Changing careers exciting time for many people
Why does changing careers make sense? Statistics show that people change
careers 3-4 times in a lifetime of jobs.
Remember these career change tips to keep your cool during an
interview
Having a great interview requires careful
planning and luck. There are many reasons why people change careers:
• They don’t like what they do in their current career. Studying something in
college and actually working at it can be very different experiences for people.
For others who grow and evolve, they find that what interested them 5-20 years
ago no longer holds their interest.
• Money! Some careers pay more than others. It’s just a hard, cold fact.
• Supply and Demand. If you’re in a field that is riddled with downsizing and
layoffs, it might be time for new career with a higher demand for work.
• Personal reasons. Travel, Family/Work balance, and health are all reasons why
people decide to change careers.
You got your education, created a career builder strategy, and now are ready for
the next step. Going in for an interview when you’re trying to change careers
can be nerve wracking but remember these facts:
Career change interview fact #1: Your resume garnered
enough attention for the interview so no matter what you background was before;
you beat out 10-100 other people for an interview chance. That should stand for
something.
Career change interview fact #2: You’re a seasoned professional who has been out
in the work force for some time now. You’re not a young college graduate without
any knowledge of the “real” world. You have many cross-over skills and
experience that can apply to your new career.
Career change interview fact # 3: Even if your interviewer loves you, it is his
or her job to get you for as cheap as they can. That’s their situation. That’s
what they do. Don’t let yourself get sold cheap.
