VIDEOS

Reshaping the story of your career

Very interesting presentation by Joseph Liu given at TEDxCardiff. He does three things in this video.

  • He tells his own career story as he moved away from his medical career.
  • He identifies three lessons from career changes.
  • He provides questions to determine when it is time to move on.

This video is 17:38 minutes long which may seem long. But it sure packs a punch. I know you will get a great deal out of it.

Feel free to provide me feedback on my contact page.

The Part Of The Job Search No One Talks About (That Can Make Or Break Your Success)

Dawn Graham developed this article for forbes.com. It covers a topic that you don’t hear much about while changing careers.

Are you ready for the emotional journey you are about to undertake? That is the key.

Other key points she makes are to check your expectations, take responsibility, identify your triggers, practice being objective, and get support.
