Hi, I'm Sarah and this is the Squiggly Careers podcast. This week is one of our Ask the Expert episodes

and you're going to hear me in conversation with April Rini on career change. And I know career change

from personal experience can often feel scary, intimidating, exciting, overwhelming,

lots of emotions to grapple with all at the same time.

It can also feel hard, I think, to practically figure out how to make it happen.

So even if you're really motivated by the change you want to make,

you then think, well, what does it look like to make this move?

So together with April, I explore three key themes.

Firstly, zooming out, what do we need to unlearn and relearn if we want to make a change?

And I think just generally get better at navigating change in our squiggly careers.

Then we go on to talk about some of the skills that you can

develop to support you to change in a way that works for you. And lots of things that she talks about

are very relatable for me, things that perhaps I wish I'd done sooner when I was making career

change or things that worked. And we finished by discussing April's practical experiences as she's made a number of career

changes herself and what she's learned along the way.

And I particularly enjoyed that part of the conversation.

I think it was just really nice to hear her stories, just what supported her to sort of

navigate her squiggle and to sort of create this portfolio approach to her career.

So whether you're already in the midst of career change right now or maybe it's just a seed

of an idea that you're intrigued by, I hope you find the episode with April really useful

and I'll be back at the end to say goodbye.

April, thank you so much for joining us on the Squiggly Careers podcast.
