Career Transition

Do I want a career change or just a new job?

Reflect on whether you are happy with your current career path or if you want to make a significant change.

Do I understand what is involved in switching to this new career?

Do your research and learn as much as you can about the new career you are considering. This includes understanding the required skills, education, and experience, as well as the job market and potential salary.

Do I know someone of my experience, skills, and abilities who successfully transitioned to this new career?

Talking to someone who has already made the career change you are considering can be a great way to get insights and advice. They can tell you about their own experiences, challenges, and successes.

Am I willing to invest in myself financially and time-wise to make this career change happen?

This question is important to ask yourself because it is essential to have the resources and time commitment necessary to make a  successful career change. Acquiring new skills can take time and money, so it is important to be prepared for that.

Have I sufficiently discussed the matter with my family?

Making a career change can have a big impact on your family, so it is important to talk to them about your plans and get their support. Discuss how the career change will affect your finances, lifestyle, and schedule.
