Career Change Jobs in Austria: Find a Path
You want to work in a new field. Your old job may have taught skills that fit new roles too. Make a clear plan before you move.
Changing jobs can mean new tasks, hours or travel. But some of your skills can help in more than one field. Find roles that need them.
Three steps you can take
2
Show skills that travel
If you planned work, helped clients or used data, give one real example. Explain how it fits the new role.
3
Check if a course is needed
Some roles need a set licence or award. Ask the firm or a trusted advice service before you pay for training.
What matters in your job market
The AMS offers information on jobs and training in Austria. Look in your own federal state and in areas you can reach.
Changing fields is easier to plan when you can see which skills carry over. Compare several Austrian job adverts, then list tasks you have already done. A past role in service, trade or office work may help with a different job. Check if the new role needs a licence, a course or a set award. The AMS can provide information on work and training options. Your TalentCard should show what you know today and what you hope to do next.

One common question
Will I need to start from zero?
Not always. A new job can use old skills. Be clear about what you know and what is still new to you.
Show your skills with TalentCard
TalentCard puts work history and transferable skills on a page a new employer can read.
A TalentCard does not promise a job. Employers and search services make their own decisions.
