Staying flexible to achieve your career change dreams

Step 10 of a 10 step career change plan

Finally, now that you’ve made the biggest step and chosen to pursue a career change, don’t rush it! It may take a month or even a year to work out exactly what you want from your career change and to develop the skills, experience and network to get you into the right place within that career. Don’t settle for something which is ‘almost right’ or you’ll be going through the whole career change process again!

Equally, however, treat the process as a voyage of discovery. Your career change plans might themselves change as you find out more about what you like doing, who you like working with and what you want to get out of your career change. It’s all part of the journey, and as the ancient proverb goes, sometimes it’s better to travel than to arrive.

Best of luck with your career change!
