If you are looking to change your career and wondering how to go about applying for new jobs then it is time to analyse your skills and look at what interests you in your next chosen career. Go through your CV and jobs that you have done before and look at what skills you have that are transferable into another role.
Think about is there any training that you can do that will help you into a new role and what this would be. If you could mention this in an application to a potential new employer then this would help your application greatly.
