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. You know this. Redundancy gives a fresh opportunity to look at what career you want. 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.
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.
