01

Choose three skills you can prove.

Start with real work you have done, not a list copied from an advertisement.

  • A tool or system you can use
  • A problem you regularly solve
  • A responsibility other people trust you with
02

Test each skill across titles.

Customer service can lead to front-of-house, reception, student services, call-centre and account-support roles. Rostering can lead to venue, workforce and administration pathways.

03

Keep industry optional at first.

Search across industries, compare recurring requirements and then narrow the field when the work or conditions stop matching your direction.
