Top 6 Tips For Career Change
The clearer you are about what you want, the easier it will be to go after it. Identify the qualities that are essential for your career satisfaction, then look for a position where you will find those qualities.
Know what you bring to a potential employer or position. Gather information about what makes you unique and valuable.
Our egos, or inner critical voice, always tell us to go for the money, status, that we aren’t qualified, we couldn’t really do that, that we should please our parents or others. It is important to learn to tune out this voice, and listen to what you truly want.
Determine the maximum commute, and realistic minimum salary you need when looking for your next position. Create a budget that will reflect your priorities.
Many people do not find their jobs through employment ads. People are most likely to find their next position though networking, on-line social networking sites like LinkedIn, and informational interviewing. There are a variety of methods to increase your skills in these areas, coaching being one of the most effective ways.
If unemployed, create a supportive network to keep you focused on your talents and strengths. Keep your motivation active, and your skills current by joining comittees, or volunteering in civic or political arenas. Act on positive feedback from others to improve your written and oral presentations.
