Takeaways on how to change industries:

Networking (80% of effort): Spend 8 out of 10 weekly hours networking by connecting with industry professionals through coffee meetings, mutual connections, or local organizations like the Chamber of Commerce, PMI, or SHRM. Personal connections significantly increase the chances of getting interviews and job offers.

Reskilling (10% of effort): Dedicate 1 hour to learning industry-relevant skills through affordable platforms like Coursera. Certifications in fields like Project Management or Data Analytics can demonstrate proactivity and help you stand out.

Job Applications (10% of effort): Spend 1 hour perusing job boards, such as LinkedIn or Indeed, and tailor resumes for each role. Avoid "spray and pray" tactics, as they are inefficient.
