As someone who's done a couple of pretty substantial career shifts, I'd recommend prof Herminia Ibarra's book 'Working Identity'. She has some excellent advice on how to shift careers, and also how weird and disorienting it feels whilst you're doing it.

It might be worth having a read of your examiners pubs. There may be a hobby horse they want to ride and you can prepare for it.
