Week 9: WCIYP Ch10. Five ways to choose/change careers

Five ways to choose/change careers:
  1. The first idea that occurs to people seeking guidance on how to choose or change careers, these days, is the Internet. For example you can use O*Net Online, a digital, online treasure house of information, and up-to-date information at that, about careers.
  2. There are assessments we can take. The popular name for them, test. I’m not sure how well they’ll help you choose a new career, but you will find them everywhere: in books, on the Internet, in the offices of guidance counselors, or vocational psychologists, career coaches, etc.
  3. Use the flower exercise. 
  4. Well, let’s start with a definition: a job is a job-title in a field. That means, a job has two parts: title and field. Title is really a symbol for what you do. Field is where you do it, or what you do it with. A dramatic career-change typically involves trying to change both at the same time.
  5.  Find out what the job-market will need and what’s in high demand. Unluckily this isn’t based on your needs or wishes of dream job necessarily. It not based on what you want but what the market wants. There are many sites you can visit to help with this one very helpful site is Forbes. They illustrate the “hot jobs “that are trending and in demand and from there you can research on to make an executive decision.


Job hunting will always be a difficult task, but with the right guidance it can be an easier. So take a look at these ways to find a career and do the research. Find what you rally want to do for a living and make the dream become a reality.
