Career Advice: Get Clear...then Get the Word Out!

Making a successful career transition takes some work, though nothing a well-thought out plan can’t handle.
First comes the uncovering of what it is you want to do and incorporating your passions to ensure fulfillment. Take self-assessments and review your favorite aspects of previous jobs. Know your skills and strengths as well as your challenges and build an "ideal job" description that matches you and your work desires.

Next, identify the potential employers or even the ins and outs of starting a business, then create an action plan to begin the process of actually working in your new desired field. Research the internet, talk to others already doing what you want to do. Find out where that job description will fit and start taking steps to make it happen.

And thirdly, build up your confidence and get the message out to others by clearly articulating what you intend to do. Revive your network and begin a campaign to tell those who can help most what you are looking for. Always ask "who do you know that I should talk to?".
