Career change - Have you changed careers?

What happens when you feel like you've hit a brick wall in terms of your working life? Have you experienced a need for change? What happened? Why did you make that change and what effect did it have on you after you took the plunge? Leave a comment and let me know!

Sometimes the career we have doesn't meet our expectations. I think that's a difficult decision to make, especially when we devoted so much time to study and prepare our lives for something we thought would be the making of us. It can be soul destroying, going to work every day when your heart isn't in it any more. Some studies show that it can often become traumatic. So how do we deal with that? 

Many questions arise during times of change. For example:

  • What careers support is there for me?
  • What do I want to do?
  • How can I modify my CV to reflect my strengths in times of change?
  • What qualifications do I have that may be relevant to another sector?
  • How will the change affect my life/family?
  • Am I too old to change careers?
