Staying in HR but Changing Industry

ExecuNet Master Class Host Tony Vlahos  shares the story of a member of the ExecuNet community and asks Career Strategist Saundra Botts to comment on how this person can stay in her function but change industry.

“This is why we don’t do resumes off templates. Everything we do is built specifically for that person. There’s no one person that’s going to be the same as another. And it can’t be just be about the collateral. It can’t be just about the resume. It also has to be about how she’s optimized on LinkedIn, how she talks about herself. The very core of all of this is how she thinks about herself. That’s the biggest adjustment,” says Saundra.

Listen to Saundra and Tony talk about recognizing and communicating one’s value outside of a particular industry.
