Step 1: Self-Reflection and Assessment
Before you embark on your exciting journey toward a new career, it's essential to begin with a heartfelt reflection on your interests, values, strengths, and areas for growth. Ask yourself:
What brings you genuine joy and fulfillment?
What core values and priorities drive you?
Discover your unique set of skills and talents.
Consider which aspects of your current job no longer align with your dreams.
Step 2: Explore Our Career Assessment Center
To investigate potential career paths, we’ll use our Life Working® Career Assessment Center tools and resources to help us identify the transferable skills that will align with your new career prospects.
After completing your assessments, one of our certified coaches will sit down with you to dive into the results. You'll uncover invaluable insights about your personality type, innate abilities, communication style, and personal impact. This newfound knowledge can enhance your quality of life and pave the way for your next exciting career move.
Step 3: Develop New Skills
If your ideal career requires specific qualifications or certifications, it may be worth investing in additional certifications and skill development. We’ll point you to online courses, workshops, or other programs to bridge the gap between your skills and those required in your new field.
Step 4: Network and Build Connections
Networking is a powerful tool and can be your secret weapon during your job search. We will teach you the art of building and nurturing a valuable professional network and help you create a strategy to identify and attend industry events and join online forums.
