8) Finding a new employer

Step 8 of a 10 step career change plan

There are a number of ways to find an employer which every job searcher knows – classified adverts, internet job-boards, employer directories etc. Many jobs, however, are never listed in classified adverts and on job-boards because they are filled as soon as they are announced!

To make sure that you are in with a chance, you must develop a strong network in the career you wish to change to.

Your network should ensure that you are fully aware of all opportunities coming up in the career you wish to change to, what employers are looking for in their employees and how employers differ between themselves. Your network could include friends and family, but you should also extend it to include anyone and everyone who operates in your chosen field.
