Career change: what, where, how?
It happens that in the usual field younotice the lack of further development, irritation of colleagues and management, as well as apathy to fulfill the usual duties. This may indicate the need to change its field of activity.
How to understand that you need to radically change something? How to find work from direct employers?
This will help a simple experiment.Take a break for at least a week: get out, completely abandoning work mail, phones and other familiar means of communication. And after that, weigh your emotions. If you are drawn back to duty, then you just needed to rest. Perhaps you will feel that you would like to work in another team or, for example, in another company, doing the same job.
If you are oppressed only by the thought of returning to the performance of professional duties, it's time to think about radical changes.
Where to begin?
Resume analysis
Study your resume and determine where you can apply your professional skills.
Choosing a new sphere
Choose the sphere that attracts you. Then find a few people who are associated with it. Having communicated with them, you can understand, whether all so is attractive, as it seems to you.
If you can not decide on the choice of the industry, push away from such questions:
What can you do for people? Sometimes the answer to this question is simpler than deciding what can be done for yourself.
How do you ideally see your day as an ideal? The way you want to build your working hours can be much more important than illusions about some pathos.
What would you absolutely not like?Sometimes it is much easier to answer the question of what a person does not want, than to decide on one's desires. Perhaps you are just like that. Answer yourself to the question that is unacceptable for you in future work.
Search for referees
If you radically change the type of work, directthe employer and recruitment agencies will look with caution at your candidacy, due to a lack of experience in a particular field. The correct recommendations help in solving this problem. Also, to the resume sent to the desired vacancy, it is important to attach a cover letter, where your professional skills will be specified, which can be applied in the chosen industry.
It should be understood that the change in the scope of activity- the process is not fast, and takes, as a rule, at least six months. Also prepare morally to the fact that at first you will have to gain skills, so work is not excluded as an assistant specialist. This will also cause a possible decrease in the usual income, but if you made the right choice, you quickly catch up.
