5 Roadblocks for Career Changers to Overcome

5 Roadblocks for Career Changers to Overcome Here are just five roadblocks you might encounter on the way to your new careerâ€"and how to overcome them. You’ve been working in your career for what feels like forever. And truth be told, you’re itching for a career change. But myriad thoughts and fears are preventing you from taking that next step. While you might face some bumps in the road as you make the transition from your old career to your new one, there’s nothing that you can’t do. Here are just five roadblocks you might encounter on the way to your new careerâ€"and how to overcome them. You’ll need to create a new network. Up until now, you’ve worked in one field, slowly climbing the corporate ladder. Most of the people you know are also in the same industry, too. So branching off into an entirely new field means that you’ll know no one, right? Wrong. When you’re a  career changer, it’s important to keep the contacts you already have while cultivating new ones. You might be surprised at how many people you know who have a connection to your soon-to-be career. You don’t have any skills you’ll need. Being a manager is quite different from being a baker. That doesn’t mean that the two careers don’t share common skills, though. Put pen to paper and write out all of the skills you’ve acquired in your previous career. Then, research all the skills you’ll need for your new one. You’ll probably see that both industries share some transferable skills. This should make you feel better about your upcoming career, knowing that you already possess some of the skills necessary to get hired. Read:  [amazon template=productasin=B00QO5K1LS] You’ll have to start at the bottom. You’ve worked for several years in your field, scoring accolades, promotions, and yes, new job titles along the way. You’re scared that a career change will bring you back down to the beginning all over again. That’s not necessarily true. Depending on the position that you’re applying for, you might not get a managerial position right out of the gateâ€"but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be serving coffee and making photocopies, either. Research various job opportunities in your desired career field and see which ones you might be qualified for. And remember: starting over doesn’t always equal entry-level. You won’t get hired because you’re not “qualified.” One look at your resume and it’s obvious to see that your expertise is in banking, not education. Naturally, you’re concerned that a hiring manager will see this and toss your job application into the trash, or that it won’t make it past the Applicant Tracking System (ATS), which might reject your resume outright. One way to avoid this conundrum is to redesign your resume. For starters, switch the format from a chronological one to either a skills-based resume or a functional resume, which will highlight your objective, list your core strengths, and focus on your achievements. You’re afraid of commitment. Sure, you’ve been dreaming of changing your career for quite some time now, but what if you dive head-first into it and realize that you don’t love it as much as you thought you would? It’s important to keep in mind that career changers don’t have to view this latest chapter in their career as an all-or-nothing venture. In fact, it might be a better bet to  find a flexible job  firstâ€"even while you’re still employed, if possible. By getting a part-time job, a remote job, or even some freelance gigs, you can test the waters of your new career before committing to it 100 percent. Change can be scary for anyone, but switching careers can be particularly frightening, especially if you’ve been in your industry for a long time. But by taking the necessary steps, you’ll ensure success (and happiness!) in your new career field, too.

How to Improve Your Twitter Profile for Your Career

How to Improve Your Twitter Profile for Your Career With time seeming at an ever-higher premium, it can be hard to find time to improve your career prospects whilst studying or working full-time. With Twitter, however, you can do it in only 140-characters. Follow potential employers: If you’re thinking about a career change or looking for a graduate job at a specific company, make sure you’ve followed them on Twitter. That way you can keep up-to-date with anything and everything that is happening with them. Whether they’ve just completed an important purchase or had a huge bake sale, you can use this information to your advantage in applications and interviews. Moreover, companies often have specific career-focused profiles, so follow these for information on vacancies, deadlines, etc. Clear out the dead wood: Once you’ve followed all your potential employers, your Twitter feed might start to become increasingly busy. If you haven’t got time to scroll through hundreds of updates every day, have a look at the people you’re following. We’ve all made the mistake of following amusing accounts which now result in viral spam and clickbait. Unfollowing someone only takes a second but could save you loads of time in the long run. If you really can’t bear to lose all that humour, consider making another Twitter profile, and separating work and social accounts. That way you can have all the career-relevant information in one place. Tweet about what you do: As well as reading other people’s tweets, make sure you are tweeting yourself on a regular basis. Whether you want to indulge in a bit of self-congratulation about something you’ve achieved, or you’re just really enjoying the latest episode of Downton Abbey, recruiters will want to know about you. They will use Twitter in the same way that you do; to find out what you are up to. Just make sure you don’t publish anything you might end up regretting. Watch out for breaking news: Nothing boosts your profile like an early opinion. Keep an eye on the latest news and developments and give your view on anything that interests you. That way you’ll show that you’re engaged with the world around you and you’ll quickly gain new followers. You can use the tool Twilert to set up alerts for certain keywords that will alert you to job opportunities or relevant discussions. Tweet at a company: Don’t be afraid to share your opinions directly with a company. If you want to discuss something they’ve said, just tweet them back. However, steer away from just tweeting generic tweets about job opportunities; they will probably just ignore you and it may reflect negatively on any application. Relevant tweets which engage with the company are much better. Make sure everything links together: Sometimes 140 characters just isn’t enough to say everything you want to. Make sure your profile links to places where you have more information about you. If you have a blog, share your posts via Twitter, or put a link to your website in your biography. Once you’ve put these steps into action, all that’s left is to keep on top of your feed. Check it regularly to stay up-to-date and don’t let yourself get too far behind. Read, tweet and interact and watch your career prospects bloom.

Dating When Youre Married To Your Job

Dating When Youre Married To Your Job Everybody works hard these days, and in a post crisis economy, none of us takes her job for granted. We work hard, we put in the effort, and we go the extra mile in the pursuit of getting noticed by the Kingmakers (or should that be Queenmakers) on the top floor. The world of work is a scramble today with many of us working harder and longer than ever.   But for the conscientious career girl it can feel like there’s that extra element of pressure. You’re flying the flag for female empowerment in the workplace, after all and as well as doing your job with aplomb.   You feel like you have to bear some responsibility to all the women and girls trying to make it behind you. With this kind of hectic work schedule, you could be forgiven for thinking that you have no business in the dating game. You’re married to your job and your career and it would be sacrilege to contemplate any kind of happiness outside of the realm of work. However, even if you’ve been out of the game for a while now, and even if you’re no longer sweating single, you owe it to yourself to find some pleasure in human companionship. Although its notoriously difficult for career women to find love, that’s absolutely no reason to settle for loneliness… or to settle for less than you deserve in a significant other. Digital dating: Dip your toe in those scary waters In the digital age there are more avenues than ever to pursue love, companionship or just casual flirtation on your own terms. From chatlines to dating sites to apps the modern world has so many means to meet single people in your area that it can be difficult to know where to begin. If you haven’t tried dating apps in the past you likely know someone who has. They will likely have either told you that you can meet the right someone if you’re patient or that all dating apps are chock-a-block with idiots. Go in with an open mind. While there certainly are some who feel that the pseudo-anonymity of dating apps entitles them to be an aggressively misogynist man child there are just as many decent guys on there who, like yourself, want to get into the realm of dating but just don’t have time. If you don’t want to be deluged with unsolicited messages from guys you might get on well with Bumble as it only enables women to make the first move. Workplace romance… It might not actually be a terrible idea If it worked for Pam and Jim, it can work for you too. Although it may come with some administrative baggage, workplace relationships aren’t always a terrible idea. Dating someone at work means that you don’t have to explain yourself nor does dating become a lucky dip in which you could end up with a lovely guy or a complete sociopath. The only trouble is that you will have less mystique with your date and if it doesn’t go all that well it may lead to Monday morning awkwardness.

Marc Miller on his Book Tour and More! [Podcast] - Career Pivot

Marc Miller on his Book Tour and More! [Podcast] - Career Pivot Podcast #150 â€" In this Third-Anniversary Episode, Marc Explores the Stresses and Successes of Touring to Promote the Third Edition of Repurpose Your Career. Description: Marc lays out his experiences during his recent tour for the third edition of Repurpose Your Career. He shares the places he visited, the people he met, and how he had to meter his energy and leave time for self-care to avoid depression. He found the trip exhausting, although he met most of his objectives on the trip. Marc is asking for your financial support for the Repurpose Your Career podcast. Please donate at Glow.fm/repurposeyourcareer to support this Podcast. Key Takeaways: [1:24] Marc welcomes you to Episode 150 of the Repurpose Your Career podcast. [1:35] If you are enjoying this podcast, please share it with other like-minded souls. Subscribe on CareerPivot.com, iTunes, or any of the other apps that supply podcasts. Share it on social media or just tell your neighbors and colleagues. The more people Marc reaches, the more people he can help. [1:53] This is Episode 150 and the third anniversary of the Repurpose Your Career podcast. Marc just finished the book tour for the launch of the book Repurpose Your Career, Third Edition. Marc is recording this episode in Austin, a bit on the exhausted side. [2:14] For the last month, Marc has been speaking, promoting the book, and meeting with people. Marc is a closet introvert while appearing to be an extrovert, so he is tired. [2:29] After recording, Marc and Mrs. Miller will start their drive back to Ajijic, Mexico. This week, Marc will keep the intro and outro simple and he will take you through his experiences of the last month on tour. Marc hopes you enjoy this episode! Now on to the podcast… Download Link |iTunes|Stitcher Radio|Google Podcast|Podbean|TuneIn|Overcast [3:00] On the afternoon of October 14, 2019, Marc is in Austin, Texas four weeks after leaving Ajijic, Mexico. On September 16th, Marc had pushed the ‘publish’ button on Repurpose Your Career, Third Edition. On September 17th, the Millers made their way to Austin, where they had lived for 40 years. [3:35] This trip started with emptying their storage in Austin, then a visit for Mrs. Miller to the clinic for a year’s supply of medicine not available in Mexico, then Marc’s high school reunion and book tour. Marc talked at a couple of Austin job clubs. [4:14] Marc was in Austin for a week before he headed up to New Jersey to visit his brother, present four talks at job clubs around New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and go to his 45th high school reunion. Then Mrs. Miller joined him to go to Washington D.C. Marc also did meet-and-greets with his online community. [5:17] In D.C. the Millers visited their son and daughter-in-law and combined the book tour with the trip for tax purposes. Marc tried out some new presentations on the tour and did some brand building. All told, the trip went well. [5:56] On this trip, Marc was around a lot of people. Although Marc spent years honing his public speaking skills and is good at it, he is an introvert, not an extrovert. He behaves like an extrovert but he gets his energy by being alone, not from being around people. Marc expected the trip to be exhausting and it was. [6:49] Marc flew to Newark, New Jersey Monday evening, spoke to a job club in Somerset on Tuesday evening and in Princeton, NJ on Friday morning. A planned visit with Richard Eisenberg of Next Avenue fell through. Also on Friday, Marc was interviewed by Andy Levine for the Second Act Stories podcast. [7:48] Marc found he had to meter his energy. He took some time visiting Princeton alone. On Saturday was Marc’s high school reunion. Marc didn’t enjoy his childhood or high school days. Marc had only been back to Central New Jersey once in 45 years, to stop in at his 25th high school reunion. [8:31] With some trepidation on Saturday night, Marc walked into a reunion of 150 strangers he had not seen for 45 years. Earlier in the day, Marc had run a meet-and-greet in Metuchen, NJ at a Whole Foods. One person had come but that was fine with Marc. [9:49] In a class of 800 graduating, Marc hadn’t made many friends, except with his Track teammates. Most of those friends didn’t show up at this reunion. Marc stayed to the end of the party, and when a bunch of people went out afterward, Marc went back to his hotel. He had had enough of people. [10:35] The uncertainty around who Marc was going to meet at his high school reunion caused Marc to experience certain symptoms of depression. Marc has learned over the years to spot the physical signs of depression before he gets depressed. All week, Marc was watching for the signs. [10:58] Sunday, rather than going out for brunch with some classmates, Marc drove around Central New Jersey, exploring places he hadn’t seen in decades â€" his high school and grade schools, the East Brunswick neighborhood, the house he grew up in. Many things had changed, but not everything. [11:45] Marc spent a lot of time observing how he was reacting to being around people. He recalls how he behaved at his nephew’s wedding in May. He had switched back and forth between how he wanted to behave and how he had been trained to behave, as a “geek that could speak.” [12:25] Mrs. Miller joined Marc and they drove to King of Prussia, Pennsylvania; that evening Marc spoke at a job club in Philadelphia and the next morning to a group in King of Prussia. Marc was exhausted and was experiencing anxiety and frustration. [13:40] Marc got through the job club presentations pretty well and then he crashed, “big-time.” That afternoon, they turned in the rental car and got on a relaxing train ride to D.C. to find their hotel. Throughout the week, Marc had to meter his energy and stay away from people. He spent a lot of time alone. [14:46] Many of us have to act in our careers. Marc was paid pretty well to act differently than his introverted nature would have preferred to act. It exhausts him. [15:06] Marc recounts some problems on the trip, including misplacing his credit card and needing to get it replaced. His author copy books from Amazon KDP were going to be a week late. So Marc canceled that order and ordered retail copies to ship to the various job clubs he was going to visit. [18:13] All during this time, Marc was careful of his self-care. His reunion experience with people he used to know a bit was stressful and different than he had expected. [19:09] In D.C., on Saturday, Marc held a meet-and-greet with six or seven people from the Career Pivot Online Community. Marc talked to Kerry Hannon, with whom he has cooperated on a few articles. Kerry was a guest on CareerPivot.com/episode-141. Marc and Mrs. Miller spent two days with their son. [20:02] This trip has been an emotional roller coaster ride to be around so many people, in spite of how kind people are when he speaks at events. Marc donated 10 books to each event, with the proviso that they sell the books to their members for a donation. When you pay for a book, you will read it. [21:13] The Millers flew back to Austin on October 13 for orthodontist and audiology appointments as well as shopping for tall and thin clothes sizes they don’t find in Mexico for Marc and will have driven back to Ajijic starting the afternoon of October 15, to Laredo and then to Matehuala on October 16. Wandering livestock make night driving difficult. [23:51] The Millers like to stay at the Las Palmas Midway Inn before leaving the next morning for Ajijic on October 17. [24:27] This is the third anniversary of the Repurpose Your Career podcast. Marc talks about the experience of the last 18 months of living in Mexico. The trips back to the U.S. are very interesting, although exhausting, as Marc observes who he is now. He has left behind his work persona and does not want to behave anymore as he did at work. [25:15] Marc wants you to think about what you have made yourself into, what you want to do in the second half of life, and what it will take to get you there. [25:33] Marc hopes you enjoyed that episode. Many of you may be able to see yourselves in Marc’s experiences on tour. [25:48] If you are interested in the Career Pivot Membership Community, please go to CareerPivot.com/Community. [25:56] Marc invites you to connect with him on LinkedIn.com/in/mrmiller. Just include in the connection request that you listen to this podcast. You can look for Career Pivot on Facebook, LinkedIn, or @CareerPivot on Twitter. [26:11] Please come back next week!

Top 5 reasons to let employees telecommute - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Top 5 reasons to let employees telecommute - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Should a company let its people telecommute? Is it good or bad for productivity? Does working from home make employees more stressed because it blurs the boundary between work and private life? Or is it good for families because it cuts down on time commuting and gives people more time at home? And is it true that most of the employees who work from home do so in the nude? Pennsylvania State University have just published a meta-study that looks at these questions. Its called The Good, the Bad, and the Unknown About Telecommuting: Meta-Analysis of Psychological Mediators and Individual Consequences. Catchy, huh? The study analyzes the results of 46 other studies on telecommuting involving a total of 13.000 employees. The overall conclusion? Telecommuting is good for both employees and for the workplace. You can find the whole study here (pdf). Main findings Here are the findings that struck me as being the most interesting. For some reason, the study completely neglected to look at the nude/clothed aspect of telecommuting. On that one, your guess is a good as mine. 1: Telecommuting gives employees a sense of freedom at work In other words, you feel that you have more control over your work environment. In fact, this turned out to be the root cause of many of the other effects found in the study. 2: Telecommuting is good for the family A lot of people fear that telecommuting harms family life because it blurs the boundary between work and private life and pressures people to work when theyre at home. This study found that the opposite is true and that telecommuting reduced conflicts between work and family. From the study: The main effects of telecommuting 3: Working from home 1 or 2 days a week does not harm relations to co-workers or managers However, working from home 3 days had a positive effects on the family, but also had a negative effect on workplace relationships. The study also says that managers must adapt to accommodate telecommuting, or it wont work: 4: Telecommuting makes employees more productive The study looked at both self-perceived efficiency and how efficient managers thought their telecommuting employees were. And while employees themselves did not feel more productive, the study did find a positive link between telecommuting and the managers rating of employees efficiency. The study also looked for signs that spending less time in the office would harm employees career expectations by giving them less time to demonstrate value to managers. The study found no indication of this. 5: Telecommuting makes people happier at work There was a positive link between telecommuting and job satisfaction. The study also showed that employees who can work from home are less likely to quit. My take All of these findings make a lot of sense to me, and it just underlines what I always say: Who knows better than you, when and where you do your best work? Ive always assumed that the employees of any given company are responsible adults, capable of making decisions for themselves. If theyre not, why were they hired in the first place? The great thing about this study is that it clearly suggests that even though the effects may not be huge huge, telecommuting is good for both employees and for the workplace. Your take What about you? Do you work from home? Would you like to? How would working from outside the office a few days a week affect you? Related posts How I wrote my book in a caf?

Where Can I Get Help With Writing a Resume?

Where Can I Get Help With Writing a Resume?The answer to the question, 'Where can I get help with writing a resume?' depends on the qualifications of the applicant. If you are applying for a career in administration, you will need a good typing skill and plenty of letters of recommendation, plus some experience in handling people who know what they want, and have no clue about what they really want. On the other hand, if you are applying for a managerial position that doesn't require a lot of managerial experience or ability, you may want to spend a little more time getting down your resume before you send it out.To write a resume, you need to know where to start, how to structure it, and what the right places are to add information. The first step is to decide what you want to say. Is it going to be an interview?Would you like to sell yourself or would you rather get an interview? How do you want to present yourself? These are the questions that you need to ask yourself before you b egin to put together your resume.The next step is to build a general resume that will include the information that you need to know about the job you are applying for. This can include your name, contact information (phone number, home and cell phone numbers, email address, etc. ), education information, work experience, as well as any experience or hobbies that may have been relevant to the job you are applying for.You should then place these details into a job description. Start by listing your education and experience, whether you received a degree or certificate, and the length of the experience. It is important to write down the basics of the job you are applying for, because if you miss this step, your resume may be overlooked.Next, you should list all of your past employment, as well as any supervisors you may have had during that time. When preparing a resume, you should always make sure that you are leaving enough room for the interviewer to see anything else that is releva nt. Keep in mind that employers aren't necessarily going to ask you about your previous employment and that it is okay to leave out the details of your past positions.After you have listed all of your previous positions, you can then move on to the different sections of your resume. Some of the sections may be more important than others. You should make sure that you are following the steps described above, but you may need to add a few sections that are not considered to be as crucial.The next thing you should do is make sure that the resume that you create is grammatically correct. Use the Internet to research the best ways to structure resumes so that you can get the most benefit from it. Also, make sure that your resume has plenty of room for your cover letter, which may be one of the most important parts of your resume.
