Have you started to doubt whether you've chosen the right path in your career? Read career experts' advice on how to take action and get you further.
When you come across new, exciting job ads, and you see friends go further in their careers, it continued to question about their own job situation.
"I should have got the job offer," "I would never have chosen PR," "I should have changed jobs long ago." These are thoughts that can be stressful, and is not particularly helpful to your current situation.
Gisle Hellsten emphasizes the importance of looking ahead.
Being stuck in one position and not be able to see the way out, often perceived as frustrating. It is important not to spend too much time to brood over the position you are in, but rather trying to put into words what you want to work with in the future, he says.
Brainstorming:
Priscilla Claman is president of Career Strategies Inc., and also contributes Career in Harvard Business Review's "HBR Guide to Getting the Right Job". She has written an article about it to regret career choices and provide advice as to how one should approach the situation.
She advises readers not to think about what they should have done differently, but rather think about what you can do ahead. She recommends to collect some good friends or colleagues to participate in a brainstorming around potential you actually have. Be sure to ask someone who can think imaginatively and positively - not cynical and negative.
Write down as many ideas as possible. Some possibilities for PR example could be:
- "What if you did PR for a cause you're passionate about?"
- "What if you coached clients within PR strategy?"
- "What if you taught basic PR to business leaders?
Explore all the ideas are on the table. If you notice that some of the ideas inspire you, you just have to continue to find out what possibilities exist for implementing it, writes Claman.
Hellsten says that there may be an idea to spar with a professional career guidance.
Some hour investment may be worth it if one compares staking out a course that is right for those who seek career shift. Some counties have this as a free service, but not all.
The way forward:
Gisle Hellsten is largely agree that an environmental change may be what it takes. Although the tasks remain quite similar, perhaps new associates within a new industry be enough to find a job you will enjoy working with. Other times, a future price changes also require new skills.
For example, continuing and further education will be essential to achieving its goals. In such cases it is advisable to plan for the longer term. If one is continuing and further educate themselves on part-time or in the evenings, or have the opportunity to become full-time student in a period. Or could it be that there are good training and further education opportunities that present employer would consider paying for?
A good survey of what tasks you can imagine forward and reflection on what it takes to reach career goals is often a good start. It's also wise to examine how labor market looks for people who have taken the training you are considering for assessing risk. For some areas of the labor market there is huge demand, while others less lacking manpower, explains Hellsten.
When you come here that we should seek a new job, he believes that it is important to communicate well about why you want a new job. For a new employer is not good enough motivation that you did not enjoy where you were.
