With over 5 years of experience in modeling and commercials, I'm looking forward to new opportunities in digital media. I always believe that it's never too late to start. Any tips for people transitioning from a career in entertainment to another like myself?

First and foremost, always keep a positive attitude, and stay humble. No one knows everything, so be open to learning new things. Secondly, get involved in as many different activities as possible. This will help you to become well-rounded and increase your chances of finding success in whatever field you may choose. Finally, network as much as possible. Meeting people is key to finding new opportunities.

I would recommend always staying up-to-date with the latest trends in the industry you want to transition to and networking as much as possible. It's also important to be passionate about your work, and to be a good team player.

If you can, grab any and every opportunity to learn. Attend events related to your field and start networking yourself. Be involved with things that are happening in the industry that could be beneficial for your title.

You can get certifications to help you break into another industry. You need to remember that competition is tough in every industry. I'd say focus on making connections as early as possible.

I have a face to face interview tomorrow and was wondering what the thoughts were wearing a nice knitted sweater instead of a blazer for an interview. My blazers don’t quite fit anymore and it’s not in my budget to buy a new blazer. I have one in mind that’s a turtleneck and can be styled with dress pants nicely. Either that or a cardigan….
