Blog Post: Research Tips for the Career Changer
posted Tuesday, October 6, 2009 12:45 PM
Do you want to change careers? Get a head-start and reach out to someone in your field of interest. To do this, check the internet (especially blogs), check for professional associations in that field, or simply contact a person that has the job that you want (call a company you know that has the position and ask to talk to them). If you find someone passionate about their field they will most likely be able to answer some simple questions for you that can help you determine if the change is right for you and what you need to do to make the change: Find out:
1. What education and training is needed? 2. What does a recruiter want to see on a resume when hiring in this field? 3. What are the opportunities for advancement? 4. Which of your strengths are suited / or not suited to your field of interest? 5. Do the salary expectations, work hours, and other work conditions appeal to you – do they meet with your requirements? For further information please use the Bureau of Labor Statistics website at www.bls.gov – there you can find a wealth of information that can give you some general answers to the questions above. Paired with some straightforward advice from a professional already in the field, a person can make informed choices about how to navigate changes in their career.
