The P.I.V.O.T. Framework: Your Roadmap to Career Transition Success

From confusion to clarity, this 5-step framework helps you strategically navigate your career pivot. Let’s be honest—career pivots can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’ve spent hours scrolling job boards, tweaking your resume, or overthinking your next move, but nothing seems to stick. Sound familiar?

Here’s the truth: without a clear plan, even the most motivated career changers end up stuck. That’s why I created the P.I.V.O.T. Framework—a step-by-step strategy that guides you through the process of moving from stuck to strategic, one intentional action at a time.

What is the P.I.V.O.T. Framework?

The P.I.V.O.T. Framework is your playbook for a career pivot that doesn’t just get you to the next job—it gets you to the right job. Each step is designed to build on the last, creating a seamless transition from identifying your strengths to confidently stepping into your new role.

Here’s a high-level overview of the framework:

• P - Personal Assessment
  Start by clarifying your skills, strengths, and career vision. This step helps you identify what you bring to the table and where you want to go.
• I - Investigate & Choose a Target Role
  Narrow your focus to a single target role or function. When you know exactly what you’re aiming for, every move becomes more intentional.
• V - Value Proposition Rebrand
  Update your professional profile—think resume, LinkedIn, and even your elevator pitch—to align with your new target role. 
• O - Outreach & Network Engagement
  Build relationships in your target industry. Networking isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a game-changer when done right and frankly, non-negotiable for career-changers. 
• T - Tactical Applications
  Go beyond the basics of applying (no more Easy Apply) and use alternative strategies to maximize your visibility and get attention from hiring teams by doing things that no one else is willing to do. Things like reaching out to hiring teams directly, sending intro videos, or outright asking for the interview. Be bold! 

Why the Framework Works

The magic of the P.I.V.O.T. Framework lies in its order. Each step sets the foundation for the next, creating a flow that makes your efforts more effective:

• You can’t network effectively without a polished LinkedIn profile.
• You can’t effectively update your LinkedIn without knowing your target role.
• And you can’t choose the right role until you know what truly lights you up.

Every piece builds on the last, ensuring that by the time you’re applying, you’re not just throwing spaghetti at the wall—you’re targeting opportunities with precision. Ready. Aim. Fire. 

What Makes the P.I.V.O.T. Framework Different?

Unlike other career strategies that feel like vague advice, this framework is structured, actionable, and designed for ambitious career pivoters like you. It’s designed for more than just getting your next gig.

This job search thing is ALOT of work so why would you not use a strategy that is going to eliminate guesswork and keep you from ending up in yet another dead-end situation that is not with your skills, values, and goals? 

And the best part? You don’t need to figure it out alone. With tools like the Pivot Playbook Course-Kit (coming soon), you’ll have the guidance you need to implement each step with confidence and clarity.
