Not many people are bold enough to change careers, especially if this means leaving behind their teams or moving to a new industry.
In a People in Transition podcast, career coach Cord Harper discusses some tips and techniques you can use whenever you are changing jobs.
According to Harper, looking for a job means you’ll have rejections, so you want to have an accountability partner who will help you deal with the emotions tied up in rejection.
He recommends:
– Managing your internal emotions/ communications throughout the transition process.
– Having a work plan to help guide you through the transition.
– Polishing up your LinkedIn profile and making it an essential part of your marketing.
