Career Change

Reasons for Change

People look for a change of career for a variety of reasons and according to Joblist’s Midlife Career Crisis Survey, the results were as follows:

  • Wanting an increase in pay: 47%
  • Existing career maybe very stressful and change is necessary for health reasons: 39%
  • To get a better work-life balance: 37%
  • New challenge: 25%
  • No longer passionate about existing career: 23%

These Are The Changes You Can Start to Make Now!

1️⃣ What Do You Like or Dislike About Your Existing Role?

List all the aspects of your existing job that you like and dislike.

2️⃣ Networking

  • Find out as much as possible about alternative careers, create a personal profile then build professional and personal contacts.
  • Ultimately your aim should be to create a network that works for you.
  • LinkedIn is particularly useful for such purposes if you need to find contacts in new career sectors.
  • Feel free to contact me (Jeff Parnell) on LinkedIn if you need my help or have any questions.

3️⃣ Examine your Values and Skills

  • Look at all your previous job roles, projects and volunteer work then identify preferred activities and skills.
  • Decide if your core values and skills match your current career.

4️⃣ How to Get New Skills?

  • Online courses –  Often perfect because you may well be in a situation where you’re looking for career change but need to continue with your existing job until you’ve sealed the deal.

They give you that flexibility to learn at your own pace.

  • Certification courses – They help to put you in the frame when it comes to being considered for a role.
  • Join Networking and Professional Groups – This in itself can open up many opportunities.
  • Find a Mentor – They can help you to unlock opportunities, provide chances to work with a role model or letting you benefit from the mistakes and successes of others who’ve been in your shoes.
  • Volunteering – Enables you to gain new skills and experience

5️⃣ Consider Alternative Careers

  • Discuss core values and skills with friends, family and networking contacts.
  • Get professional advice from a career counsellor if necessary.

6️⃣ Look at Various Job Options

Compare different jobs across several fields then compile a shortlist.

7️⃣ Turn Difficulties to Your Advantage

  • When you get into a position where you’ve secured an interview in your new chosen career path, the recruiter or employer will want to know why they should take you on.
  • Tell them about your plan and how you executed it.
  • Outline the work that you’ve done to build new networks.
  • Tell them how you gained your new skills and experience.
  • Tell them about your transferrable skills and how they would work for their organisation.
