Whether you want to switch jobs, get in a new industry, or do both, you will need to start planning your career transition. Change of profession can be a huge emotional deal. It’s like being in your highest of highs and lowest of lows. A Career Transition workshop is one of the best things to consider. If you can’t afford to spend on a Career Transition workshop, you can create a Career Transition workshop on your own.
Begin your Career Transition workshop by getting some paper and pen. Write step one as your road to self discovery. In this first page, write out all the good skills, abilities, and talents that you have. Here are a few questions that can help you enumerate all your abilities that even you yourself didn’t notice or didn’t pay attention to. This is a method to discover more about you. You will learn all the things that you can do.
• What do you love to do during free time? What thing do you love the best?
• What hobby or project have you made a profit from?
• What does your boss rely on you the most? Is it the creative presentations? Detailed reports?
• If your boss is out of the office, what task does he leave for you to do? Answering client’s inquiries? Reporting to a more senior boss?
• Do colleagues run to you for help? For what?
• What things do you teach new employees?
• When you’re on a long vacation leave, what do your colleagues miss about you the most? Was it, no one was here to check our codes? Or was it, no one was here to reformat or proofread the brief?
• What do your friends brag about you? What quality do they praise about you?
• What thing have you done that you are most proud of? It can be a cake you made, an artwork you’ve painted, and your personal website you made on your own.
Now, go to page two. Write there, my possible jobs. Layout page one and page two side by side. Write in page two the possible jobs from the skills you wrote in page one. Once you’re done, you have just written your possible new jobs. Now you should start crossing out those you hate to do and leave the things you love to do. Then choose one job that you’re very interested in. Imagine yourself doing it. Are you happy about it? You have just finished the most important part of a Career Transition workshop.
Now if you want to quit your job right away, consider your finances. How long can you stay unemployed? Job hunting can take months and if you have a family to feed, it is not wise to leave your job now unless you are willing to take a transition job first. The next step in your Career Transition workshop is to list down all the possible jobs that you can take while you are waiting for your dream job. It can be a waiter or waitress, cashier, or other similar jobs in your area. Now it’s time to get that resume ready and start applying!
