How would you explain in a cover letter your desire to change careers from one industry to another?
I currently work in the pharmaceutical industry as a director of marketing and would like to apply for a position as a director of marking in the entertainment industry (specifically movie theater chain promotions). Any ideas for explaining this transition?How would you explain in a cover letter your desire to change careers from one industry to another?
you can apply what you have learned already to scenerios that may occur in the entertainment industry. Basically present the skills and achievements you made so far that they show potential in the industry you would like switch to.

How to change careers from a pharmacists to anesthesiologist?
Well, you're either a) getting a Pharmacy degree or b) graduated with one.
So if you don't have the degree yet, finish it (with awesome marks, hopefully.) Make sure that you have the medical school prerequisites for the country you're applying in.
If you do have the degree, then buy a copy of your transcript from your University and find out what classes you might need before you apply to medical school.
If you have them all, then you can apply. The organization you apply to differs from country to country.
After you graduate from medical school (hopefully with awesome marks again) then you can apply to an Anesthesiologist residency (which is like an apprenticeship) and get trained in the field.

Career change: how do I get into magazine editing? I have a finance background.?
I have been thinking recently of a career change. I graduated with a Business %26amp; French degee and have been working for the last two years in finance. I live in London and would love to get into magazine editing. I think I'm much better with words than numbers! Where would I even begin to find a way to get into the industry?
Prefereably I'd love to get into fashion / lifestyle magazine work but I am clueless as to where I'd start. How does one build their way up in such an industry?
Am I at a total disadvantage with 2 years finance experience?Career change: how do I get into magazine editing? I have a finance background.?
I put 'magazine editing' into the search bar and there are a few sites you could look at and books about it you could buy.I would imagine a grounding in journalism would help.My son is a graphic designer for a magazine publisher and loves his job.Career change: how do I get into magazine editing? I have a finance background.?
I suggest shadowing workers on magazine editing. Therefore ur'll get alot of experience and one of them may even take you up. Also u culd go bk to skool and take a media course. That wuld help alot to.

Is 23 too old for a career change?
I did a university course in biology and just finished it with a 2.1 I don't think I want to go into a career in science any more. During my time spent there I've had a lot of opportunity to think about my life and I'd really like to become a car mechanic. The problem is I don't know how to start. Is 23 too late to get an apprenticeship if I find a dealership?Is 23 too old for a career change?
I don't think you're too old. What you may want to consider/look into is taking some community college courses on auto repair/mechanics. It may help give you a boost while you are looking for apprenticeships at dealerships or garages. Sometimes you can even earn apprenticeships through the courses. Good luck!Is 23 too old for a career change?
Absolutely not too late! Go for it and good luck.
You can take a course while you are still working. The hard thing after is to get a job. There are so many makes it would a good idea to specialise ie; ford vauxhall etc. Dave
Absolutely not a lot of tradespeople I know started in in their twenties. I know an auto mechanic who has had baad experiences with apprentices screwing him around. If you're smart and willing to learn, you shouldn't have too much trouble. My advice is, if you want to become an auto mechanic is find a smaller shop. It will give you more hands-on opportunities to learn. The mechanic I know just has his own shop with three apprentices or former apprentices (including a 25-year-old girl who just got her papers!). Just acknowledge that the pay will suck for a while and you won't be licensed until you're about 28. Auto mechanic apprenticeship programs usually have a classroom component, so talk to your local college (in Canada) or trade school (in the US)
Lol. Hardly. I changed careers at 32. Very successfully too. 23 is a BABY! I only started uni at that age!
if it's what you want to do, go for it
I'm 21 and I'm still in college trying to decide what i want to major in, but I've found a great way to make money fast. Work from home marketing products online It's worked for me. Check out this link and watch the video it's risk free.

Good luck!
23 is not late at all.
Ask yourself the question why would you like to become a mechanic? Just to make sure that you are spending your energy on chasing the right career, why not ask a local mechanic if you can help out for a while to make sure that this is the career for you. Even though you would be working for free, it would be time very well spent as it would mean that you now KNOW instead of just think that this career is right for you.
no not at all its all just begining for me
