A new start
What are your reasons for wanting to change careers?
Is it mainly push factors, or pull factors, or a combination of both?
Or is it plain desire to want to change some career scenery?
Or simply mid-life crisis? yikes!
I would reckon a combination of push and pull factors.
In the absence of push factors. Let's say you are excelling and feeling good in your current role, some head hunter called you to present a wonderful career opportunity. Chances are you might hear the head hunter out, but I would also reckon a good percentage of the population would flatly decline that offer out simply because they will be too busy and focused on doing their current role.
So, I would argue that there must exist some form of push factors, however little there is. And the push factors need to go beyond a certain threshold, and this threshold differs from individuals to individuals. Once this threshold is breached, the individual will then be motivated enough to want to listen and be open to such other career opportunities. This individual will either apply directly to jobs, or put himself out there on the job market for recruiters to do the matching. This is a combination of push and pull factors.
With this in mind, do consider how to present yourself and how you portray and sell your expertise in today's labour market.
Stand out from the crowd.
