Here is a scenario from one of my colleagues in the career niche, Chris Russell of Secrets of the Job Search. “One of my best friends is going through a job search right now. He is a smart guy with an MBA who’s not even 40 years old yet in the financial management industry. His biggest challenge seems to be that most jobs he sees always have one little requirement he cant meet. The old “experience working in [insert industry here] is required“. What ever happened to transferable skills? Why are employers so adamant about only wanting candidates who work in their industry? Its especially frustrating for him since he is a Finance Manager which almost every major company is hiring for.
