Individual skill
career-pivot-plan
Build a realistic plan to change careers — mapping your transferable skills, the real gaps, and a bridge that doesn't require torching your income overnight. Use when asked to help me change careers, career pivot plan, how do I switch to [field], or I want a new career but don't know how. Produces a transferable-skills map, an honest gap analysis to the target role, a staged bridge (skill-building, positioning, side-door entry), a financial-runway reality check, and a narrative that reframes your background as an asset — not a starting-from-zero story.

# Career Pivot Plan
Career changes stall on two myths: "I have to start from scratch" and "I have to quit and figure it out." Neither is true. Most pivots are bridges — leveraging what transfers, closing specific gaps, and entering through a side door — often without a heroic income cliff. This maps your transferable strengths, the real gaps, and a staged plan that gets you there while staying solvent.
## What This Skill Produces
- **A transferable-skills map** — what from your current background genuinely carries into the target field (usually more than you think)
- **An honest gap analysis** — the specific skills, credentials, or experience the target role actually requires that you lack
- **A staged bridge** — a sequence (learn → build proof → reposition → side-door in) rather than a single leap
- **A runway reality check** — the financial and timeline realities, and lower-risk paths (transitional roles, hybrid moves, moonlighting)
- **A repositioning narrative** — how to tell your story so your background reads as an asset, not a liability
- **Concrete next steps** — the first few moves to start now
