​Whether you're seeking fulfillment, a change of pace, or a new direction entirely, a career change requires strategic action. We've sought the expertise of Jacqueline da Costa, a certified career coach who has navigated her own career transitions and now dedicates her life to helping others redefine their paths. Here are some tips for those considering a career pivot,

1. Customization is Key
In today's competitive job market, a one-size-fits-all resume won't make the cut. With Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) being the first gatekeeper in many organizations, Jacqueline emphasizes the importance of tailoring your resume to each specific job application. "The more keyword matches you have to a job description, the higher your chances of being selected for an interview," Jacqueline advises. This meticulous customization extends beyond mere buzzwords, reflecting a deep alignment with the role's requirements and the organization's culture.

2. Showcase Your Achievements
Results speak louder than responsibilities. Jacqueline underscores the power of integrating tangible outcomes into your resume. "If you're in sales, include your quota alongside your measures," she suggests. This approach not only demonstrates your capability but also offers hiring managers a clear picture of what you can bring to their team. Highlighting your achievements, particularly those that align with the prospective role's expectations, can significantly boost your chances of advancing through the selection process.

3. Conciseness and Relevance
A common misconception is that more experience necessitates a longer resume. However, Jacqueline advises against this. "Your resume doesn't need to be 1-2 pages if you have significant professional experience, but ensure your bullets are relevant to the job you're applying to," she says. This strategy involves a thoughtful distillation of your experiences, showcasing only those aspects that resonate most strongly with the job at hand. It's about communicating your value and fit succinctly and effectively.

Embarking on Your Journey
As you consider your next career move, remember that transitions are as much about self-discovery as they are about strategic positioning. Jacqueline da Costa's journey from corporate insurance to nonprofit work and finally to career coaching exemplifies the transformative power of such shifts.

For those ready to redefine their career paths, Jacqueline's insights and personalized coaching approach can be the compass you need. Discover more about her journey, her coaching philosophy, and how she can assist you in your career transition at Redefine Your Path Coaching.
