2.Be ready to talk up your portable skills."What have you done well that a different type of employer might be able to use?" asks Don Marotto, a managing director at career development firm Impact Group who often counsels executive career changers. "If you've succeeded in sales, customer service, or business analysis in any industry, you can do it almost anywhere else."
2.大力推销 “通用技能”：职业发展咨询公司Impact Group总经理唐-马罗托经常为有意改行的高管提供建议。他问他们：“你擅长的领域中，有哪些技能对其他行业雇佣者来说同样适用？例如，有些人擅长某行业的销售、客户服务或营业分析等工作，那么这些人无论跳槽到哪个行业，这些技能都是通用的。”
Even if not, he adds, "Most people have more transferable skills than they think they have." The key is to identify yours, then practice putting them in terms a prospective employer can easily recognize. Consider, for example, how Stacey Hilton moved from a job as a TV news reporter and anchor in Augusta, Ga., to a new career in public relations in Raleigh, N.C.
即便不是这样，他补充说，“大部分人所具备的‘通用技能’往往比自己想象的要多。”我们首先要做的就是找出这些技能，学着用潜在雇主容易接受的语言展示这些技能。举例来说，史黛丝-希尔顿之前在美国缅因州首府奥古斯塔从事电视新闻记者及新闻主播工作，而现在她在北卡罗来纳州首府罗利正体验着公共关系领域一个全新的职业。她是怎样成功转行的呢？
"As a news anchor, I was responsible for a team of people and what we put on the air each day. In PR, they call that a project manager," Hilton says. "So I tailored my resume accordingly, and played up specific ways my TV experiences would make me great at PR." It took six months, but Hilton got her dream job as an account manager at 919 Marketing.
希尔顿说：“作为一名新闻主播，我不仅要指导团队的工作，而且要负责每天的播报内容；这在公共关系领域被称为项目经理。据此，我的简历也做了相应的调整，突出强调为什么我在电视新闻领域的工作经验使我同样能够胜任公共关系领域的工作。”尽管耗费了她六个月的时间，但希尔顿最终完成了事业的华丽转身，获得了营销、咨询与公共关系公司 919 Marketing客户经理一职。
