Career Change

Here are the keys to successfully changing careers. Follow these career-change rules and you should achieve success in contemplating changing careers -- and in your career change.

1. Do have a well-developed plan for making your career change. And don’t rush into a career change until you have thought it out and developed a strategy.
2. Don't worry if you feel a bit insecure or unsure about making a career change; these feelings are normal.
3. Do expect to put in a great deal of time and effort in making the switch from one career to another, but don’t allow yourself to get discouraged at the pace or your progress…changing careers takes time.
4. Don't rush into a new career field because you are dissatisfied or disillusioned with your current job, boss, company, or career field.
5. Do take the time to examine the activities that you like and dislike, with more focus on your likes. And do focus on new careers that center around your likes and passions.
6. Do leverage some of your current skills and experiences to your new career by taking advantage of your transferable skills.
7. Don't limit yourself to similar careers or jobs when making a career change; look for careers that take advantage of both your skills and your interests.
8. Do gain experience in your new career field, ideally while you are still working in your current job. Volunteer or find a part-time job in your new career field -- thus building experience, confidence, and contacts in your new field.
9. Do brush up on all aspects of job-hunting, especially if you haven’t had a need to use those skills recently. And do take advantage of all career change resources.
10. Above all else, do be flexible. You’re basically starting your career anew, which means you may have to make concessions about job titles, salary, relocation, etc.
