To switch careers successfully in 2025, start by identifying transferable skills and aligning them with your target field. Upskill through online courses, certifications, or micro-credentials. Network actively—both online and in person—and seek mentors. Tailor your résumé for relevant experience, build a portfolio if possible, and start with entry or transitional roles.
