Claire Wasserman: 我是一名职业教练，帮助女性提升自我价值。我相信透明能带来改变，看到别人的经历能让人感觉不那么孤单。在职业转型过程中，求职者需要专注于展示自身技能的可迁移性，并缩小学习曲线，同时也要拓宽求职范围，并更有策略地寻找机会。首先，要向雇主证明两点：学习曲线很小，以及非传统背景是优势而非劣势。应该与目标岗位的从业者交流，了解工作中的挑战和所需技能，并将这些信息融入求职材料和面试中。在讲述自身经历时，要突出结果和影响，并尽可能生动形象地展现。如果雇主提到缺乏特定头衔，可以解释自身技能的可迁移性，并强调非传统背景的优势。要举出具体的例子，说明非传统背景如何成为优势。要解释个人目标对公司和业务的影响。不要只关注公开的职位招聘信息，应该主动联系目标公司。可以从自己使用过的产品或平台入手，寻找潜在机会。可以通过搜索竞争对手和相关人员来扩大潜在机会范围。可以从自己想解决的问题入手，寻找相关的公司和机会。更新LinkedIn个人资料，明确求职目标。要提升自我价值感，减少对拒绝的负面情绪影响。要总结之前讨论的内容，并强化相关策略。要考虑过渡性工作机会，以积累经验。可以尝试以更具创意的方式寻找机会，例如联系科技媒体。要保持积极乐观的心态，并相信自己能够找到理想的工作。 Katie: 我是一名护士，想从护士转型到医疗科技公司的技术岗位，但面试总是因为缺乏相关经验而被拒绝，希望得到如何更好地展现自身技能和经验的建议。我已经与一些项目和产品经理交流过，了解到清晰的沟通能力和推动会议进展的能力是关键技能。我考虑参与医疗科技创业孵化器项目，以积累相关经验。我一直与目标公司的人员交流，并不断改进面试技巧，虽然屡屡受挫，但我相信自己能够找到理想的工作，并且会不断提升自己。
