Claire gives Katie tips on how to frame her experience to show that her skills really are transferable and that the learning curve will be minimal. Claire also shares strategies around how to be more creative in finding new opportunities.

I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some Money Rehab.
Money Rehab Hi, I'm Claire Wasserman, the founder and author of Ladies Get Paid, a coaching practice newsletter and podcast dedicated to helping women embrace their worth inside and out. I'm so honored to be guest hosting for Nicole while she's out on maternity leave, although a bit of a heads up that
My hosting, it's slightly different because instead of interviewing my guests, I'm actually coaching them. They'll be calling in cameras off just to protect their identity so that they feel as comfortable as possible to share. That's because I believe that transparency is transformative. And when you can see yourself in someone else's journey differently,
you realize that you're just a little less alone. So today's guest is Katie, who wants to pivot from being a nurse to going into the tech healthcare field. But she's feeling really demoralized because even though she's getting past a couple of rounds of interviews, they keep telling her that they're going with candidates that have, quote, more traditional experience. I know how that feels.
So I give her tips on how to tell her story in a more compelling way, that her skills really are transferable, and that the learning curve will be minimal. I also talked to her about how she can kind of broaden the field of where she's applying to, how to be more creative and more strategic in doing research on what companies are out there.
This is really good for somebody who maybe is considering a career pivot or someone who's in the throes of the job search and is just getting demoralized. Don't worry, I got you. Hey, Katie, thanks so much for joining us today on the podcast. If you can give me some more context to what you're going through and how I can best support you, let's get started.
Of course. So my name is Katie and I'm a nurse and I've been working as a nurse manager for the past nine years or so. And I've mostly worked in healthcare, obviously, because it's the most easy profession and field to get into with a background as a nurse. But I'd really love to move into more of a tech role in like healthcare tech companies.
