career changer
New field seeker
A career changer is someone who shifts from one profession or field to a substantially different one, not merely switching jobs within the same industry.
The term emphasizes intentional transition rather than circumstantial job loss: As a career changer from finance to nursing, she brought analytical skills to patient care.
Career changers often face the challenge of translating experience across fields.
