Career Pivot
A strategic career change that leverages existing skills and experience to transition into a new role, industry, or career path.
A career pivot involves using your transferable skills to move into a different role or industry, rather than starting completely over.
Types of Career Pivots:
- Role Pivot: Same industry, different function
- Industry Pivot: Same role, different industry
- Complete Pivot: New role and industry
- Skill Pivot: Leverage one skill into new area
Successful pivots require identifying transferable skills, building new competencies, and strategic networking.
