VIDEOS

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.

NEWS AND ADVICE

This article was developed by Lauren Schwahn for tuscan.com.

Indeed, she provides four (4) good ideas to help you in your process of getting a work from home job. Here are a few of her thoughts.

1. Build Your Skills

During these uncertain times, the greater number of skills at higher proficiency levels will increase your chances. Start evaluation if you should get a certification in your desired area, such as IT, project management or other.

2. Give Yourself Credit

You skills and qualification do NOT have to match the job requirements 100%. Play up the items you do have and do not apologize for anything you do not have.

Check out her article here to see more details and the rest of her tips.

CAREER CHANGE NEWS

Liz Bentley, an Executive Coach provides her guidance on the subject as reported by nbcnews.com.

She had several points that are worth considering:

The first and most important step to take is to embrace a change. The world is different and we should examine ourselves in light of that.

Additional points are to review your journey. Is this career change something that you were expecting? Critically evaluate your work leading up to the change. Were you as productive as you could have been?

A second major point is to embrace a growth mindset. Recognize that you will have to change and be willing to understand feedback.

A third point is build your confidence. Review your strong qualities and recall your successes. Visualize your self in your dream world.

She makes several other points that really help. See what you think of his article.

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.

It is easy to become frustrated, defeated and anxious during an interview. The best tact to take is to prepare. Realize that most people do not get the job in their interview. Even during a second interview, the odds of getting the job are only 25%-50%. Rejection is part of the job search process.

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