Get on the phone with them and say it seems interesting but you’d really like to explore a different role.

Think about the type of role you want + Be prepared to give examples of why you’re better suited for that

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!

Tough time getting past final step: I’ve been trying to make a career shift for 10 months now and continue to get rejected at the last step. Im confident in the value I can provide and do well at presenting it. However, once it’s comes down to me and 1-2 other candidates, I repeatedly have been turned down for the person who has more relevant experience as they’re a safer bet for the employer. Would love advice from anyone who’s dealt with this before. It’s tough to get them to take a risk on me
