ABC Career Tips
At Morgan Ebbett Career Services we are Career Transition Specialists. This is one of the ABC Career Tips to assist you in developing a new career.
“W” is for Why? Why are you doing this? Career changers need motivation when the change is stressful and makes you doubt your abilities and ideas. What is your motivation to keep going? Another W is for Wellness, essential to keep a job search going. What are you doing to stay healthy?
Weekly Career Builder Challenge - 1. Why are you making this career change? Record your motivation. Put the answers to the questions on the ceiling above your bed, on your mirror, or on your screen saver. Try writing a version for your wallet and have a symbol in your pocket that when touched reminds you why you are making this career change. What does that light look like at the end of this transition tunnel? 2. Build your portfolio. Have samples of your work that proves your skills and abilities just in case you begin to doubt yourself. Your portfolio can also include written references. 3. What are you doing to relieve stress? Making changes are stressful and that pressure needs to be released in a healthy way. Exercise, of any kind, is the best way to release stress. Hobbies and activities also help to keep you balanced and maintain your motivation.
“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action – and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.” Martha Graham
