Recently, someone asked me for advice on changing careers.

They wanted to know what steps worked for me when I pivoted from an analyst focused position over to a recruiting role many moons ago.

While I consider myself fortunate to be doing something I love now, I’ll admit that my change in careers was more the result of sheer nerve than it was of a real strategy.
