Making change in your career is inevitable.
|
Transition can be prompted by:
- A desire for personal growth and change
- Dissatisfaction with what you are doing on a day-to-day basis
- Work roles, tasks, and expectations that change or no longer meet your needs
- Changing family or personal circumstances
- Changes in health status
- Job loss
- Occupational burnout
- Undesirable work situations
|
Career transitions often involve:
- Seeking promotion or progression in your career
- Capitalizing upon emerging opportunities
- Reevaluating your career in view of changing priorities and personal desires
- Considering alternate work arrangements:
- permanent vs. contingent
- full vs. part-time
- employee vs. contract or independent
- home-based vs. office
- Identifying ways of renewing your career
- Rebounding after involuntary job loss
|
Professional career and lifestyle counselling helps facilitate personal readiness to initiate and respond to career transitions. Career counselling is often used to assist in the process of formulating appropriate career goals and to help overcome specific barriers to career growth and change.
