Are you considering a Career Change? Do you feel that your present career doesn’t really achieve what you want? Maybe your values or circumstances have changed.
As you move into your thirties and beyond, it is important to re-evaluate your career path and ensure you are still on course in your career.
Ask yourself these questions to understand if your present career is still the right career for you.
- Am I really happy in my career?
- Am I doing as well as I expected to?
- Is my career fulfilling my needs?
- Am I working at the level that’s right for me at this stage?
- Are new opportunities coming my way?
- Have I got the right work/life balance? Is my quality of life good?
- Am I making the most of my talents, abilities, experience and qualifications?
- Have I gained the respect of my colleagues and bosses?
- Is my career progressing as it should?
If you answer NO to some of these, then maybe the time has come to think seriously about whether you are in the right job. Consider this carefully as you don’t want to end up in another career which is no better than the one you’ve got!
