Self-Assessment

First, it’s important to thoroughly assess your personal values, interests, strengths, and personality so that you can best match your individual characteristic to a career that offers opportunities to learn and grow in ways that are important to you.  For those having difficulty assessing their own personality, skills, and values, there are career assessments that can help with the process. 

Career Exploration

Doing sufficient research on career options will help you identify potential opportunities and assess those options that are best for you based on your personal values, strengths, and interests. Networking with professionals in the field, doing informational interviews, and perhaps participating in a job shadow or even an internship may help to further solidify your interest in a particular career field. 

Decision Making

You may find yourself with several interests and feel totally confused and undecided.  If so, you may want to do more research to develop a better understanding of your choices.  Once you decide, you will need to explore the qualifications and requirements for the job.  You may find that you are qualified already or you may find that you will need to further your education by taking a class or committing yourself to completing a professional degree or certification program. Once you research the training and qualifications required, you will have a better understanding of what’s required to make your decision a reality. 

Plan of Action

 Creating a plan of action makes your career decision real. Whether it be searching for a job or an educational program, you can begin to establish a plan that makes your dream possible. Creating specific targeted objectives to help you reach your goals is the best way to achieve success.

 The Journey

Although changing careers can often be scary, once you begin the process it can be exhilarating to find yourself in control of making your dreams a reality.  A career that meets your unique personal traits and characteristics will lead on a new journey that will help you grow personally in new and exciting ways.  As the Chinese philosopher Confucius once said, Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
