Credentials? What credentials? Are the credentials licensing, like being a CPA or a general contractor where you have to have formal licensing as required by law? If that is the case, then it is a process to got through and it will take time.
However, if you are talking about experience being your credentials, you have to start at the ground floor like anyone else and work your way up.
Experience never stopped me ever. I just read like hell to get all the top quality knowledge that I can, and then move forward. Unless there is formal licensing restrictions, I doubt there's a single arena I can't get a job in.
As an example, I did insurance and has zero experience. I got a job with an agency doing non-licensing work, and after 3 months I talked to the person in charge, spent 4 months studying, and passed 2 licensing exams. I studied hard. There's a 60% fail rate, and you only need to get 60% correct answers, and I passed on my first try. There are others at my office that took 8 and 10 times to pass that licensing exam.
You are letting false walls block you. Don't worry about credentials. Figure out what you want to do, then make it happen.
But I have for sure built up a LOT of experience by doing different things, because I just went out and did them and didn't let anything stop me. I'm 60-years-old and have no problems learning and getting a job in anything. I have zero experience in, oh, supply chains. But if I set my mind to it, I'll get a job in supply chains in 3 to 6 months time. Name anything that doesn't require a license, like a dentist or whatever, and I'll get a job in it.
