Really appreciated your knowledge and skills.

Hi Linda, how you are so charming and not stressed even 1 %, i can see a very positive, Confident and inspiring look on your face. it looks like you can clear any job interview by your expressions, I want to know how can i maintain this level of confidence and positivism during interview. how to eliminate the fear of interview.

[@cutiepieaj9112]

[@anasrafaat]

hi Linda, hope all is going well, actually i watch most of your videos, you are amazing, keep going. and if it possible, i wanna you to answer this question in a new video "tell me about your strategy to increase the sales for a retail company"? the second thing, i'm not a English native speaker, and when i watch your video, i turn the video speed to 0.75 to listen what you say hahaha, so if u can to speak carefully, i mean slowly.

[@greeeneyes91]

What if you don't know your ultimate goal, but are unhappy in your current position?

[@fatimasamira3695]

Me too. But, maybe, that's a good thing. I mean, we can apply to any job other than the kind of job we are in right now. If you look at it this way. You are open to many possibilities. However, I want to say something that I now believe is important. Don't go after a job. Go after "the job". I mean the job must give you financial confidence not just financial security or financial freedom. I mean you must feel confident when it comes to financial decisions. The job must give much more than just money and title. It must give you the opportunity to explore your personality further, your hidden talents that even you were aware of. It must help you boost your self-esteem. You must feel more and more human not robot in human body. Thank you for reading

[@skoolie_life3261]

Take a personality test like Myers-Briggs. Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Do you like to dress up in business attire, or are you more casual? Do you like working alone, or on a team? Can you focus and concentrate for long periods of time, or do you need constant stimulation? Envision yourself in different roles. The better you know yourself and your preferences, the more likely you are to pick the right goal.

[@DrJonTam]

It takes time to figure that out. One thing you could do is try other jobs and see if you like them. Or you can start a side hustle (real easy on fiverr or upwork) and see if it gains traction or if it’s something you like. It’s something I talk about a lot in my own videos.

[@sayid.malekdoost]

Hi Linda, I just wanted to say that you are awesome! By watching your videos I finally got my dream job! I followed all the steps and tips that you provided, from making a good CV and shining through interview to negotiation for salary and I will start my new job from December 1st. I live in Denmark and job seeking process and the market is slightly different from north America, but I can guarantee that your tips and teachings work well everywhere. I Thank you and appreciate what you are doing and I will recommend you to anyone who is looking for a job. God bless you

[@LindaRaynier]

Awesome Sam! I'm so happy to hear that! Congratulations and best of luck in your new career! :)

[@sayid.malekdoost]

Thank you so much. Could you please make a video about attending at workplace in the first days and weeks of a new job?

[@LindaRaynier]

You should check out my video about "How to make a good first impression on the job"

[@charlie6618]

please share more of your story

[@AndrewOMalley]

As a former chem student turned marketing expert... feels like she's speaking *directly* to me!

[@bipclaire]

Sometimes I believe it's more than the resumes, it's about knowing yourself natural strengths enough to showcase that to the decision makers or hiring managers. Overall people want to hire someone they like and might enjoy working with :)

[@alaqt]

Get closer to the goal (dream career). That's good advice. Thanks Linda!

[@cnataliec1]

Thanks for sharing everything you know! Just joined the Facebook group, I can't wait to be part of the group.

[@emilywalsh649]

what if you have no idea at all? I took the personality tests. etc. I am an online ESL teacher. I taught english overseas, was a former special ed teacher. I am drained. I did freelance work in between like content writing, photography, virtual assistant as a podcast manager and editor. I am in transition and unsure on if I want to start a business teaching yoga and coaching (which is my passion) or do marketing, learn new skills. I am unsure if I want to monetize my passions or have a steady job and do my passions for fun or a side thing.

[@BudgetsMadeEasy]

Favorite tip "that's not how it works" great advice!!!!

[@DrSuzanneDoyleMorrisinclusiq]

What they don’t tell you at the Careers Service is that it’s never too late to change career - something many of my happiest clients have done.

[@lopangmaimane3833]

wow..what a perfect relevant example. I am a lab tech (biotech background), however I am more fueled when I create art/teach people about ethics matters. I started to create communication videos/ content where I work and now I want to get short courses on digital marketing and drone license . I also did a course in compliance and then positioned myself with relevant senior networks at the institution...I am now working on a that leap

[@KarlHerzog]

Hi Ms. Linda! I'm still a university student but I landed a scholarship to my dream university in Italy thanks to your videos! I'm sorry this is unrelated but I'm so thankful for your videos and advice❤️

[@ankitamalviya9293]

First time I watched your video, and It is awesome!

[@TheaHo]

Thank you so much for your sharing!

[@NiaMSnow]

I'm switching jobs in a few weeks and I am so excited!

[@fatimasamira3695]

Best of luck

[@DrJonTam]

Hey, it’s been two years since the switch. How has it been?

[@yerisawesome]

Hi Linda, I've been watching your videos for a while now and appreciate the tips you've given out. You should do a video about How to make a good cover letter.

[@Cierra_Yvonne]

yerisawesome yesss!!! That’s how I came across her. Looking for great cover letter tips.

[@DrJonTam]

yerisawesome still need that video? Mine is coming out next week

[@俏俏小姐]

great video! Practical tips on how to make a career transition.

[@DrJonTam]

俏俏小姐 最喜歡哪一個？

[@irinas4100]

I have to say, great tips! I changed my career path and I did things you mentioned and after few months i am working in a desired department.

[@addisalemworku2959]

Thank you very much for giving your hand to the world. All are help full and keep it up.

[@jasonmims5057]

I recently went back to school and earned a certificate in paralegal studies. I'm finding it harder than I thought to het hired as a paralegal because I have no legal work experience. My work experience is in banking operations. What I learned from this video is to take a different route to entering the legal field and one way I can do that is to apply for jobs that combine operations with law. I recently came across some jobs such as legal operations specialist which I'm going to apply for.

[@DrJonTam]

Jason Mims just a word of advice that the legal industry is going to be heavily disrupted with AI and automation in the near future. We’ve already seen robots be able to sift through records in 1 hour that would take a paralegal 1 week. While moving to another industry may be an out, one thing I would suggest is to build a broader skill set rather than a narrow skill set that cannot be replaced by automation. Best of luck bro.

[@FarmsnPlots]

How to change industry after 16 years in a particular one..without compromising on CTC

[@DrJonTam]

Ash Ash you can check out a video of mine about career change mindset. I talk about why the future of work will have people working 12-15 careers and change is the new normal. I hope it helps!

[@liberalstudiesmaterials899]

May i ask what if one do if someone have a master degree but still unemployed for that particular working sector, but he cannot turn back to the starting point because he has already overqualified and job skills mismatch for another field's starting position. What should he do please?

[@auracaturan7299]

Thank you Linda Raynier for your tips. It helped me land a job. You are doing a great job.

[@tommylau2165]

thank you so much

[@klwthe3rd]

I disagree with your analysis that you cant make a major career change without doing it in incremental steps. I know lots of people personally who hated their current career path and just made a "cold turkey" career change with little to no problem. If youre transferring into an industry that is in high demand and there is a shortage of current qualified individuals to fill those jobs, employers will be willing to look "outside the box" and hire you. You might have to get certain new qualifications to help meet those new job requirements but I would never give up 3 to 5 years of my life slowly moving closer to your dream job. Its 2017, go after the job you want, do not take positions prior just to satisfy a desire employer.

[@LindaRaynier]

Kenneth White thanks for sharing. Like I said, if there is no direct route to the new job you want, then find in-between roles that will get you there. So if there is a direct route, by all means.

[@nenadmitkovski]

It doesn't have to be either or, both ways can work depending on the person. To take this risk, you have to have a great foundation to stand on otherwise you might make a mistake because you don't understand your aim, goal, your purpose. Some people know this by natural instinct but I've seen many many people confused about what they want to do in life. And for that kind of person, gradual steps is a better way forward.

[@DrJonTam]

Kenneth yes, market supply and demand is a big factory. However, everyone’s degree of pain, financial runway, and network are other major variables you gotta account for.

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Hi, Linda! Super great tips. Career transitioning is always a hard thing to do. I find this especially common among people in their 30's and 40's. Loved your advice.

[@DrJonTam]

Yep, she's got great advice!

[@celeb418]

Thank you so much always!!! Love from Korea

[@RunOs3]

Just found your channel. A lot of great stuff on here. Thank you for all the hard work.

[@aprilbehnke9611]

I love how you broke this down in a very strategic, structured and clear manner - it is helping me to visualize what needs to be done. Wish I could afford your coaching! Do you have any career change group seminars?

[@LindaRaynier]

Haven't considered it but I'll put it on my list of potential new projects! :)

[@DrJonTam]

Hey April, yeah Linda really is awesome and I love her content. I specialize in helping people navigate career changes and gain career clarity. I have some videos on that topic that may interest you.

[@advk5478]

Do you think Collections going into Client Support would be difficult ?

[@m.vieira8077]

Hi Linda. So great informations, kisses.

[@SelfMadeMillennial]

Very true, getting in the right type of company or industry makes it so much easier to transition over time to the best role. Thanks Linda, great tips!

[@sunlikeful]

Hey Linda, what advice would you give someone who is stuck in analysis paralysis mode, I always find myself sitting and thinking about roles I would like to do but I find I just keep doing this step over and over thanks becky

[@andreeacelmare]

I know I'm not Linda, but these things helped me in the past, sharing is caring: - try to get the 'Business Model You' book, it works like the business canvas but applied on the personal level; - once you have more or less a list of what you'd like to do, try eliminating them, really think them through and see if you'd actually be happy and productive by doing it everyday; - once you've left with a few of them, take action, take online courses, see videos, read blogs, speak to people who are doing it already; - also, give yourself time and space for this. It's process and the answers might not come in a week's time.

[@pathmanathannurrthiy6589]

Hi miss Linda.. I working hospitality line past 18 years I’m really interested in logistics and warehouse.. Recently I do take courses related to logistics.. I need advice is it too late late for me to switch career in age of 37?

[@auroramothergoddess]

You should do a video on personal branding you seem great at it lol 😉

[@theanxietyexpert9913]

Great video with some really well thought out tips.

[@thealphaflight2121]

Thanks for your video it has been educational . AAA+++

[@pascal7580]

Thank you for all your information and knowledge. My question is ...I'm a firefighter and would like to switch to a career that is less dangerous and that doesn't consume my life on and off shift. As you said, I do cater my resume to the job description. But putting down "Firefighter/EMT" as my previous position, even though I have all the right skills and knowledge they are asking for, seems to intimidate the interviewer. In some applications, I have removed my firefighter position off my resume hoping to get an interview, and still nothing. I'm lost and very frustrated looking for work for the past year with no positive leads. Can you help? Thank you for your time.

[@SuperChargeYourself]

Pascal honestly I think it’s so cool that you have been a firefighter! Shows hat you’re calm under duress and can handle crises very well. If I were you, I wouldn’t hide it. I’d highlight all the skills I have today that are relevant to the job at hand. Good luck.

[@MentorShelly]

I agree...I wouldn't hide it either. You have useful transferable skills as a firefighter you can use in other career paths.

[@DrJonTam]

I don’t think you should remove it. Instead, I’ll work on crafting a career change story that you can tell with conviction. Also, highlight the transferable soft skills you’ve built in firefighting (eg nerves of steel, problem solving, discipline, fitness) and how those would transfer well into your new career. Build some skills via a side hustle and start networking into the career you want to switch to learn more about what that industry is looking for. I talk about this in my videos about career change mindset and career transition so I hope that helps.

[@felixfresh1]

actually some decent input here!

[@sumaiyashaikh5220]

It's been a while I started watching your videos and your this video is an eye opener for me. I wanted to change my career and I was foolishly trying to get a job which is way different than my current job profile. Now I exactly know what to do. Thank you you saved my career. God bless you.

[@stephaniesmith5972]

You're videos are amazing! I am trying to change careers and I have been watching your videos for 2 hours. Thank you for doing this.

[@EricSetoInvesting]

Hey Linda, Great youtube channel - I'm happy that you have around 2000 in fb members. I'm starting to build my KZbin channel as well and just wondering - how did you grow your channel so quickly? what's your magic? 🙂

[@DrJonTam]

Sunny Lenarduzzi's her secret

[@plywood7894]

Yes but getting a scientist job in industry is extremely hard!

[@AsamiArt]

its not that easy to change career and get a brand new job in another feild because the basic requirements and background are so very different

[@DrJonTam]

Asami ART أسامي آرت that’s not necessarily true. Employers hire on personality, skill, and experience (in that order). You need to plan the transition carefully so you have the basic skill for the employer to even consider gambling on you. One way to do it is to sell your soft skill set and network properly, which I talk about a lot in my own videos.

[@G1manime]

Another great video with useful advice that I sought after for years. Thanks and much appreciated.

[@yngridsald969]

thank you Linda, great tips !! love from Perú

[@yarialfaro623]

Hi, I would like to know, How would you deliver a difficult message? If you work in a call center. I like your videos, they help me improve my English. I really wait for your answer, Thanks

[@YashDalvi]

Awesome 👌👌 keep it up 👍

[@zesttheblaackhippy]

Hey Linda, can you make a video on interview tips for new graduates. A few of your videos are very difficult to apply because they are for established professionals.

[@annnur5937]

Tell me guys how to deal with annoying coworkers?😰

[@DarionDAnjou]

i really want to switch to a full time creative career, but i make quite a bit as a technology consultant. my issue is bridging that period where i'm most certainly going to be earning significantly less, maybe for years after the switch

[@NiaMSnow]

Darion D'Anjou you should consider saving money before you switch a job.. that way you have that extra money for an emergency or to cover bills. You should also consider speaking to your boss and talk about an raise

[@pinkyfact0r968]

I have been through a career change and you're so spot on at pointing out how one should take the opportunity to learn and acquire skills from intermediate roles or tasks that are on the same path and leads closer to the desired job.

[@itskdreams7500]

Hi Linda, I've been watching your videos ever since I resigned from my previous job a month ago. I am currently looking for a job which is in line with my degree, which btw, I don't have enough experience. If I may ask, would you recommend sending resumes to all the companies on that field that you wanted even if you are not sure if they have job openings?

[@DrJonTam]

its K Dreams you gotta think of it as backward design. One thing I recommend to people is to identify the target, then conduct a SWOT analysis, and then tailor your candidacy from there in your cover letter, resume, and interviews. I talk about this in my video about stages of a career change transition

[@lvpu24]

Do you have any tips as to how to turn a temp position to a permanent one?

[@DrJonTam]

Have you tried asking and trying to understand their perspective and whether it's a real possibility?

Oi Irene, if you would like to become a professional scholar like Turtles-sama, I encourage you. Fame and girl group dynamics certainly come with a lot of situations and attentions that many would not be comfortable with. Besides I could really see you as a Quantum Physicist.

All step! And guess what, im a lab scientist! But til now i dont know what to do. Sometimes i feel i like this job, sometimes not... but I don’t know what new career i should do... 😌 im so stressed 😏

[@thestraightpath2909]

[@DrJonTam]

You gotta gain that clarity and self-awareness of who you are, where you want to go, and then reach out to your network to see what's possible out there.

[@koyllorup3651]

What about school ? Certain profession require a certain degree or certificate... is it possible for a nurse to be an accountant without and accounting bsn ?? Thanks !!

[@DrJonTam]

Liza Parisaca unfortunately, there are lots of certification barriers around certain trades because there are associations actively protecting them to avoid malpractice and promote the integrity of the profession. So if you want to make a career change into a regulated field like teaching in public schools, becoming a CPA, or being a lawyer, there are degree and certification requirements. Every one of them is different so you gotta do your research on the state/provincial requirements.

[@sannyabasco528]

Not possible. U have got to get a certification. CPA at least.
