Career shifting? Is it a new expression and what does it mean to you and me?

There’s a whole lot of expressions being used now to make sense of changing jobs, being out of work and looking for new opportunities.  Career management has never been more important as now in these recessional and challenging times.

If you find yourself in the situation of career transition then who do you turn to?  Can Job Centre Plus give you the answers and help you need?  Not necessarily.

Sometimes you might just need an independent unbiased person to talk to. Talking can lead to personal discovery; like understanding what your preferences are and where and with whom you want to work.  It’s not only your skills, knowledge and experience that need to be considered when you are searching for work.   Think about what you are interested in, the environment you want to work in, the values and motivations that are important to you too.  All are important if you want to enjoy and be fulfilled at work.

A professional career consultant has resources, expertise and knowledge that can help you get back on track and make sure that whatever gear you are in,  the career change is as smooth as possible.
