Career Change Advice
Are you struggling in your current job? Have you looked for
career change advice in all the traditional places - career
counselors, business magazines, trade journals and are still
stuck in a job you hate? Below is an easy process to get you
moving forward. How Unhappy are You on a Scale of 1-10? Most
people need to encounter significant dissatisfaction and pain in
order to step outside of their comfort zone and make changes.
What is your level of satisfaction? On a scale of 1-10 with 1
being "I can barely get out of bed in the morning" and 10 being
"I would do this work for free", what is your level of
satisfaction with your current work situation? Do I Hate the
Work Itself? If you are doing your right work, you will get
energy from your work. Helping people break free from the
corporate world gives me energy. I get off our Fearless Action
Group calls with more energy than when I started the call. I
know I have found my right work. To choose work that is aligned
with your true nature and calling, you must know who you are.
This includes an honest evaluation of your skills and aptitude.
What work do you perform naturally and effortlessly? Also, you
must know what you value and what your life purpose is. If your
work is in alignment with your natural abilities, values, and
purpose but you are still not happy, then you need to look at
your work environment. Do I Hate the Corporate World? Many of my
clients are unhappy in their current jobs because they don't fit
into the corporate world. Every company has a unique corporate
culture. You may enjoy your work and find it gives you lots of
energy, but you are not thriving in your current company. I help
my clients to diagnose their company culture and determine
whether or not they fit into this culture. Corporate culture is
a powerful and invisible force. The more that you understand how
culture influences you and those around you, the better you will
be at making informed decisions about your career. Are you
better suited to work on your own or to build a company with an
un-corporate culture? If your current level of dissatisfaction
is high and you hate the work you do, then start paying
attention to what you enjoy doing. Don't think, "I could never
make money doing this." You'll be surprised to learn what is
possible with the right intentions. If you love your work but
hate the corporate world, then put together a plan to build your
own business. Solid Career Change Advice The best career change
advice that you can get will show you how to look inside for
your own answers. You know what your perfect career is, you just
need to discover the answer inside of you. Skills assessments,
resume writing, interview coaching, and the like will not lead
you down a path to happiness. Changing careers takes courage,
inspiration, and a solid plan. Life is too short to waste it
doing work you hate.
