Job Search Strategies: How can I successfully make a career change to B2B account management?
Joy Broto Nath , Global Corporate Trainer & Strategist answered:

Evaluate your current job satisfaction. While you are doing this, there are some things you can do at your current job to help you prepare to move on when it is time for a change. Assess your interests, values, and skills. Review past successful roles, volunteer work, projects, and jobs to identify preferred activities and skills.
Determine whether your core values and skills are addressed through your current career. There are free online tools you can use to help assess career alternatives. If you are having difficulty coming up with ideas, consider meeting with a career counsellor for professional advice. You can find a wealth of information online simply by Googling the jobs that interest you.
A good source of contacts for informational interviewers is your college alumni career network. LinkedIn is another great resource for finding contacts in specific career fields of interest. Consider taking an evening course at a local college or an online course. Upgrade your skills.
Look for ways to develop new skills in your current job which would pave the way for a change e. There are ways you can position yourself for a career change without having to go back to school. Consider a new job in the same industry. Consider alternative roles within your current industry which would utilize the industry knowledge you already have.
If you are a store manager for a large retail chain and have grown tired of the evening and weekend hours, consider a move to corporate recruiting within the retail industry.
