Are you in the position where your current employment status is at risk or is it time for a career change?
Be prepared, as the decisions you make now will hugely impact your future.

Ask yourself the following questions:

  • What  line of work am I passionate about?
  • What  do I want to achieve with a career move?
  • What do I want in a new position – higher salary, attractive location, career progression?
  • What do I like and dislike about my current position – industry, culture, team size, career opportunity?

Where do I see myself in 5 years time?

  • Prepare yourself mentally and consider the implications of a career change:
  • Be ready to step outside of your comfort zone
  • It is unlikely that you will find a role that meets 100% of your objectives
  • You might have to take a drop in salary to find the perfect job
  • You must be prepared to stay in your new role and with your new employer for at least 12 months
  • The first few months of starting with a new employer are always difficult and you will question whether you have made the right decision, it takes time to settle in so don't jump ship!
