Career Advice for Job Seekers
Take Control of Your Career
If you are not satisfied with your current job, it may be time to consider a change. However, not necessarily changing jobs within the same career field, but moving to a different one altogether. While you might be hesitant at first to do so, making a career change could be what you need not only for success in the workplace, but your happiness. Here are some tips to help you make a career transition:
Establish your priorities– Decide what things are most important to you in a career (ex.-money, work/life balance, stability, etc.).
Pinpoint your passions– Think about any particular interests or hobbies you have, or try something new; you never know what ability you may possess. Then, do some research to learn about potential job opportunities, based on your interests or hobbies.
Apply your talents to a new target– Find out where your passion can make a difference. If there is a need to be filled and other people know about your talent, you could create opportunities for yourself.

What’s the point of continuing to work in a career field that makes you unhappy? If you believe there is something better for you, then take control of your career, and find your happiness.
