 There are times when we get fed up of
working at the same place and just need to change jobs. People change jobs for
many reasons such as better job prospects, more salary, work satisfaction
lacking or any other reason. But when we need to take that initiative it becomes
difficult. Don't just jump on to leaving your present job unless and until you
have another appointment letter in your hand.
Successfully changing careers can be a time-consuming endeavour. It will require
a lot of patience and hard work. Here are a few tips for successful
changing-career:
Do your homework in choosing a new field or job
Before you decide to resign you need to do your homework thoroughly. Decide
whether you want to join a all-together new field or you just want to be in the
same field or related field but in some company which has more exposure in your
field. Talk to as many people who work in the area as possible. Join
professional organizations and network. Always keep updating yourself with all
that is new happening either in your field or related field.
Prepare yourself for the new job
Now is the time when you will prepare yourself. After you have done your
homework properly and you have gathered all the relevant information about the
company and its job requirement and also the salary they will be offering, you
have to prepare yourself for the job. Again you have to prepare yourself for the
interview. Remember that being selected in an interview is totally on you and
the experience you have gathered from your previous jobs.
Take the leap
After you have cleared everything and you have your new appointment letter in
hand you can take the leap. Your new job might give you that job satisfaction
you are craving for. It might give you more exposure and better job prospects.
You must be getting higher pay but the most important thing that you are
acquiring is the experience. So initially it is recommended that you switch jobs
and now a days most of the young crowd especially in the software and
advertising field switch jobs within 6 months of joining a company. It is very
helpful in shaping your career as well as in giving you experience. |
