Make your new career work for you

Whether you are new to the workforce or looking for a job change there is a shared trepidation over how you can actually pursue a career and what your self-worth is when considering your new role .

You need to know that you are worth your room on this earth, and more than that you may even have the skills for a career you never considered before. It’s a grind to get there and it’s hard to keep pushing, but eventually you will get there, and we want to offer a little bit of guidance on that journey.

Nothing is wasted in what you learn and what you know; even interpersonal skills are still one of the most sought-after competencies at a time when people are still working from home. For example, a previous career in oil and gas could be used to enter sectors for renewables or even civil work under the right circumstances. You may only need to think laterally to change your approach and put that knowledge to something new.

In this guide we’ll give you some top tips for recognising how to change your career for the better, whether that is looking at training or even further education. We’ll also offer tips for how to start pursuing a new career and how you can best plan for what is expected in your future ventures.

We’ll also give a rundown on how different transferable skills can be recognised and put towards either changing or improving your career goals. How reaching out to others and asking for help is probably one of the most overlooked options and definitely one of the most useful when needing guidance.

There is always a chance to make a change for the better. That doesn’t mean it has to be done right away and it doesn’t mean it will be easy. But with the right attitude and a willingness to plan and explore something new, you’ll be on the right path to finding your next big career move. Read on and find the tips and maybe even some of our partners who may be able to help you on that journey.
