Curious—have any of you ever made a big jump in your career? Like going from marketing to UX, or from finance to HR?
I’d love to hear how others navigated it. What helped you break into a new field? Did you take courses, build a portfolio, or just… jump in?

I made the jump years ago from managing a factory to an IT helpdesk. I didnt even know what a skills based CV was, but that's what I wrote.
I talked up things like problem solving, who my "internal customers" were and my interest in IT and computers outside of work.
It paid off and I kicked off a whole career I would never have been in.
