Change is inevitable. I’m sure that you’ve heard that before, but it is true. Everything changes. Seeds turn into flowers and vegetables, babies turn into teenagers, teenagers turn into adults. Life is about growth, development and evolution. Change also leads us to new experiences, new opportunities, and new careers. Over the course of your life, as you grow and develop and change, the nature of your work, or job or employment will also change.
Your career direction will probably also change. Education, skills and experience will lead to new choices and new opportunities mean change. In life you get paid for what you know, and for what you can do. The more jobs that you learn = the more skills you have. With experience, skills and education, you will have more choices within the workforce.
Freedom in the workforce will allow you to enjoy your employment. Your job and the work that you do will be responsible for providing you with the lifestyle that you envision for yourself. Once you have the right job, you will be able to go where you want, when you want.
Your choice of education, your transferable and essential skills, and your natural abilities will help you accomplish your goals. You may have to take courses, be trained or change the routine in your life in order to make it. If you want to be able to choose your career, you are going to have to work for it.
Over the next few months I will be posting tips on how to deal with change, how to prepare for interviews, how to cope with stress, etc. If you have a specific question you would like to have answered, please post a comment.
Looking forward to helping you be the best you can be.
