Planning a career change

  1. Open the Career-change planner (account menu).
  2. Enter the role you want to move into and, if you like, your situation — hours a week, budget, where you live.
  3. Choose your resume and click Build my plan (2 credits).

Your plan shows how ready your resume already is, the skills that carry over (with the proof from your resume), the gaps and how to close each one — with course searches on Coursera, edX and YouTube — a 30/60/90-day plan, bridge jobs to search for (one click sets up a job search), how to reframe your resume, and an answer to "Why are you changing careers?"

Common questions

Are the courses free?

Many are. The links search each site for the skill, so you can compare current options and prices. We aren't paid for any course.
