Thinking of changing your job?

Most people spend more time planning their holidays than they do planning their careers.
If you are thinking about moving to a new area of work, don’t just go for the in thing or what all your friends are telling you you’d be good at. Ask yourself a few questions to figure out what you really want.

Here are some to get you started:

Why do you want to change your job or go back to work? Make a list of all the reasons, including the things you hate about your present or past jobs.

What do you want the job to give you? Write down everything you can think of and be as specific as you can, for example, if you write “job satisfaction”, say what that means for you, if you want more money, how much?

Which skills and talents do you want to use, and which new ones would you like to learn?
