Career Advice

Are you fed up with your current career and looking for career advice?

If so then this may be an interesting article for you to read.

Many people reach a point in their careers where they decide it is time for a change. They start to seek career advice as they get ready to make a career change. Lots of people will make a career change several times in their working lives.

The question is … who should you turn to for career advice?

No doubt there are lots of people who are willing to give you career advice, qualified or not, and it is up to you who’s advice to value. You have to be careful though as to the quality of the advice you are receiving.

When seeking career advice you are better off to firstly think through what you want most from a career change. Is it:

* Just for a change of scene
* For more money
* For more diverse tasks
* To met different people
* To expand your skills
* To experience new industries

Or … are you considering a career change simply because you are feeling a lack of appreciation in your current career? Maybe you have reached a point where your career is no longer challenging and fulfilling.

What is most important is that you clearly identify your reasons behind considering a career change. In fact … a career change in itself may not actually help you resolve what ever issues are leading you to consider a career change.

So being clear on what is motivating you to consider a career change is essential in deciding who to accept career advice from.

It is for this reason that many people are turning to Career Coaches for career advice.

A career coach can help you clearly identify the reasons behind your desire for a career change, and help you work through these issues. Many find that just by chatting to a career change coach they decide that they are in the best career choice for them.

Others find that getting career advice from a career change helps them gain clarity around what they want specifically from a new career. This then enables them to, working with their career coach, develop a plan of action to successfully transition into their new careers.
