Do you feel like your lack of experience is stopping you from making a career change?

All too often when applying for a job, you'll come across the line - "must have experience". How do you get experience in a field you've never worked in but are absolutely passionate about?
Well, you've come to the right place - we're here to tell you that it's more than possible and here's what you need to do.

1. Lead with your story, not your history - Your CV isn't always the best way to let your employer know more about you.
Richard Branson doesn't hire based on experience. He hires based on personality and cultural fit:
"The first thing to look for when searching for a great employee is somebody with a personality that fits with your company culture. Most skills can be learned, but it is difficult to train people on their personality."

2. Try a skills-based CV - If you are forced to use your CV as a way to promote yourself, lead with your story and not with your history.

3. Take an alternative approach - Whilst CV's are an excellent traditional medium to showcase your skills, if you're applying for a job where you in fact have no experience in how about you try using a video application instead? You can use this platform to best showcase your personality to your prospective employer.

Sounds good so far?
