle of nowhere, i tried hard to find a good job to work with good peoples, to raise my family with good things , but failed , again and again, i show my love and loyalty every time on each job , but i feel no ones cares about what i do , just keep digging my own fates at the aged 36 , seeing the promises failed for my family by each day. i keep updating my self, learning new things, but never give up, may be one day i will find my destiny. Thanks for sharing your video with us.
Networking is essential in the HR/Recruiting field. It's something that I know I need to focus on and work at. Networking can help advocate me to a company I might want to pursue, or help give me advice on who to contact to help get me to my end goal.
I've come to embrace the positive impact of networking. For an introvert like me, it was quite a challenge, but it truly works! My current challenge however is entering into the publishing industry and making myself known to editors who are constantly approached by budding writers. How do I make myself stand out without appearing desperate or hassling? Thank you for the video!
This video is a useful way to think even if you are changing within your industry. Most people think of a career change as something major, say going from being an architect to being a nurse. But this can also apply for changing within a field. For example, say you are a software engineer that writes user apps like a word processor. If you want to change to writing websites, that's considered a career change requiring a lot of the same thought and work.
The networking method you recommend is to first, reach out to one's network and to have meaningful conversations with connections to get a full grasp for what it will take to earn a new position. These conversations are particularly beneficial in that they will allow you to showcase your personality and aptitude, as well as your experience. They will also allow you to meet key players who can advocate on your behalf as well as provide you with the right advice.
In my view, networking is knowing Who you are? What you are? Who you know? In training Industry, as a trainer/facilitator the business is not through luck, its who acknowledges your skills and competency, more visibility. Working on a independent platform, relationship building is significant.
Networking is the way to reach the market, have visibility, and let the different field get visibility of the links with the current field of work! Appreciate your insightful inputs on most videos. They are simplified!
networking is the best weapon any one can have to get hired. it all jorts down to how we communicate and manage professional connections ex- LinkedIn helped me getting opportunities through messages from employers directly.
Method used, is to access your network and have meaningful conversations to better understand what its takes to earn a position, during which time you will also have a chance to show your personality, aptitude and experience.
Transferable skills, acquiring skills still needed, networking, meeting key people in chosen field that can help with obtaining more skills, introduce more people that are key in my field also use as references and key advice
Thank you for the great video, great boost of confidence I needed. Do you have any tips for people who don’t like social media/public profiles but still need to create a Linkedlin page?? 🤔🥺😂🙏
Networking is essential to achieving the career you want. I’ve learned that “who you know” could greatly benefit you than “what you claim to know.” Someone that works for the company you want to enter into putting in a good word for you separates you from the other applicants.
Having just changed from 15 years in the LEGAL field to the FOOD MANUFACTURING business (couldnt be more unrelated!) it was through networking and word of mouth. It is for my brother in laws company. And even he put me through a temporary trial period to see if I even like it and to see if the skills i had before transfer at all (management/customer service skills etc.). I was just hired on full time and am learning the ins and outs of a food processing plant. I quite enjoy it!! ....gotta be honest, its pretty hard to "cold-convince" hiring managers via resumes and hiring sites in that same way. frankly, it seemed impossible.
What is the method she teaches us to use when networking to help you exchange careers. - Look to your network - networking is extra important when you are changing careers. You will need advocates to help endorsing you out. Your network can give you a seal of approval or even getting your resume into the hands of ta hiring manager. Alright, first one to point it out, now everyone can copy and paste. Lol, just kidding. JT, please choose me, I am making a career move right now and have been working on my LinkedIn profile heavily but I would really love to get some peronalized insights from a LikedIn Guru like yourself. Thanks for the videos. Luiz
Networking plays important part in today's world. enables you to reach like minded people and build know how. it also helps in getting desired job as well.
networking is the chance to get some free career advice. Chatting with more experienced professionals in your industry of interest gives you the chance to ask them what they think of the career moves you’ve been mulling over.
Networking is inevitable for growth and wide reach around the world. Networking is very intricate to career growth as someone you haven't met physically is a potential link to your next job.
I haven't been in a changing career situation yet but I intend todo I guess networking can help me to know more about my next career skills and to connect me with professionals in the field so that I can start correctly with learning and improving those skills.
Networking can help me switch careers because once as long as I have the chance of peple know about my experiences, higher the chance of one of them want to hire me to work with them.
Networking was key to a contractor position I just started. The position is for 1 year, so I will be looking again soon. I do want to change careers, and know where I want to be , just need a bit of help getting there. Thanks
I like the tip 2.upskill, this kind of provides steps by which your area plugging the gaps in the skills needed for the new job. Since learning required to go out meet people it automatically aids the networking tip. I do Swear by networking for apart from putting a word for you it also helps learn about what's happening in the other world.
I need more information please. I’m trying to switch gears back to 10 years ago. I’m doing all you suggested here as well as many of your other videos and I’m still not getting in the door. Do I need to apply for entry level jobs to start working again?
Changing careers need help of advocate to confirm your ability and personality fit. Not just adding a shallow connection but really someone who can vouch for you. How do you get someone like that if you are new?
Now a days Network is the key factor to increase the chance of getting new job opportunities. Specially LinkedIn is very important to get better opportunities via professional connections.
Networking and building up your skills are important regardless of whether you are changing careers. It can also be a source of inspiration, ideas and solutions. Always look at the different roles in your job for transferable skills like customer service, liaising with other services, leadership, etc.
I spent the entire summer of 2017 networking in preparation for my career change. Without having done that due diligence, I wouldn't have made as smart an informed choice as I feel I did.
Networking allows you to meet professionals in the career you want to move into and at meet people at the kinds of companies you want to work for. Also, helps you showcase your personality as well as your aptitude si you can earn a position.
Networking is very key to be able to land jobs that are relevant to you and that are of interest to you. It's as useful; and sometimes more; as having a good resume and covering letter. I have seen people change countries to land jobs that are of their area of expertise through having strong networks within their field.
Networking is essential and hard work. Yet, it may be actually easier when you’re new to an industry. Networking is all about telling your story, asking questions, and getting advice. When changing your career, your story is going to be more interesting than most and, in being new, you will naturally have questions and require advice.
J.T., thanks once again, you nailed it in a clear concise manner. Your thoughts helped me recognize that I have forgotten some items that could be used from my military career to help me step into a career change that I am currently considering since my company is closing it's doors and moving away. THANK YOU!!
Networking doesn’t work. People are always thinking about themselves and unless they know you from Adam they will ignore you. I tried to network when I became a life insurance sales agent and people stopped talking to me when they saw my new title “sales agent with New York xxxx” on LinkedIn.
As a veteran separating soon with a wife and child, I’m having difficulty deciding between schooling for a more desired career or going for a career related to my military job, in order to provide for my family during my transition. Do you have any tips for balancing financial stability and training for a new career?
I am a Math teacher with a computer science degree. The closest I feel that I am to me degree field is through the engineering club I sponsor. I love working and mentoring kids and I love coaching but I don't know those transferable skills and what corporate or big time jobs that I can get with those skills.
The method of networking in order to change careers 1st have to obtain a goal and put to use for the Transferable Skills, also Improve own developed skills, im new to linkedin so its hard trying to build a relationship
Your network : its the most important thing to change ur career path. Who we meet. Who can we look up to. Who can guide us. Advice us & who can vouch for us.
I know networking is key. I feel like it's easy to explain to your network or for your network to already know how skills can transfer. However, it's another thing to have it properly explained in a succinct and optimal way on a resume and on a LinkedIn profile -- making sure the correct key words and terminology are listed for the job or jobs you are seeking. Having J.T. review my LinkedIn profile would be ideal as I try to transition to another career path. Thank you for considering me!
I really need to talk to you about changing career ...I've been struggling with that and still didn't find job to change my actual feild...which I can't do anymore here...
Thank You for your advice. Use your Network; Upskill to fill the gap between current skills and required ones.Be there, at the right with right attitude will help you to network and to find the way to new career.
When people say "networking" I hear connections. Being connected to other people is not only a way of evolving your career but the best way of evolving as a person. These days I saw a really inspiring quote at Linkedin saying that each new door you open to another person is a brand new way you open to yourself. This is how I see it.
Good advice and I agree there are steps here that too many mature workers skip or more likely do not know they need to take. So sad to hear about people taking courses or returning to full time study without even knowing if it will be beneficial
Thanks JT. Although I have not changed careers, I did move my entire of family back to Chicago. It was a tough move, but through networking (verbally, LinkedIn, and various other job search sites) I was able to land a very good job. However, the tech space is very stressful and I want to spend more time with my wife and 5 kids. Please help as I know I’m capable of doing many things in the networking field.

I find Networking is important on many levels, however you need to know how to network. That on its own is not an easy task, as people may say it is. I have been on all sorts of levels and find that one on one meeting someone in the raw is my favorite approach. Its real, you can shake hands, talk about a current issue, relate to that person or persons with common interest and really just make a great connection and memorable network experience that will make future relations that much more comfortable.

Showcase your personality, aptitude and experience to get hired. Build relationships and get people to trust you.
Networking is fundamental. The choice can't be objective. So people tend to hire someone they know, it helps to manage expectations. So extend your network. It will help to change your career
Network has introduced to me to countless edifying people. Knowing these people have significantly increase my chances of the job that is right for me!

J.T., thanks once again, you nailed it in a clear concise manner. Your thoughts helped me recognize that I have forgotten some items that could be used from my military career to help me step into a career change that I am currently considering since my company is closing it's doors and moving away. THANK YOU!!
You're very welcome Monica! Best of luck in your job search. Keep us posted on your progress :)
I do have one quick question: I'm half way through my Bachelors degree, how should I place it on my resume? THANKS!
Hi Monica. We have an great article on our site that addresses this issue. You can read it here: www.workitdaily.com/incomplete-degree-resume/
Networking doesn’t work. People are always thinking about themselves and unless they know you from Adam they will ignore you. I tried to network when I became a life insurance sales agent and people stopped talking to me when they saw my new title “sales agent with New York xxxx” on LinkedIn.
As a veteran separating soon with a wife and child, I’m having difficulty deciding between schooling for a more desired career or going for a career related to my military job, in order to provide for my family during my transition. Do you have any tips for balancing financial stability and training for a new career?
I am a Math teacher with a computer science degree. The closest I feel that I am to me degree field is through the engineering club I sponsor. I love working and mentoring kids and I love coaching but I don't know those transferable skills and what corporate or big time jobs that I can get with those skills.
Thank you so much!
All the job opportunities I've had in the last 6 years have come through my network, what else can I say?
Networking to let keep skills relevant when exchanges experience.
I really appreciate what you do
The method of networking in order to change careers 1st have to obtain a goal and put to use for the Transferable Skills, also Improve own developed skills, im new to linkedin so its hard trying to build a relationship
Your network : its the most important thing to change ur career path. Who we meet. Who can we look up to. Who can guide us. Advice us & who can vouch for us.
Networking is the key in today's market. It is no longer what you know but who you know.
This is true. Your network is your networth. This has helped me a lot in my career journey
I know networking is key. I feel like it's easy to explain to your network or for your network to already know how skills can transfer. However, it's another thing to have it properly explained in a succinct and optimal way on a resume and on a LinkedIn profile -- making sure the correct key words and terminology are listed for the job or jobs you are seeking. Having J.T. review my LinkedIn profile would be ideal as I try to transition to another career path. Thank you for considering me!
Networking helps you stay in touch with people in your industry. Many jobs are just filled by networking.
As they say, it's not what you know, it's who you know, therefore, if you don't network, you don't meet more people, thus your 'who's' don't grow.
All jobs i joined since 5 years were found via my network, that gave me the chance to experience a new way to find and identify a new oppotunities.
I really need to talk to you about changing career ...I've been struggling with that and still didn't find job to change my actual feild...which I can't do anymore here...
I found out my experience is too long ago to apply for certification. How can I demonstrate what I have to offer?
Where would you go to network for a social media job/ illustration career esp. if you’re older?🤷🏻♀️
A lot of job industries lack diversity and opportunities to teach and learn. I work in the legal industry for 3 years and I hate it.
So if u have no network ?
Thank You for your advice. Use your Network; Upskill to fill the gap between current skills and required ones.Be there, at the right with right attitude will help you to network and to find the way to new career.
Nice guiding video to help manage career change...
My network is the best place to hear about new career options and to meet more new people.
I would love to see a video about moms who have taken time off to raise their children.
When people say "networking" I hear connections. Being connected to other people is not only a way of evolving your career but the best way of evolving as a person. These days I saw a really inspiring quote at Linkedin saying that each new door you open to another person is a brand new way you open to yourself. This is how I see it.
Networking - Meet key people, advocate for you, get right advise
Good advice and I agree there are steps here that too many mature workers skip or more likely do not know they need to take. So sad to hear about people taking courses or returning to full time study without even knowing if it will be beneficial

However, the tech space is very stressful and I want to spend more time with my wife and 5 kids. Please help as I know I’m capable of doing many things in the networking field.

I find Networking is important on many levels, however you need to know how to network. That on its own is not an easy task, as people may say it is. I have been on all sorts of levels and find that one on one meeting someone in the raw is my favorite approach. Its real, you can shake hands, talk about a current issue, relate to that person or persons with common interest and really just make a great connection and memorable network experience that will make future relations that much more comfortable.

What is the method she teaches us to use when networking to help you change careers. - Choose the right career path for you; talk to industry professionals, have meaningful conversations to understand what it will take to earn a position. Showcase your personality, aptitude and experience to get hired. Build relationships and get people to trust you.
Networking is fundamental. The choice can't be objective. So people tend to hire someone they know, it helps to manage expectations. So extend your network. It will help to change your career

This is a very good listen ... my experience resonates well with JT's comments about using your network to advocate and vouch for you when looking to re-align your career into a new discipline or set of skills. I particularly like the thought about asking the experts in your network for advice related to your career change ... am i a good fit, is this a good idea, is this new field a good place to be given my previous background. Finally, I have used a well-connected member of my network to connect me with 3 leaders in 3 major companies and am just following up on those leads now. I'm a believer that well-connected members of my Network will be the key to my career change/re-alignment. Thanks JT!
