Career Change Prompts: Map Your Skills and Sell Them to a New Industry
Switching careers with no relevant job title to show? These prompts map your transferable skills, reframe daily achievements as evidence, and prep you for interviews in the new field.
Skills don't only come from job titles
Running a chama, managing stock, organising events — every one is evidence if framed right. The prompts here do that reframing from your own life.
Local and diaspora in one workflow
The same skill-mapping prompts serve Kenyan career moves and international (UK, US, EU, Gulf) applications; only the CV formatting changes.
