✅ HOW u can enter an industry with NO experience

Hello!!! Since it’s (almost) grad period & loads of us are searching for jobs, I tot I would share with you how I got an opportunity to work in an industry I had 0 knowledge in ( I didn’t study nor work in that field before!)

sooo here’s how:

1️⃣ Share how your previous experiences/ knowledge can be RELEVANT to this new industry! (E.g. How software A is similar in x aspect to B/ I learnt soft skill x which can be applied in…)

2️⃣ READUP about the industry so you can show understanding of it & show credibility that you are not blindly jumping into the industry &&& during this u can find out what the company value/ look out for and add those skillsets into ur resume ✨

3️⃣ Bring up previous examples where u had to learn things in a short amount of time, this can prove to them you’re adaptable and can learn on the job 👌

4️⃣ NETWORK, if possible reach out to those who are already in the field / company to find out more, you don’t want to end up hating the job too!! Coffee chats help a lot! & u might even pick up some insider tips 🤫

If you’re reading this and u already got a job in an industry you’re unfamiliar with, congrats! Now is when you should hold true to the promises you agreed to during the interview. This builds credibility! also don’t forget to enjoy and maximise your time there, don’t just work but do engage in coffee chats to get to meet new people and learn more 🤝

If y’all have any tips/ questions do comment down below too hehe, let’s try to help each other 💗
