Not happy in your current job? Thinking of making a career change? Dynamic lifestyles and an uncertain economy are just two of many reasons to consider a new employment, or even a completely different from what you are now. Trust me; as a career consultant who has helped many people reinvent themselves professionally, I can assure you that you are not alone!
Perhaps you've seen some layoffs at your company and "fear factor" you are looking for alternative options and they want more satisfaction out of your work. Maybe you need a more flexible work situation, which optimizes the balance between home and career more effectively. Whatever the circumstance, one thing is for sure: you're unhappy or unstable in your current job and you want to do something about it.
When you start getting the itch, it's time to make an assessment and begin to set up the first goal. You might ask, are you really ready for a career transition? How can I best prepare myself for a change? But even before you explore the components of a satisfying career, it helps immensely to cultivate a healthy and positive mental Outlook. People who have managed to make a change are those that are willing to overcome their fears, doubts and insecurities to make it happen. You, too, can be one of these people ...
Keep these tips in mind before preliminary forging ahead on your journey toward a more fulfilling and rewarding career!
1. undertake to make a change.
Something that is incredibly important for any changes in your life is your level of commitment. You need to be committed. Engaged as you are looking for a career that fits, on a scale of 1-10? If there is a 10, what you must do to move it up the ladder? Now is the time to ask key questions. Do your research, so you know what questions to keep in mind. Contact a career expert who can help you become Misano with your goals and dreams. Explore career websites. Take the personality test. You will find that the more time you invest in career prospects and self-discovery, more committed to the cause will become.
2. learn to overcome obstacles.
To succeed in changing career paths, you must learn to overcome the obstacles encountered along the way. The obstacles that I see from time to time for people who want to make a career change are: not knowing what to look for in a job (so take one that is "good enough" that really don't enjoy) and negative beliefs-disbelieving that can make the change. With practice, can retrain your mind to see the past perceived limitations, which are only a figment of your imagination anyway! With enough self-exploration, you'll be able to locate the exact quality of the ideal career for you ... and also the features that you do not want in a career.
3. Get support.
I was able to do with great success on my coaching career step largely because of my coach. She helped me create my plan, remain positive, go ahead, identify what I wanted to do and learn how to overcome obstacles. I'm being honest when I say: it really helps to have the support of a group or a coach to remind you to stay positive and focused. Contact details are below, if you would like more information from me.
4. Claim your life.
My final thought for you ... is to claim your life. There is never a perfect time to make a drastic career change, and you can always come up with reasons and excuses not to do so. You must take some kind of risk and perhaps a step out of your comfort zone. The key is to minimize the risk and be smart about it. Get support from a career coach like me or someone else who can provide solid guidance and resources, it is necessary to move forward with your plans.
