    FAQ

    Seeking advice from the community! I have a background in hospitality management but have recently gained certification in project management and aim to pivot into the tech industry. How can I reframe my LinkedIn ‘About’ section to emphasize transferable skills without seeming like a stretch? Examples would be appreciated!

    It’s great that you’re looking to navigate this career transition strategically.
    In a nutshell: Your LinkedIn bio should focus on your future career aspirations rather than past job history. Concentrate on showcasing transferable skills and the value you offer to your desired industry.
    To revamp your bio effectively, start by clearly stating your new career objective at the beginning. Tailor your experiences to align with this goal. Highlight transferable skills that are relevant to the tech sector, using industry-specific keywords. Additionally, consider supplementing your written bio with diverse content formats like LinkedIn articles, portfolios, or videos to substantiate your narrative and exhibit your capabilities. By incorporating various content types, you can present a dynamic profile that bolsters your career transition story.
    Best wishes,
    Sean
