Why it's hard to change careers from traditional manufacturing to finance

There are two most successful ways to make a career change:

The first is a linear career change.

While changing careers is a result of dissatisfaction with the industry and the position you are already in and a feeling that there is no room for advancement, the skills, experience, and contacts you already have are still the most critical factors in a successful career change. For example, media people tend to enter the enterprise after leaving the industry to engage in media relations work, senior HR and headhunters, trainers are often between the identity of the transformation, and the FMCG industry marketers often become the Internet e-commerce competing for the target.

The second way is to get a license to change careers.

For people who are good at exams and want to change careers. Across the line into those industries that require high theoretical knowledge, obtain a quality certificate, the probability of success is much higher, such as switching to finance can be through the CFA, CPA, FRM, CIIA and so on. Although the certificate can not prove your practical ability, but because there has been a certain knowledge base, and because companies need to have a certain percentage of certificate holders, so will be happy to provide career opportunities to those who have a certificate.

Transforming the industry is not easy, the most important thing is to look at the relevance of the industry, you can choose the industry's upstream and downstream related industries and the industry horizontally related to the industry, so that the transformation of the simplest, more than 30% of the relevance of the industry, will give you a great advantage. But never stay in your old experience. To learn to change.
