Career Change Are you thinking of a career change? Think this through. What does the new career have in common with your current career? Why are you considering the change? Does your personality fit the change? What are the potential benefits? What is the downside? Will you be happier in another career? What is really driving you? Have you consulted family or friends about this change?

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learnt in 9 years of my career is that if you are enjoying your work, then others would also love to work with you. Go for work you like, create your own niche if it doesn't exist, and watch your career get an upward spike (eventually) 🤗 I have distilled this down sharing my own weird career story, for everyone who wants an unconventional career.

If you’re considering a career change, it’s important to get clear on your decision first. Understanding why you want to make a change is the foundation of a successful and fulfilling transition. Start by reflecting on these three key questions to help you gain clarity on your motivations and goals:

Have you ever thought about a significant career change? I'm sure many of you have considered it at some point. But have you ever paused to ask yourself if you actually need it? Sometimes, the answer can be surprising. It's worth reflecting on what truly drives your desire for change and whether it's the right move for you. #CareerChange #SelfReflection #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment https://lnkd.in/e55vdYAQ

Here are some signs that a career shift might be calling: ✔️ You feel disconnected or unmotivated in your current role ✔️ You’re constantly daydreaming about other fields or roles ✔️ You feel you've hit a ceiling and are unchallenged or stagnant in your current role A career change can feel daunting, but it’s often the first step toward renewed purpose and fulfilment. Take the leap, and remember, the best time to grow is now. 🌱

Dear Career Person, Know your big picture. With that known, define your path to achieve that big picture. Sometimes taking a lower-paying job may not make sense to others, but could be the best approach… Sometimes dropping everything to start afresh in a new career path may not make sense to others but could be the best approach… Sometimes taking a job lower in rank may not make sense to others but could be the best approach… Sometimes enduring a very tough manager may not make sense to others but could be the best approach… The truth is, there’s never a definitive path to career success. Explore your own and stick to it. Benchmark others but don’t copy-paste them. Don’t do what makes sense to others, do what makes sense to yourself. Regards Been There, Seen That. 😊

We’re often told it’s wrong to start over, fail, or feel lost. However, these 10 traps can be far more detrimental: - Playing it too safe - Staying because it’s easy - Being afraid to negotiate - Believing talent is enough - Ignoring the bigger picture - Living other peoples’ dreams - Waiting for the perfect moment - Assuming everyone is your friend - Thinking hard work speaks for itself - Relying on others to drive your career Remember, you don’t owe anyone an explanation. Your career should grow with you. Be bold enough to take control. What’s the hardest career trap you’ve broken free from? ♻️ Repost to help others avoid these traps.

Embrace the transition of in career. Transitions are a part of life. We transition from different ages. We transition as we grow and learn. We transition childhood to adulthood. We face transitions through our life experiences. Life is full of transitions. So why do people struggle with struggle with making career transitions? Career transitions, just like any other transition is a process. It includes preparation, a process, challenges, growth, willingness to learn, getting past your comfort zone, and confronting your fears. When ever you want to make a career transition it will be uncertainty that you must be willing to face. Accept the process that will help you grow into the desired career you want.

7 Signs It’s Time for a Career Change 1. Your work feels meaningless: ↳ You no longer find your tasks rewarding or motivating. 2. You've outgrown your role: ↳ You've mastered your current job, and there’s no room for progression. 3. You're not reaching your full potential: ↳ You know you can achieve more, but your job is holding you back. 4. Sunday night dread: ↳ You feel anxious or uneasy as the weekend comes to an end. 5. You're disengaged: ↳ You’ve lost interest in your work and feel disconnected. 6. You often imagine a new career: ↳ You regularly think about a more fulfilling job. 7. You feel overlooked: ↳ Your contributions go unnoticed, and your value isn't recognised. Don’t stay in a job that doesn’t satisfy you. Life's too short not to make the most of your potential.

Is your career making you miserable? Are you thinking about a change? Before you start scouring the job pages and sending off a flurry of applications, here’s some advice I give to my clients.   We can’t separate ourselves from the work that we do. Our careers are deeply entwined with who we are: our sense of self, our emotions, our beliefs, values and personal lives. So take some time to reconnect with yourself:   💠 What do you really want in your work?   💠 What do you need more of?   💠 Who are you right now - and what’s driving you at this point in your career?   This period of self-reflection is so important. It provides a strong foundation for making a positive change – rather than dashing headlong into something that pays the bills but may not lead to a happy and fulfilled career. If you have a story about how you made a positive career change, please share it in the comments below. I’d love to hear it!
