When you apply for a new position in a new field, it’s important to have confidence in the assessment of the key decision-makers who selected you.
While you may be unsure about how transferable your skills are, they should have a better understanding about the skills you have that they need.
Basically, don’t second-guess their judgement. If they think you have what it takes to succeed, then understand from them what they see in you, rather than thinking you don’t have what it takes.
