Career Change: How to Reposition in 90 Days

Month 1 — Research and reframe

• Interview 10 people already doing the role.
• List 3 target company profiles and 30 companies that match.
• Rewrite your CV and LinkedIn to highlight transferable skills — not past job titles.

Month 2 — Build credibility

• Ship one visible thing: a case study, a teardown, a project, a talk.
• Take one certification your target roles explicitly value.
• Add 20 new industry connections on LinkedIn. Message thoughtfully.

Month 3 — Apply, with context

• Apply to 30–40 roles with tailored applications.
• Reach out to the hiring manager on each, referencing the research from month 1.
• Expect 3–5 interviews. One offer per 10 serious applications is a healthy ratio in a pivot.
