Changing careers requires building a support network, including not just immediate contacts but also reaching out to strangers for guidance. Making it easy for people to say yes is key in forming valuable connections. Being willing to step out of the comfort zone and initiate uncomfortable conversations can lead to critical connections that aid in the transition process.
