Charting a New Career Course

February 2nd, 2010 by Susan P. Joyce

You’re not that crazy about your job and where it’s leading (or NOT leading).  Other jobs or careers interest you, but you prefer to avoid making the proverbial out-of-the-frying-pan-into-the fire mistake.

So what do you do now?

Speaking as a person who has made the frying-pan-fire transition at least twice and had 5 majors in 5 years of undergraduate study (I’m interested in everything!), this is not a simple question to answer, particularly when you are working full time.  Or, when you are looking for a job full time.

My advice:  Try, before you “buy!”

Having also been unfortunate enough to discover in the last semester of my 2nd senior year in college when my student teaching experience convinced me teaching high school American History or English was probably the last thing I wanted to do, trying a job before you are committed to it is smart.

So, how? (more…)

Lifelong Learning for Career Security

January 19th, 2010 by Susan P. Joyce

I am a member of the Career Collective, a group of  resume writers and career coaches. Each month, all members discuss a topic, and this month’s topic is making the most of the new year. Please follow our tweets on Twitter #careercollective and see the links to the other articles at the bottom of this post.

My recommendation to everyone for 2010 is to KEEP LEARNING!

Job hunting or not, promise yourself that you will learn something new and relevant every day – whether it is related to the job you currently have or the job you want to have some day.

Keep in mind the 2nd of Dan Pink’s “Two Simple Questions” from DanPink.com, posted on 01/01/10.

Am I better today than I was yesterday?

Stop Learning at Your Peril

Particularly now, with the very high velocity of technology change in our world and our workplaces, if you don’t keep learning, unpleasant things will happen:  you will fall behind your competition in the marketplace for that next job search, and your professional/business network will get smaller and less effective.  Both translate into less success in business (or education or government, etc.) and fewer options for you in the job market.  Neither has to happen to you!
