Career Change & Executive Coaching

We were speaking earlier about career change individuals flinging open the windows in an energetic manner and believing that if they tried every avenue they would conquer the job market. The sister-mistake and perhaps in many ways THE BIGGEST mistake of them all is to think that your chances are much GREATER if you are open to everything.
 
When applicants come to me and tell me that they are not sure about what they want to do, they say: “I want to see what's out there.” Or “I'll get a job on the checkout at Aldi if I have to.” I tell them they must be confusing their ‘career change' with dating. You can meet some nice people in a single's bar but the serious partners you meet elsewhere.
 
Twenty-first century career change is personal, specialised, sophisticated and if you want a long-term relationship – it is going to take some serious research, decision-making and promotional flair.
 
The key to a great job is to get in on the ground floor in competitive niches before everybody starts doing it; develop a specific area of knowledge and expertise that will be in demand now and in the future or lock-in an opportunity to take a mature industry to take it to the top of it's class. You can't stay wide open and hope to be discovered.
