What questions to ask yourself when pondering a career change

According to our guest there are some key aspects and questions to ask yourself when making the move.

Find your why: what’s your reason for this career change? What is lacking now that you are hoping to achieve with this change? And when you do, how will you feel?

Consider changing positions within your company: making a career change can be daunting so staying in the same company can certainly ease the discomfort. Think about what responsibilities you’d like to have and either look for open positions or talk to your manager to find a solution that could work best for you.

Analyse job market trends and demands: take a moment to discover the most in demand skills of the 4.0 industry and more in general the social trends in the workforce. Think about the kind of environment, responsibilities and industry you’d flourish in and where those needs might be more likely to be met.

Lifelong learning: Don’t underestimate the power of lifelong learning, society and job markets are constantly evolving and you’re unlikely to be content in a fixed situation for a long time. Lifelong learning is how you stay passionate and relevant.

Talent is gold: Lastly don’t forget that the job market is regulated by demand and supply. Companies are constantly looking for talents who are cultivating the right skills so stay confident in yourself!
