Overcoming Inertia in Job Change
If you can hold on to an optimistic belief in the possibility of success, you have a very powerful motivator of change. But not everyone can, or will need help to do that as some are naturally more optimistic than others.
It can be especially difficult to be optimistic if you are feeling a little hurt or bruised following redundancy, but even when you know you need the change it can be difficult to get going. Just take a look at the stages:
Stages of Change
1) Thinking About Thinking About It
2) Thinking About It
3) Preparing For It
4) Acting Upon It
5) Maintaining It
1) Thinking About Thinking About It
You do not really want to consider a new job at all and you will actively resist if you feel pressured or coerced into changing.
You perhaps know you should be looking but you aren't really committed to job hunting.
You may be giving it some half-hearted thought because of pressure from others - "you really ought to get another job" but you do not want to take it any further.
"I'm not going to bother with job hunting. I've got my redundancy money now, so I've no real need to work." This response is OK if you've got enough money for the rest of your life or until your pension kicks in.
2) Thinking About It
You do see a need for change and you may be considering making a change "sometime" or perhaps when you're quite ready. Which isn't yet?
You are starting to contemplate and weigh the pros and cons of change.
"I suppose I should look for a job, I could get bored doing nothing"
"I need some mental stimulation to keep the old grey cells working"
"If someone offered me a job I'd consider it. I just can't face the thought of job-hunting"
3) Preparing For It
You've made a preliminary decision and you're preparing to make a change and look for the new job.
This stage involves both the psychological intention to change and the initial practical steps towards the change.
You now need to develop and enhance your plan and consider the consequences.
4) Acting upon It
You now start taking concrete behavioural steps, seeking information and following advice on practical strategies and activities.
You are now actively job-hunting. You are thinking about your skills and experience as well as getting your CV up to date. You start a file to chart your applications and other activities.
5) Maintaining It
You have started your job search process and are now making efforts to maintain the momentum of your campaign. You are applying for jobs, networking with contacts and attending interviews.
You soon recognise that it can be disheartening and that your confidence can waver after the initial enthusiasm. Try not to lose heart, a lack of early success can lead to a loss of motivation; but persistence, patience and perseverance will always pay off with the result you want.
Summary
Motivation is necessary for successful job hunting.
No-one but you is going to make you job hunt, and no-one but you can make it successful. However if you use good advice carefully, you will get the result you need.

How to Write a Resume For Your Mid-Life Career Change
Career changers often feel challenged when asked to write a resume targeting a new industry. Here are some tips to help you make the transition. Of course, successful career changers do not rely on resumes to do the whole job. They realize that networking and "back door" opportunities tend to be more successful.
(1) Use buzzwords and jargon that show you are familiar with your target industry. Refer to skills that are valued in that industry.
When you change careers, you find recruiters and employers will ask, "Do you have the in-depth knowledge of our industry? Does your experience transfer effectively?" Your resume needs to show, not tell, that the answers are "yes" and "yes."
(2) Demonstrate increased progress in your current career.
The most convincing part of your resume will demonstrate that others demonstrated respect for you in tangible ways. Were you given a promotion? More responsibility? A statement like, "Grew department from 5 to 15 employees" shows that your company was willing to give you resources. Recruiters like to see growth trends, which is just one reason functional resumes often backfire.
(3) Show awareness of the employer's needs.
These days objectives tend to be replaced by summaries, which really are summaries of what you can offer your new employer. A summary that begins, "Seeking a job where I can have more challenges, enjoy personal growth and..." Well, a lot of hiring managers will stop reading there.
(4) Make your resume easy to read.
Set up the resume with lots of white space. Write clearly and use headings to show employment places and dates. If employers have to spend time finding the information they need, they just might see an excuse to toss your resume in the reject pile.
(5) Presents details of how you contributed to your company's success.
Avoid presenting a job description. In each section, refer to accomplishments and achievements. Once you are over sixteen you no longer have "duties" and "tasks." You have responsibilities (which are less important than the outcomes).
(6) Include links to selected online locations.
You are often advised to link to a web portfolio that looks professional. You would include examples of your work that you are legally allowed to share. Some advisors suggest adding your own mission statements and core values. Others say just focus on your career accomplishments and skills.
Here's a place to use your network. You might also google people who just completed a successful job search in your industry. Often you will find links to their online portfolios. Use them as role models only; copying can backfire.
(7) Tell the truth.
These days employers routinely check backgrounds. Expect every word to be analyzed (especially if the HR department gets bored). One manager wrote that she had minored in a subject in college. She had enough credits for a minor but the word "minor" was not noted on her transcript. She was actually asked to explain the "discrepancy."

ISTJ Careers - 5 Career Change Tips For ISTJs
Are you an ISTJ? Are you wondering what the best ISTJ careers might be for you? Well, I guess if you are reading this, you are already a fan of MBTI - or the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, as I am. As a career change consultant, I have found it to be a great tool when helping career changers work out what direction they should go in next.
So how do you make a connection between your personality type and the careers you could consider? There is no doubt that you will be happiest in a career where you are able to use your preferred style of operating for the majority of the time. So when you are considering new career options, take your type elements into account.
Using your Introversion
Make sure there will be opportunities for you to work in a quiet and focused way and that you will have time to think and reflect on the work you are doing. If you are constantly required to interact with colleagues and clients, thinking on your feet as you go you will probably find that a struggle.
Using your Sensing
You will probably be happier if your work involves handling concrete facts and processes where you can see an immediate practical application. You are great with applying detailed systems and may feel less comfortable if your work demands constantly coming up with new ideas and approaches.
Using your Thinking
You are a clear headed, logical thinker and have great skill in weighing up pros and cons objectively. You will probably prefer a work environment where everyone works to clear principles and standards and will feel less inspired by a setting that has a strong 'people' focus.
Using your Judging
You prefer a planned and orderly approach and you are likely to be methodical and systematic in the way you work. You just want to know what you are meant to be doing so you can get on with it. If a job requires you to constantly chop and change, or if the environment is fairly chaotic and unstructured, it is likely that you will find this draining.
Don't just look for a simple match
You are a wonderfully complex creature and many factors will be important in your career choice, so don't expect a simple one-to-one match where ISTJ = x is the perfect job for you.
Looking at the outlines above, it would be easy to jump to a simplistic conclusion eg that accountancy or law would be good ISTJ careers. Now you will probably find there are more ISTJs in these fields than in areas such as performing arts and advertising, but don't base your career change decision just on your personal style. Make sure that you take account of your skills, interests and values too as well as practical issues such as where you live or are willing to move to.
In the meantime, if you would like to read more about your personality and your career, then I invite you to take a look at the How To Change Careers website http://www.how-to-change-careers.com/career-change-test.html You can take a simple and free personality quiz to give you an idea of your MBTI preferences and read more about what your ISTJ personality type means for you and your career http://www.how-to-change-careers.com/istj.html You can also access my ebook, Know Your Personality, Know Your Career where you will find more career suggestions for each MBTI type.

Career Change Survivor - I've Just Lost My Job - What Do I Do Now?
It is simply everywhere. Companies downsizing, merging, and closing. Jobs are short and candidates are plentiful. While this is good for a company filling a position, it makes for stiff competition for those looking for a job. Instead of being able to implement a career change on your timing, it may be necessary to find a job until you can search more intensely for that career change. So you just lost your job, what do you do now?
In this economy, it will be important for you to gather up your bills and do a financial assessment. Yes, that means doing a budget. It will be imperative that you lower your monthly expense immediately. Unless, of course, you were one of those treasured few that received the million dollar settlement! Search the internet for a home budget calculator to help you.
List every expense that you have and find out where you can cut costs. Do you really need that fully expanded, bells and whistles cable connection, or could you get by with the basic channels and rent a movie? Do you really need that new pair of shoes? Or can you take your current shoes to the repair shop and make them last another season? If you have to eat out once a week, can you share an entree with a friend or spouse and cut the cost in half? Cutting costs can be difficult, but it can be done, I promise!
Once you have developed a budget and know where you stand financially, map out several action plans. What will your plan be now that you are out of work? Where will you start?
Career Change Survivor Action Plan No. 1. If severance was not an option with your job loss you may need to take a job to bridge the financial gap while you continue to look for a real career position. It can be at a lowered salary and will not look as damaging on your resume as a gap in employment. Beware, though, that some companies will question your motivation to stay in a full-time position that is not challenging for any length of time, so a part-time or contract position can be a better fit for this transitional period.
Career Change Survivor Action Plan No. 2. In a survivor situation begin immediately to deal with the emotion of losing your job. It will be difficult to think clearly and convince an employer that you can be a positive employee hire if you are depressed or feeling embarrassed about the job loss. How many people do you suppose have lost their job at one time or another in their career? Almost everyone has or will. So, do not blame yourself. Look at the positive contributions you bring to a job and focus on those.
Career Change Survivor Action Plan No. 3. And, while you are focusing on those positive contributions, make sure you reflect those skills and talents in an updated resume. Think back about projects where you made a valuable contribution or a team you worked with that accomplished a specific task, either under budget, ahead of time or both. Once completed, have a trusted friend or advisor review your resume.
With an action plan in place, the last step will be to work your J.O.B.S.
Journey. Surround yourself with supportive people who embrace your journey, even if they do not always understand it! Find support in your own household and, if not there, search out others who can be a positive support to you.
Objective. Develop an objective on how to best maintain your mental health in this kind of situation. If finances are stressing you, making that budget or searching out that transition job may be the objective. How you approach your job search, what industry, what job, what area, may be another focus. Is this the right time to change careers? That may be the objective. Find and work your objective.
Balance. Find balance in your life while you are out of work. Do not ditch that healthy routine while you are looking and even after you take that next position. That quick walk around the block can clear the cobwebs and help the brain to think clearer. Statistics show that one of the best relievers of stress is exercise. End the chaos by walking away for a short time!
Sell. Sell yourself to everyone without being a used car salesman. Focus on how to articulate the value you bring to an organization. You never know when a contact may become the next source for an opening that fits you. Get involved in social networking on-line and with your community, professional associations, and even volunteer or work part-time at a niche organization that fits your career target so they can see first hand your work ethic and style.
Working to find a job that is a career is one of the hardest jobs you will ever have to do. Use your resources and call in all of your support and favors. Seek out a professional if you need to hit the ground running and need their expertise to gear up faster. Stay focused, work all of your leads and never give up! Before you know it, you will be back to work again.

Career Change Ideas - 7 Ways to Find Out What You Really Want to Do
You know, it is the lack of career change ideas that seems to keep many would-be career changers stuck.
One of the things that clients often say to me is:
I know I want to change careers, to do something different, but I just don't know what I want to do instead.
The problem is they are stuck in a habitual pattern of boxed-in thinking that prevents them from seeing the wealth of possibilities that are out there.
Would you like some tips to help you get out of that place and to help you to generate a range of new career ideas to explore? Then read on.
Tip 1 - Forget job titles
Job titles really inhibit your thinking. If I asked you to list all the jobs you could think of, you might come up with a couple of hundred before you ran dry. In reality there are thousands of jobs out there that you would never identify under your own steam, so forget the job title and focus instead on the key themes that are important for you in a job. What do you want your dream job to involve?
Tip 2 - List what you don't want to do
This is often quite easy to do if you are in a job you hate and it can be a very useful exercise. It helps you to focus on the aspects of a job that really drive you nuts and then also identify those that are annoying in your current job but actually you'd be prepared to put up with to some degree in a different situation. When you identify something as a no-no, ask if it would always be no under all circumstances. This will help you to avoid rejecting jobs in a knee-jerk way because they share similarities with your current role.
Tip 3 - List what you think you should want to do
What do you think your career should look like? What pressure are you putting on yourself to confirm to certain benchmarks (eg I must be earning a certain salary, I should be in a professional role, it must be something that other people will respect and admire me for). Just check with yourself whose rules you are following here. Who exactly says that your career must look like this? Is this really what you want or what other people say you should aspire to?
Tip 4 - List what you would do if anything were possible
Yes, you are allowed to take the brakes off here and create a big dream. Forget the constraints you put on yourself, wherever they come from. If your fairy godmother arrived to take you to the ball, what job or career would you ask her to line up for you as part of the deal?
Tip 5 - List what you would do if you gave yourself permission to say that you want it
So often, we limit the possibilities in our lives because we just don't allow ourselves to want something. Maybe you want to earn lots of money - but that seems too greedy. Maybe you want to have an easy, quiet job - but that seems too lazy. Maybe you want to set up your own business - but you can't because you have to think about so many other people in your life first. What do you need to give yourself permission to want to do?
Tip 6 - Reinvent yourself
If you could rewind the tape on your life and re-run it, what would you do? If you could dump all the stuff, the rules, the history that you have gathered on your journey through life to this point and travel light without the baggage, where would your journey take you? What would the new you look like and what work would this new person be doing? What does this tell you about what would really inspire you?
Tip 7 - Think big and think small
Your new career does not have to be something world changing and grand. If you want to change the world, great! Go ahead and build your new career around this big vision. But if you feel drawn to operating on a more local scale, that's fine too. Small changes can be just as transforming for your career and your life as big ones, so don't be fooled into thinking that bigger is necessarily better. Career change success is about finding what feels right for you.
So take some time to think about your career change with these 7 tips in mind - and by time I mean days, weeks, maybe even months if necessary. Changing career is a big step, so allow yourself the time and space to really think it through.
And while these tips are beginning to free up your thinking about new career possibilities, I invite you to take a look around the How To Change Careers website where you will find a host of career change ideas to get you moving, and you can also download my free Career Change Blueprint http://www.how-to-change-careers.com/career-change-blueprint.html - a step-by-step guide to career change success.

Career Change Questions - The 10 Questions You Should Ask Before You Leave Your Job
It is very easy when you are feeling fed up and frustrated at work to think that the only solution is a new job or career. Maybe you have been in this job for a long time and it is getting stale. Perhaps the management has changed and with it the pleasant working atmosphere you used to enjoy?
But particularly in these uncertain times, it pays to look before you leap. Ask yourself these 10 career change questions before you decide that the only solution is a change of career direction.
1. What is good about your current job?
No job is all bad. Remind yourself of the good bits - there are bound to be some. Are you forgetting these because of a particular problem somewhere in the job?
2. What brought you into this job in the first place?
You must have wanted this job once upon a time. Revisit the motivation that drew you in at the beginning. Does this still apply? Has your motivation changed so dramatically that this job no longer fits the bill?
3. What is bad about the job?
Make an honest list. What is it about the job that gets you down? If you take time to write these things down you may find that one or two aspects have got blown out of proportion.
4. What are the people like - your colleagues, managers and clients?
The people around you will have a big impact on your work satisfaction. Is there one problem person who is spoiling things for you? Are your colleagues great but the customers a pain? Or is it just a new manager who has made things difficult for you?
5. What is the organisational culture like?
Companies have a very particular feel about them. This can depend on the size of the firm or on the general purpose. Are they very high pressure and competitive or too slow and laid back for your taste? If your values do not align with the company ethos, it can leave you feeling very uncomfortable.
6. What is the location like - nice area, nice office?
Sometimes you will find that you are tempted to stay by the pleasant working environment you find yourself in. Nice view, smart office and so on. But this will not be enough if the work is boring or overwhelming. How important are these factors to you?
7. What is your journey to work like?
Commuting can be such a nightmare. It can add hours to your working day and be such a scramble that you arrive at work exhausted. Are there alternative routes you could travel? Could you negotiate a day a week working from home? If your commute is very stressful, it may be time to look for work closer to home.
8. What is the range of tasks and responsibilities like?
Are you overwhelmed with work or bored with not enough to do? Have you been given more and more responsibilities so that you can't see any prospect of getting on top of it all? Are you being asked to do more than you are trained or qualified to do or are you being underused?
9. What are your typical working hours like?
Is the suggestion that your hours are 9 - 5 a joke? Are you expected to stay late or take work home on a regular basis? Are you having to work shifts that play havoc with your social life? Or maybe shifts actually suit you because they give you flexibility?
10. What are your longer term prospects like?
Can you see any possibility of promotion or a sideways move within your company that could improve your situation? Have you asked? Are you stuck in a tiny firm where the only way up is out? Is promotion important to you or are you happy to stay at the same level, doing work you feel you can manage without too much stress?
And one more for luck - Are you paid enough to make the hassle worthwhile?
Money is not everything. It can help ease the pain of a stressful or boring job, but if the hours are long, are you actually getting the time to enjoy the fruits of your labour?
These questions should give you plenty to think about. If you can find enough that is positive about your job, you may decide to stay put for now. On the other hand, if you come up with long list of negatives and very few positives, perhaps you really should start looking, recession or no recession. How much of your life are you going to fritter away in a job that is driving you quietly round the bend?
If you decide the time has come to make a move, but you don't know where to begin, then I invite you to visit the How To Change Careers website, where you will find lots of advice and suggestions on career change. You can also pick up a copy of my free Career Change Blueprint which will give you the 5 essential steps to career change success.

Managing Emotions During Career Change and Job Search, Part One
How can you manage your emotions during your career change or job search? To answer this practical and wise question, let's first define what emotions are. Emotions, also commonly referred to as feelings, are energy released in your body in response to perceived events, that is, to data received via your five senses.
To build your skill in managing your emotions during your current or next career transition:
1.) Practice Naming Your Emotions. There's great power in simply naming your emotions as you experience them. Check in with yourself several times a day and name your emotions in a journal or log. Learn to identify the nuances of difference between emotions that are similar. Choose carefully how you name what you're feeling: word choice creates reality!
2.) Allow Yourself to Feel What You Feel. Resisting emotions keeps you stuck in them. Why not do something radical like feeling them? Let the emotion wash over you and it will pass through you infinitely more gently. Feeling your feelings is always easier than resisting them, because emotions grow in proportion to our resistance to them.
3.) Express What You Feel. Unexpressed emotions are like poison trapped in the body. You don't really want to do that to yourself, do you? Let them out! The key here is safety and appropriateness. Find ways to express your emotions that are safe and mature for you and those around you.
4.) Act on Your Emotions. Again, safety and appropriateness are key. Emotions are messengers from your internal reality prompting you to take some action. Discover what each emotion wants you to do, then do it, safely. Don't delay, or your emotions will act on you.
5.) Journal. Journal thoughts, emotions, dreams and dialogues. Write letters you won't send. Mine your innards to find the truth within.
6.) Exercise. Physical activity is a great stress reducer and safe way to channel your emotions into action. Whether it's a walk or a swim, a bike ride or run, or aerobics or muscle building, it will help you constructively channel your stress into a healthy mind and body. Start slow; be consistent!
7.) Talk to a Safe Someone. Call a friend or family member; find a counselor; try a coach or spiritual director; meet with a priest, pastor or rabbi ... but call someone! You don't have to bear your burdens alone unless you choose to ... and why would you choose to?
8.) Use Art to Express Yourself. Paint your panic. Draw your dreams. Write poetry to express the inexpressible within you. Both verbal and nonverbal art forms can help you release what should not be trapped within you.
9.) Use Music to Match Your Mood. You can use music to match your mood and thereby express it, or you can use music to alter your mood when it's critical to do so. So, if you're down and need to pump it up, try some rousing rock or Latin music. If you're hyper and need to calm down and center, try baroque, New Age or soft jazz selections. Music can be a particularly powerful way to help yourself relax into sleep or get revved up for your day.
10.) Pray or Meditate Through Your Feelings. Both prayer and meditation are powerful ways to feel and express your emotions. Practice one or the other or both daily.
Jobs Available For Teens That Are Fun For a Change and Still Earn Good Money
They are teenagers and it's your summer break from high school. All your friends are now all working part-time jobs and earn money so that they have things like a down payment on a car and going out and fun to make, but they are always complaining about how boring they are at work and wanted her to that her part-time job, which was also done a lot of fun. Well, maybe your friends do not take the time to look around and researched the many different part-time jobs thatare for young adults, but they are out there. Let's take a look at some now.
No matter where you go around the country, there is no place more fun, then go to theme parks. Theme parks always something exciting and enjoyable to do, making it almost 15 hours a day non-stop fun. Rent in my area of San Diego, Sea World, more young adults for many different tasks. Every time I go there I see them teaching young adults how to train dolphins. You will pay between $ 9and $ 14 per hour depending on the area of work you are interested. The best part is that you spend your summer days that a lot of fun and can work with incredible sea animals in a very relaxed atmosphere. I have not yet seen an ocean world, employees who do not have a smile on his face, too.
Disneyland and Disney World are two of the largest theme parks in America, and they have thousands of employees and are always on the lookout for more. You can opt for a job as Mickey Mouse orDonald Duck and you will have the whole day outdoors fun and that children laugh, or you can work in a ticket office. There are many employment opportunities for all.
If you own kind of person to sit there many jobs that do house jobs. I am sure that you have a neighbor or two, which rely on a summer holiday somewhere outside their country want to know. Most people are afraid to leave her house for more than a week, because they think that someonetry to break into their homes if they do not see the lights or someone active in the interior, and that's where you come in. You can talk to them about staying in their home country for a few hours a day, also to maintain the front yard. In this way, when they return home, they are again on a beautiful and clean house in the same way that they have left it. Went hunting for a house sitting job, make sure you make a good friendship with your neighbors for at least six months prior to the time. In this way,they are able to trust you and learn how a person who know very reliable, and will not relent on the labor market.
These are just a few interesting ideas that work, I give you. I know that there are many more out there, as I have done for me. Just use your imagination and find a niche that people really need, and you have always come to work you. Good luck and have fun.
