Mid-career change. Please help. In or around West Coast of USA?



I have over 15 years of experience in Product Management and Marketing in the IT Telecommunication industry. I am trying to transition my experience into other industries to apply my extensive experience without any success. Cannot find a decent job, offers are mostly commission based in the financial and insurance sector which I am not interested in. Comfortable with salary pay plan possibly in the manufacturing of electronics products or software. Any advice?

When we find ourselves in this situation we have to plan our career. Career planning is a deliberate process of knowing WHO we are so that we can be sure WHERE we want to go or WHAT we want to be at some defined point in the future.

Here are some sites, which can help you plan your career.
