QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE CHANGING CAREERS
1. Am I dissatisfied with my career or only with my job? Could I
find satisfaction in a related job within the same field?
2. Are the working conditions the motivating factor for a change?
3. If so, could I change my environment or my attitude?
4. Do I wish to express certain values on the job that I can't in
my present occupation?
5. Do I feel as though I could use more of my abilities and skills
in another occupation?
6. Do I have an understanding of my personality and the type of
work I would prefer?
7. Do I know what my vocational interests are?
8. Have I taken an inventory of my skills and know what my
marketable skills are?
9. Have I acquired new skills that I have not had the opportunity
to use in my present occupation, though I would like to?
10. Am I willing to make sacrifices to start all over in a new
occupation such as taking a salary cut? Are the people
dependent upon me also willing to make sacrifices?
11. Can I enter a newly chosen occupational field without
retraining or further education?
12. Will my functional skills transfer to the occupation I am
considering or must I develop new skills?
13. Do I have alternative plans or are all my "eggs in one basket"?
14. Is there any way to try a new career without quitting my
present full-time job?
15. Exactly what will I be giving up and what will I be gaining by
changing careers?
16. Have I considered what I will lose in seniority, my retirement
fund, and other benefits?
17. Do I have the patience to spend the time in an entry-level
position to reach new career goals?
18 What are the future projections for this new occupation?
19. How willing am I to take risks such as risking not being happy
in a new occupation? Would I be willing to make another switch
if that happens?
