Common mistakes to avoid

• Apologizing for or hiding your past experience instead of actively highlighting how those transferable skills solve current problems.
• Using overly technical jargon from your old industry that confuses your new target audience and dilutes your message.
• Posting sporadically or ghosting your network instead of maintaining the consistent rhythm required to build trust in a new space.
• Focusing purely on consuming content and forgetting to actively engage with the people who comment on your own posts.
