Hello Nancy,
Career transitions can be challenging, especially if it is moving into a somewhat different field. This question is really somewhat outside of the purpose of the Community Tool Box, but I will offer a couple of tips:
1. Set up informational interviews and networking visits with individuals who work at the types of organizations that are of interest to you. Have some questions prepared - such as what are skills they are looking for, how to find opportunities, and what might make you a stronger candidate.
2. Before you talk with anyone, read the job descriptions you can find and see how your skills/expertise match them, and what value you can bring to their organizations.
It's mostly about networking, doing a lot of homework, and then convincing them that you have something to offer.
Good luck to you!
