Take this opportunity to examine your feelings toward your current role. If you’re reading this, chances are you feel the career path you’re on might not be right for you. Understanding when it’s time to move on from your current role to pursue other passions can be a win-win for everyone. Most employers would prefer that you feel enthusiastic, engaged, and fulfilled in your role, because happy employees are more productive employees. What’s more, the notion of career fit is a two-way street. Career choices you may perceive as “missteps” often prove to be the most informative and transformational on the journey to a fulfilling career. For others, switching job functions mid-career may mean a lateral move, which can feel like a step backward-but it doesn’t have to be.Įach stage in your career provides an opportunity to learn more about yourself: your talents, interests, challenges, and workplace values. For some, it can mean deserting a stable job to head down an uncharted path. Taking action on these thoughts, however, can be daunting. So if you’re considering a career change, you’re not alone. In 2016 alone, roughly 6.2 million workers made the leap, leaving their current roles for work in an entirely different field. In fact, by age 50, the average person has held 12 different jobs in an effort to find the “right fit.” For many, this requires changing careers completely. Few people enter the workforce knowing exactly what they want to do. Finding a fulfilling career can be a long, incremental journey.
