How can i change careers with limited experience?

We Answered:

You can make your pitch for getting hired on your cover letter.
In a few sentences, you can point to how those experiences on your resume will be of benefit for the company you are applying to.

You can post your cover letter and resume, identifying items replaced by X's, here for critique.

Good luck!

Is 43 to old to change careers?

We Answered:

She should finish her classes. There are a number of online colleges and training schools where she could apply for a teaching position. She could perform her job at home via computer and phone.

There is no age that is "to old" to switch careers. Old is a state of mind.

Need advice on how I can change careers. Sick of Corporate Life?

We Answered:

I was in the same position a few years ago - completely burned out. I quit my job as a laboratory director and went home and started an embroidery business. I still do some medical laboratory consulting, but I love not having to leave my house if I don't want to.

Find something that you really love to do, get some training/education in it so you can become at least competent, if not an expert, and then lauch your own business. Make sure you identify a product or a service that people want and need and are willing to pay for. Fill that niche and you will be happy and successful.

If you like graphic design, here's a good idea to start a small business online. Create vectorized artwork for embroidery digitizers! I'm a digitizer for other embroiderers, but I'd love to create a stock design catalog of my own work. The problem is that it's really hard to come up with original designs. If you can provide artwork to digitizers, you can make some money.
