Anita Attridge, a Five O’Clock Club career and executive coach, says there are two important aspects to consider when you start thinking about a career change. “The first is to clearly understand what you want to do; the second is to understand what the marketplace will allow you to do,” she says. You need to know what is important to the hiring managers in this new field, and what skills and experience are required. Then you need to figure out if you’ve got what it takes.
How do you do that? More self-reflection and research.
