You hate your job. So, do millions of other people. Whether you are unhappy with your current career choice or simply have become bored, changing careers is something that should be thought through thoroughly with great attention to detail versus just jumping right into it. Now, don’t get me wrong, there are some people out there who are more than willing to take that “jump” who are lucky. But these people represent a very small minority.

5 Things to Consider If You’re “Considering”

1. Fail to Plan; Plan to Fail! Sure, you may have those days where you feel like you are just going to walk into your boss’ office and tell him that you’re quitting. However, while this may work for many people, in these economic times, suddenly quitting your job is not advisable. Think about a plan of action as well as how you are going to execute it. If you’re at a job that is somewhat stable and secure, you should plan to transition into a similar job.
2. What do You Want to Do? Knowing that you are unhappy or simply ready for a career change is the easy part. However, figuring out how you’re going to do it is another story. Tests such as the Myers-Briggs may help you figure out what sort of working personality you have.
3. Network! If you’re thinking about changing careers, and you know the career that your aiming for, then feel free to speak to someone in that field. Networking is one of the many ways that people end up in different careers. It truly is about who you know.
4. Time to Re-learn! It may be time to head back to school and bury your nose in some books if you’re really looking to do a total career makeover. This is a great time to head back to school as the economy has taken a slight nosedive and many companies are laying people off.
5. Re-Work That Resume! It’s never too late to give your resume a little face lift. Any time you switch careers or receive any type of rewards, make sure you add it to your working resume, which you can re-work later.
