Most people on average will change career at some point in their career. A career offers an outlet for people to exhibit their creativity, aptitude, skills and innermost values. Therefore a career is a mirror of a person’s personality. People are most happy and fulfilled within careers that match their personality. Choosing a career therefore should be done with careful deliberation and thought.

A good starting point before deciding the career that is right for you is to consider the things you like doing, things which you do as a hobby. Ask yourself what you would like to spend your time doing if you did not have financial constraints. If you are unsure, there are online personality tests available which offer uncannily accurate reports of individual personality types.

Research Career

Start by researching the leading employers in the field of interest, look for indication of career prospects, conditions, pay and other factors which you consider important. To get a balanced appraisal it is best to compare information from industry sources as well as independent Try to get information from both industry related sources as well as independent sources in order to get a balance view.

What are your transferable skills

People often overlook skills which they already possess that can be extremely useful, if not vital in other fields. Such skills include self discipline, ability to adapt and work well within teams, strong motivation; ability to communicate at all levels as well as leadership and organizational skills. You not realise it but most of the skills you will require to excel within a given field may already have been acquired, learned or may even be innate within you.

Other important factors to consider include:

• Qualification & training
  You may need to gain qualification within the field you wish to enter in order to ensure career progression. There are flexible part-time, evening and correspondent courses available to suit individual schedules.

• Work Experience
  Acquiring work experience in the field you wish to enter will enhance your prospects and effectiveness. If you are already in work, a good strategy would be to try working in the field you wish to enter on a voluntary basis, perhaps part-time or evening in order to gain experience and decide if you really are suited to the field.

• Effective Networking
  Half of all jobs never get advertised and yet the positions still get filled through internal circulation, word of mouth and recommendations. Networking essentially requires that you keep in touch with a circle of acquaintances, friends, family and former (as well as current) work colleagues. Networks are excellent sources of information and leads.
