It is hard to overstate this, if I see someone with 10 years in one career path then suddenly swaps to something completely unrelated a few things cross my mind. 1. It means that this person is unlikely to be willing to let me leverage their previous skillset, as they obviously don't want to use it. 2. If I have to discount 10 years of work experience, is this person still a viable candidate? 3. Any references from their last career have to be vetted, as I doubt that they were really their supervisor (not thinking about this cost me once) Generally I try to just judge the person as raw potential and see if they are suitable to learn the skills that I will need them to be effective. Having said this, if they were a retail manager, and wanted to move into it management (pure people management) I would consider those skills transferable, some things don't change that much really.
