| The number one reason for career change is the sense of not feeling valued. Before leaving the current role, be sure to check that you gain what you want. Once you decide, there is a clear set of activities to follow to realise your hopes and dreams. |
| Changing career is not easy but it can be very satisfactory and worthwhile from both a personal and financial perspective. It is about you and what you want to do with your life. Do you value who you are and what you do? Do you think you are worth it? |
| Whilst the outcomes differ and success cannot be assured, follow this process to help you through that change. |
- Decide to look at career change - Can be a difficult step but what do you loose by looking at change? The risk of not doing it can be worse than the potential loss of investment made by looking into it.
- Look at your motivations - Are you just looking to change job or change career. Job hoping can be done in the usual way but career change requires more work. Job hoppers can also gain from the career change process.
- Look at yourself - A simple analysis of who you are and what you want to achieve will help with the decision making process.
- Develop an action plan - Analysis is good but you need to act on it. Draw up a plan and then implement it.
- Decide to act - The hardest part. Get help from friends if needed.
- Consistency and persistency - Making a change requires you to continue the change. It is all about not being put-off. Change requires consistency and persistency. You can do it.
- Review - A change of approach may be required but keep at it.
- Success - Enjoy the rewards and success of your change.
