Who says career change must be scary?

Change. The very word can sometimes produce fear in many people. Why? Because lurking behind the word change is oftentimes the word unknown, and for most people it’s the fear of the unknown which makes them afraid of change.

When it comes to making career changes, the fear of the unknown is what keeps people paralyzed, which also keeps them stuck in unfulfilling jobs, hating to go to work every day. At least it’s known, right? And, for most people, a crappy known beats an unknown any day, even if that unknown will eventually make someone happier.

Transitioning Your Career Toward the New E-conomy: part II

Generally speaking, the IT industry is young compared to other disciplines such as medicine and law. Employers are often more concerned with work experience, enthusiasm, achievement, extra-curricular activities, and of course reliability rather than degree content. Aline Cumming, a consultant in IT and Education suggests that career changers need not worry about having a first degree in IT or Computer Science, citing that many employers provide training for new recruits in the specific technologies used within the work place and provide additional personnel tooling as newer technologies come on board.

Transitioning Your Career Toward the New E-conomy: part I

Through out our lives we all look back at the choices we’ve made and reflect upon their impact on who we are and what we have become. Some results are easier to measure than others. We can easily measure many of our choices by our wealth, position, and possessions. Others may be more difficult to quantify and might include love, happiness, reputation, and knowledge. The one saving grace for us as human beings is the opportunity to grow and change through the choices we make continues throughout our lives. Even as adults we have the desire and the need to keep learning, shifting, and adapting to the world around us. As we learn from our earliest childhood days, we are in fact in charge of our own destiny, each of us playing the cards of fate on a daily basis through the roads we take. One of the earliest decisions we face, perhaps at a time when we are least prepared is that of our career. At a young age we cast our lot in the direction of some ‘mysterious’ life long ambition. Some are lucky and are able to grasp the brass ring on the first try. Others, like myself may find that a career choice made years ago has turned out to be less gratifying than expected, forcing us to find completion in searching out new trends and acquiring new skills.
