Steps to Career Assessment and Career Change

We are cut out to succeed in more than one career. People presently in their 20's and 30's may have two or three careers in a lifetime of work, and possibly more than a dozen jobs.

No matter what stage of life you are at, if you do not get pleasure from your work at least 80% of the time, perhaps it is time for self assessment, career assessment, and, possibly, to seek a new career.

Your hobbies and volunteer work provide some clues about a new profession you would enjoy. You can gain a great deal by reading books and possibly taking on-line tests. However, for maximum effectiveness, seeking the services of a competent career counselor or career coach is a wise move.

I agree, changing careers can be a fantastic move but it is hard for a lot of people to make the jump. If you are in a state of mind where its been hard for you to decide, it could be a wise decision to contact a Personal Coach. He/she would properly guide you, after that you may find yourself in a better position to make a decision about your career change..
