CAREER CHANGE IDEAS: 4 STEPS TO FINDING YOUR DREAM JOB

1. Don’t be afraid to make a mistake

Today’s career culture is not the same as it was 25 or 50 years ago. Years ago, people chose one job and stuck with it for all of their working life. Today, people change jobs three or four times during their lifetime. So if you’re not sure what you want to do, look for jobs that sound interesting. One of them could lead to your new career; if not, at least you will know what you don’t want to do.

2. Make a List of the skills you have learned

Sometimes the prospect of career change is scary and disheartening – it can make you feel like the years you’ve put into your current job were a waste. Don’t think of your current job as a waste of time; instead, look at it in terms of what you’ve learned or gained from it. Chances are, you’ve learned some important skills that you can use in your next job, no matter what that job is.

3. Be Open to Every Opportunity

You never know when opportunity is going to strike – you meet someone at a party whose career sounds interesting, stumble upon a job listing online – so it’s important to be ready to take advantage whenever it occurs. You never know how you might find your next job, so follow up on every lead that sounds interesting, no matter where it comes from.

4. Don’t Go At It Alone

After you’ve learned the ropes a bit and are off and running, remember that you still need to keep your boss actively in the loop about what you’re working on and the progress you’re making. Get an idea of how often your boss likes to be updated, both in general and when you’re working on a particular project. Does she want to debrief at weekly meetings, or would she prefer periodic emails detailing the latest updates?
