The First Step toward a Successful Career Transition

Don’t let all this bad economic news sidetrack your plans. You should still entertain thoughts of that career transition you’ve been dreaming of and even begin taking steps to get you there. Now’s the perfect time to assess your strengths, values, traits, and knowledge and really figure out where you belong in the workplace. Statistics show that those who have the ability to frequently put their strengths into action are the happiest and most productive people in the workforce. Being satisfied at work makes for a more fulfilling personal life. Imagine feeling less stress, having more fun with family and co-workers, and seeing the possibilities of what your life can be!

The first step in a career transition is not reviving your resume and perusing the online job boards. It is taking time to determine what makes you most satisfied and engaged at work. With these things forefront in your mind, your resume, networking and job search will lead you to the right career path. Imagine feeling energized about going to work and excited about playing a part in a company’s success! It’s not only possible, it’s the right thing for you to do, and right now!

Here’s a tool I created to help you do this – the Career Discovery Journal. Each section provides questions and exercises to help you uncover the clues you need to find not just the next job, but the right next job and career direction for you. After working through its pages, noting your findings, the pieces will begin to fall into place so you can clearly see where you want to go. Then, work on your resume and view the job boards and begin networking with confidence because you will know what you want and where you’re headed!

The Journal is 30 pages, 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, and spiral bound – the perfect size and format for carrying with you and having handy for when inspiration strikes and ideas come to mind.
