Myths

taken in part from "Switching Careers" by Robert K. Otterbourg

 

Myth: Most career changers know which direction they'll take.

Fact: It isn't a straight line process, like getting a job. There's a lot to explore, and a variety of options to test before taking the plunge.

 

Myth: A career change is a radical shift.

Fact: Who says it has to be a 180-degree shift? For some it is a seamless transition, with a new career based on a previous one and little or no additional training required.

 

Myth: Changing careers means starting with a clean slate.

Fact: Nothing is further from the truth. Like it or not, the work you've done in the past leaves indelible traces on a new career. You can usually build on your previous skills and experiences, learn new ones and this gives you a unique skill set to offer an employer.

 

Myth: The first step is to quit working and then prepare for a career change.

Fact: Who says the transition needs to be drastic? Try volunteering or going to school in the evening or 1 hour/week to learn new skills to smooth the transition.
