Job Hunting - Change of career

With today's pace of change you should not expect to spend your entire working life doing the same job for the same employer. Those days have to a greater or lesser extent gone. Change in career or enforced change seems to be the order of the day and being able to be adaptable and flexible in your approach can greatly enhance your job opportunities.

If you are made redundant this may give you a fresh chance to look at what career you really fancy. Given how important work is, it is an ongoing puzzle why so many people take the first job that comes along without really considering whether it is right for them. It is understandable that people may feel frightened re their responsibilities for the family, mortgages, and bills.

Equally puzzling is how many people have an ideal job in mind which they are frustrated that they can't find.

The basic career choice rules include:

• Be clear on exactly what skills you have.
• Be clear where you want to use your skills.
• Be clear on all possible job options.
• Look at all possible paths that would bring you to your ideal job.
• Be clear on what additional skills you gain from your next job.
