It is strange when recruiters ask, what do you look for in yr next career or what type of roles are you looking for?
If we have 0 experience in the roles we fancy, the company won’t even bother to interview us.
It always has to be somewhat related to what we did before....it’s difficult to branch out.

Same person.
I feel that the description written by HR is chronically outdated and up to 50% inaccurate most of the jobs I interviewed. Most bosses CMI at crafting job scope. Sometimes I feel they just want a slave to solve problems, sometimes any problem... Especially in Korean and Japanese companies...
All our ministers are Jack of all trades master of none. They are not master of all trades, they just happen to have a boss who quickly sweep all the dirt under the rug and glorify the end result. Yet if we are not heavily specialized, no interview. I guess this is called 'being groomed' in contrast to 'farmer'. Notice the work adapt grow thing... They didn't say branch out and get good skills to add to your portfolio ... They say switch field means from zero.
Branching out, is often seen as a problem especially deadweight senior HR. If I have 5 years as HR and 5 years as Finance, hiring manager looks at my profile like... "Why u cannot decide... Why u hop here n there... I can only pay u for relevant experience means.... 5 years worth instead of 10" . Severe tunnel vision. Branching is only ideal if u know, your boss likes you and ask you to consider picking relevant skills as a promise for promotion.
