Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Pursuing a New Career

Imposter syndrome can arise when starting something new, feeling unqualified or behind compared to perceived standards. However, past experiences and skills can contribute to success in a new career path. While starting from scratch in some fields would require going from position zero, leveraging existing skills can help overcome feelings of being an imposter. Recognizing qualifications and strengths acquired from previous endeavors can mitigate imposter syndrome and provide a foundation for pursuing a new career.
