What should you do when mid-way through your chosen career you found out that it doesn’t fulfill you anymore? Fortunately, there is the option of changing careers. Before you quit your job and go job-hunting in an entirely new industry, there are some things you must do first.
Changing careers? Do the SWOT Analysis
Getting your new dream job as your objective, evaluate the Strengths and Weaknesses that you have, and the Opportunities, and Threats that you will likely encounter.
Check out the job market for requirements of your targeted new career
Always do research on what your new target career will require you to have. Think also of the skills that you have at present that may be applied in your new career.
For those skill requirements that you don’t possess yet, consider further training and education to make you ready for career change. This is why you should not quit your current job yet as training for the new skills will take time.
