The First Step to Successful Mid-Career Transitions When you are a mid-management or senior professional, the transition to a new job is more likely if it's based on careful job selection. It means more than going for jobs on your wish-list, tweaking your resume and following up to see if your profile is on the interview shortlist.         The starting point for a successful transition is: identifying the right jobs with a 'high fitment' to your profile (and not the jobs that you want). Job fitment means that you should meet at least 3 of the top 5 criteria in the checklist that employers usually have in mind, within the +/- range that they use. Step back and check: Experience: Does your total experience fall in a band that is +/- 20% of the requirement? This one is usually not negotiable... Education: Qualifications are important for jobs that require up to 10-12 years experience. For more senior roles, this could be flexible. Salary: If salary is disclosed, a 20-25% increase in your current CTC should take you to the salary on offer. Location: Are you based in the same city as the position on offer? Or, if not, is it clear you want to relocate - if necessary, at your own expense? Domain expertise: Does the job specify that the applicant should have experience in specific domains or specialist skills? Do you qualify? Employers will only consider an application that meets their job fitment checklist. Use these criteria to evaluate your profile and give yourself the best chance of making the interview shortlist!   On HeadHonchos.com... the job search portal for senior professionals, in addition to regular job alerts, we send you Job Recommendations, high-fitment jobs based on expert matching of your profile to the role requirements.
