Why career changes stall at interview

Your CV reads like your old field, so interviewers cannot see the fit for the new one.
The hardest question is always 'why the change', and most people answer it defensively.
Transferable skills are real, but they only count if you can name them and back them with evidence.

How WorkZo helps

Get a clear, confident way to answer 'why the change' that reframes it as a strength.
See which of your past achievements map onto the new role, and how to phrase them.

FAQ

Questions we hear

How do I answer 'why are you changing careers'?+

WorkZo helps you rehearse a version that frames the change as a deliberate move toward the new role's strengths, backed by a concrete example, rather than a reason you are leaving the old one.

Will it understand my old experience?+

Yes. The interview is built from your CV, and the report shows which past achievements map onto the target role and how to phrase them for a new audience.

I do not have direct experience yet. Does that matter?+

Most changers do not. The goal is to prove transferable skills with evidence, and the tool coaches exactly that, question by question.

Can I practise for a specific job?+

Yes. Paste the job description and the interview, questions, and report are all tailored to that role.
