Whether you are returning to the job market or have a significant work history with some gaps, change is coming and you need to prepare. Are you an empty-nester? Took a buy-out or an early retirement and now what? Have you been laid off and unable or unwilling to relocate? Newly divorced or separated? Bored to death, scared to death, or just stuck? You’ve been out of the marketplace for awhile and are contemplating a re-entry, but where do you begin?
Getting back on track means something different for everyone. Perhaps you simply don’t like the career path you’ve been on, yet the salary is good enough and the benefits are important and could be hard to duplicate elsewhere. You remember being inspired and excited about your career at one point, but the job market is tight and you think you are too old to make a change.
According to recent studies, only 30-percent of Americans feel engaged or inspired at their jobs, which leaves a huge number of unhappy people in the workplace. The reality is that most of us need to earn a living and too often we check-out or settle for less than we should. However, when you spend 40+ hours weekly in addition to commuting time, don’t you deserve more? It could be the best time to reconfigure your professional life.
Ask yourself several important questions:
What is your definition of work?
Do you believe that making money will make you happy?
Do you feel confident that you are exceptional at something?
Do you believe in yourself?
