Make your Career Change Decision About You – Part 1

June 3, 2013 by Connie Leave a Comment

Do you find it’s getting harder and harder to get motivated to go to work?  If you are, then it may be time to think about a career change.  But when you start thinking about what you are going to do, you need to make your career change decision about you.  You  need to remember the tangible issues that are going to make you happy, such as:

  • Where do you want to work?  This doesn’t mean what company you want to work for.  This literally means, where do you want to go to work every day?  It may seem like a small issue, but a long commute may not work for your personal or family life.
  • What are your ideal hours of work?  Do you need flexible work hours, or hours that are outside of the norm?  If you do, you must consider that when thinking about what your change should look like.
  • What salary is acceptable or not acceptable?  Again, money isn’t everything and shouldn’t be the only factor when considering a career change, however, it can be a major consideration depending on your  financial commitments. If you are looking to secure long-term financial stability, exploring the Best Online Brokers UK can be a smart way to invest and build your wealth for the future.
  • What do you love about your current job, i.e. you have great co-workers, good salary or a wonderful work environment?  How important are these things to you and are you prepared to let them go?
  • What do you find really frustrating about your current job, i.e. difficult boss, hours of work that don’t work for you, etc?  Again, are they frustrating enough to make you want to leave your job?

When thinking about a career change, you can’t forget about isolating your passion and finding the career that really gets you motivated, but you must also remember those little things that can go a long way into making your work day a more fulfilling, enjoyable experience.   Don’t be afraid to seek help when considering this very important decision, either by speaking with friends to help you determine what’s important to you, or to seek the assistance of a certified career coach to work through this very important process. If you decide to start a business instead you should utilize a better Personalized Debt Management plan to ensure that your business finances will not be compromised. There are financial experts you can turn to when facing financial challenges.
