30/60/90-day action plan

Small, testable steps before you commit to a bigger career move.

First 30 days

Map your transferable evidence

Turn the overlap between these roles into a practical evidence list you can use in conversations, applications, or an internal move.

• Write one example for each shared cluster: Data, analytics, and databases, Digital technologies and electronics, and Records, documentation, reports and research.
• Collect measurable outcomes, tools used, stakeholders supported, and problems solved.
• Read current Advertising and Marketing Professionals job ads and highlight repeated requirements.

Days 31–60

Build the missing signals

Focus on low-risk proof points: short projects, targeted learning, shadowing, or portfolio evidence before making a major move.

• Choose one target task to practise first: Planning, developing and organising advertising policies and campaigns to support sales objectives.
• Fill any qualification, licence, tool, or domain gaps that appear repeatedly across target-role ads.
• Ask someone in the target field to review your evidence list and identify the weakest claim.

Days 61–90

Test the transition in the market

Validate whether the path works before committing: run small applications, networking conversations, or internal project trials.

• Create a Advertising and Marketing Professionals-oriented CV version that reframes your Actuaries, Mathematicians and Statisticians experience around target outcomes.
• Apply for a small batch of adjacent roles or internal opportunities and track response quality.
• If responses are weak, revisit the highest-frequency requirement you cannot yet evidence.
