Miserable At Work? How To Make A Career Change
Changing careers
Time to give serious thought to this life-shaping question: What exactly are you going to do with the rest of your li...
Start with honest self-assessment
- Analyze your current skill set, training level, and accomplishments to date.
- Write down the aspects of the work you liked and what tasks or things you disliked.
- Explore different career options. Investigate new fields, industries and potential careers.
- Interview individuals who work at those types of jobs, or in fields of interest to you.
- Look at growth opportunities, salaries, benefits, education level and then determine the job title to target.
Change from careers
- Use your transferable skills. You have acquired abilities from previous positions.
- Use your strengths. Incorporate your talents into any position you choose to go after.
- Get new skills. Study the industry you want to enter. Take some courses so you can more quickly enter the field.
- Many people prevent their own success. They find excuses, or blame others, for their own failures or mistakes instead of learning and improving from them.

- Thinking creatively: The ability to offer new thoughts on subject areas that others have not considered.

How to Pick a Career (That Actually Fits You) - Wait But Why
The Real Career Landscape
The career pitfall
Today’s career landscape isn’t a lineup of tunnels, it’s a massive, impossibly complex, rapidly changing science laboratory.
Why Career-path-carving is important.
Time. A typical career will take up somewhere between 20% and 60% of your meaningful adult time.
Quality of Life. Your career has a major effect on all your non-career hours.
Impact. Whatever shape your career path ends up taking, the world will be altered by it.
Identity. We tell people about our careers by telling them what we are.
