Welcome!
You have chosen the statement:
"I am out of work and looking for a better job ".
You are being smart to use this turning point to plan your career path instead of just taking "the next job that comes along."
- "You now find yourself in a state of transition - unemployed or underemployed in a temporary "fill-in" job just to bring in a little income.
- You're hoping that your next job will be a better fit for your interests and/or your personal and financial needs.
- Perhaps you are willing to consider pursuing training to bring your skills up-to-date in your current or a related occupational field."
Since the work world is a different place these days, a smart "career entrepreneur" sees the reality that lifelong learning is not just a pastime or luxury, but a necessity. Possessing up-to-date training can improve your chances to get a better job at a higher level with higher pay, more responsibilities, or with a better company.
Your Career Coach would like to share with you a few ways that you can maximize your chances to improve your career path. Remember that you may end up making short-term plans and long-term plans to meet your career goals.
