Is a career change possible for me?

There is nothing like a Monday morning for making us question our decisions. Back to work, same old routine, same old challenges or set of problems, no change, no prospects.

Is a Career Change Possible for me?

For many a question that crosses our mind from time to time is ‘am I in the right job?‘ Are you stuck in a rut? If your current career is leaving you bored, empty, worn out or unsatisfied? Then maybe so, or are you stuck in a job that isn’t you? Do you have the irrepressible feeling that your talents and abilities could and should be used in a different (more creative and impacting) way? It may be time for a career change. But where do you even start? Over the years, we have seen so many things change and education and careers is something that has most definitely changed and for the better. Unlike our parents and grandparents’ generations, when a job was more often than not ‘for life’, it’s de rigeur these days to change career often, more than once. But what does it take to make that leap?

Early decisions

It is not uncommon to discover that our first or our early career choices are not our best decisions. We usually do not have enough information at an earlier stage in our work life, but with help, perhaps some re-training or experience this can be easily remedied. Considering a career change is perhaps one of the most daunting aspects of working life. With so many things to cogitate and focus on when considering a career change it can be tricky to know where to start. You should also prepare yourself for being unemployed for a spell. This can be tough on your mental health, but these tips for creating a routine when unemployed could help you during a tricky period.
