Goals: Achieve Career Ambitions, Improve Your Life

Your career change process should begin with setting your career goals or objectives which will be better if they are as specific as possible.

Like so many things, until you clarify what you want from your career, or when you want to get into a new job, you will just drift along and nothing will come to fruition. So, be specific: "I want to find and start a new job by 1st November..."

With a date like that in mind, then work out the actions and activities you need to start doing. More about job-search planning.

You may find this to be difficult when you don't know what career opportunities may be available, so make use of career assessment tests that can be helpful in uncovering opportunities and careers that interest you. Career tests range from the quick and informal like the MAPP Assessment which you can try out free, or may be more in-depth like those such as Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

Most free assessments, although some are very good, do not offer an in-depth evaluation.

Too often career planning is ignored in favour of just getting on with the work - writing your CV, covering letter preparation and sending out job applications. However, many people fail to realise that job-search planning is essential for saving time, money and avoiding many problems that may arise.
