How To Shift Away From A Career In Sales

Simon
From Pig Breeder to Charity CEO

“I had no real interest in working for a large multinational, whose bottom line was making a profit for shareholders.”

Celia
From For-Profit to Not-For-Profit

“I was so ready to move forward, to be challenged and developed. I decided to look for an organisation who would recognise my capabilites and potential.”

Tom
Research Analyst to Social Entrepreneur

“My role was to sit with another 1,000 people and stare into a computer screen all day making money out of money for rich people.”

George Monbiot
A Career In Journalism

Business Consultant to Polar Expedition Leader

“I wanted to get out of bed on a Monday morning and really want to get stuck into the day.”

“I was a real 'staffer' in mentality and wasn't sure I'd survive in the 'big bad world'.”
