Career Change without Leaving Work

 Dated: 12-10-2009

Are you bored with your present job? Or have you hit the plateau? And do you want to change your career without leaving the present job? You can definitely do it if you chart out a workable plan. To succeed in your plans what you need is ambition, drive and a regular work schedule. Above all you must have strong willingness to change the career. It is extremely important to shun the feeling of being stifled to the extent that new paths to a more enriching career may run into stumbling blocks.

Ask yourself whether you have the ability to handle multi-task situation which is necessary to go ahead with your plan to seek career change without quitting the job.

First of all you must have a clear idea of what you want to do. Aim at a specific goal in the chosen career field. Instead of having a vague general dream, have clear cut idea as to what to do. For example, instead of having a desire to become a writer, be specific; aim at becoming script writer or so. Then assess the experience you had gained from the present job and to what extent it can be used to reach the goal you have set for you. This assessment is necessary as many fail to recognize the fact that their present job experience is a step forward to the new career or even a footprint to the entrepreneurial small business of their own. Such possibilities have to be identified.




After deciding on the specific field, do some basic research to find out what skills you need to have to enter the chosen field and list them out. Try to master those skills one at a time on a daily basis. While following the charted daily routine, you must be careful not to ignore your present work. You need that income so that you can make your living and still pursue the plan to change your career.

While following the daily routine, you must track your progress as it would help you continue the chosen course of acquiring the needed skills.

There a few good night class programs. Don’t hesitate to take advantage of those programs. That investment is not a waste.
Lastly, you must regularly submit resumes. Without doing so, it is not possible to know what career openings are there for you to choose from.

I took a look at this site and thought it was just like the others! It's not! It's easy to find the job that you are looking for! I actually was looking for a job like my last one and found many in my area! I was working 20 miles from my home and I found one just a couple of miles away. Looks like the gas prices won't be affecting me much now! Thanks!
