Do you feel stuck in your meaningless job because your ex-colleagues left and ended up in another meaningless job, your friends aren’t too far from that reality and your family members are either bankers, accountants, lawyers or engineers – the “typical Asian jobs”? And the people you follow on Instagram are all influencers and that’s not what you want either? Sure, you’ve heard about other careers or jobs online or in the news but you can’t picture something so far fetched?
So how do you make a career change?
Discover new career paths!
By delving into unfamiliar professions or industries, you open yourself up to possibilities you never knew existed. Just like how I stumbled upon the world of social enterprise and life coaching during my own career change journeys.
Moreover, you’ll discover how different career paths rely on distinct skill sets. For instance, I found that my knack for organization wasn’t crucial in finance, but it propelled me forward as a project manager. I found that my innate talent for listening wasn’t appreciated as much in finance, but it made me an expert in coaching.
This newfound awareness fosters a mindset of possibility which allows you to entertain a wider range of career options!
