🔄 Why "I don't have experience" costs you interviews

Hello there 😎 

Career changers make one critical mistake when transitioning between industries:

They focus on what they lack. Instead, they need to reframe the experience they have.

I see this pattern with a client who spent years in nonprofit communications. She kept saying "I don't have corporate experience" instead of highlighting her actual business impact.

The fix? Three strategic moves:

  1. Get laser-focused on one role. For example, don't just say "marketing" or "communications." Research 3-5 job postings for "Corporate Communications Manager" or "Healthcare Marketing Manager." Note the exact language they use.

  2. Reframe your achievements using your target industry's language. Try this prompt in your Claude: "Rewrite this accomplishment for a [target industry] audience: [paste your achievement]." Then tweak generic descriptions into industry-specific language. For example, change "increased engagement" to "grew user activation by X%" or "managed projects" into "led cross-functional initiatives driving X outcome."

  3. Adjust your title strategically. If "Communications Coordinator" undersells your actual scope, use "Marketing & Communications Lead" on LinkedIn. Titles are fungible. Most are made up anyway.

Once you get this right in the resume, everything gets easier.

You can tweak your LinkedIn profile. Your LinkedIn headline should speak directly to your target role, not your current nonprofit title.

The networking piece gets easier once your positioning is clear. People refer candidates who sound like obvious fits, not career changers who need explaining.
