Choosing a career doesn\u2019t have to mean you choose it for life. People change and grow, gaining new interests and values and leaving old ones behind. So, it makes perfect sense that a career you once loved no longer excites you. It\u2019s estimated that people change careers 5-7 times in their lives, and with new industries and career types constantly on the horizon, it\u2019s not surprising to hear that number is expected to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been searching for new career ideas, we\u2019ve got some solid advice for help choosing a new career direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with why you don\u2019t like your current career.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take some time to really figure out why you no longer like it. Whether it\u2019s the hours and schedule, the way your position is viewed, or the fact that you\u2019ve probably learned all you can, really thinking about why you dislike your job has two benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, it helps you truly confirm that you\u2019re ready for a change and want to try something new. And second, it starts you down a path of self-discovery that\u2019ll lead to some really interesting places, professionally and<\/em> personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figure out what your new career looks like.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the search for a new career, don\u2019t forget about cultivating new career skills. Take a personal inventory of your interests, hobbies, values, and skills. This will help you discover what parts of yourself you haven\u2019t pursued, and those can lead you to new career ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, considering building on your career capital. That is, think about your existing career skills and experiences, and how they can apply to related fields. You may find new career ideas that aren\u2019t so far off from what you\u2019re doing now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speak with people in and outside your network.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t pass up the chance to seek help choosing a new career from people whose opinions and input you value. That can certainly be family and friends who know your personality and your interests well. But don\u2019t forget about the network you\u2019ve built up during your existing career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the people who know your skills, talents, and accomplishments very well. And they likely know people who\u2019ve decided to make career transitions, too. They can point you in the direction of new careers and schooling options that would be perfect for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pursue your education at AOLCC.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Changing careers can be a scary notion, especially as an adult. That\u2019s why the Academy of Learning structures its programs to have plenty of real-world education and hands-on training. By choosing to study for your new career at AOLCC, you\u2019ll be able to choose start dates and scheduling that works for you. There\u2019s plenty of versatility and assistance when it comes to fitting education into your life, and you\u2019ll see: developing those new career skills doesn\u2019t have to be difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, don\u2019t stop networking.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keep in touch with your contacts, even during your studies. Letting them know about the new career skills you\u2019re building (and how much you\u2019re enjoying your new direction) will keep you at the top of their minds. That can pay off when you\u2019re finished your education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once you\u2019re in your new career, keep in touch with existing contacts outside your industry. You never know where your next opportunity can come from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
