Thinking about switching career tracks? That’s a big decision! At Labor Solutions, we are always happy to help you move from one field to another, but before you make any major changes, we suggest taking some time to ask yourself some serious questions.
What Do You REALLY Want?
Before you call Labor Solutions to start looking for a new job in a new field, consider why you are interested in changing careers in the first place. Here’s a list of questions to spark some internal dialogue that will hopefully give you some insight.
- Am I sick of my career, or sick of my job? Is it that you have come to find the work you do unfulfilling, or is it more a case of not liking the particular place where you are currently employed? This is an important distinction to make.
- What do I really need in order to be happy? What are your life goals? Do you want to make a difference socially? Is a satisfying paycheck your primary motivation? Would you rather have more time available to spend with your family? Defining what you actually want to get out of life, in general, will greatly help eliminate some potential jobs and careers.
- What skills would I need to have, or gain, to be able to switch to a certain career? Are you able and willing to pursue additional education, training, or certification if necessary for your goals? Do you have soft skills that would be transferable to a different type of job? Take inventory of your current skills and abilities and determine what areas would require improvement before you’d be qualified for a particular field.
