PIVOT! Transitioning Your Career to a New Sector
For many, making a big career shift is on the horizon, and now is the time to pivot! You may be changing positions, you’ve chosen to go in a different direction, or you are at the beginning of your career and need to rethink your career goals. Whatever your situation, the idea of transitioning to a completely different job or an unfamiliar sector can be daunting. How do you even begin? And what are the practical steps to leaving your position? This career-advice panel will discuss all this and more.
We’ve gathered a panel of experienced career professionals to explore your options and how to think about your skills and experiences to translate them to a different sector. Then, we’ll focus on how to revise your resume, rework your network, strategize your career goals, research new options, and retool your narrative. Finally, we’ll discuss the practical considerations to think about and plan for as a part of the transition including: how to find help at your organization, what your ethical obligations are, how to transfer your responsibilities, what should your “out of office say”, what you can and can’t take with you, and much more.
Our panelists include:
- Alessandro Terenzoni – former government lawyer
- Paul Lee – law firm representative
- Camille Thompson – law school career development professional
- Mary Giovagnoli – government employee, former legal services lawyer, and policy professional
This program is a Zoom webinar, so only presenters will be visible to attendees. You can ask questions through the Q&A function and may ask those questions anonymously. We will leave time at the end for questions if you wish to come on camera or off mute to interact with the panelists. This discussion will not be recorded, nor may attendees record this session.
We know this is an unprecedented shift in employment! We are here to help with the practical transition and ensure your mental health and well-being remain intact during the process.
