The Career Change Programme...

Changing Career

Do you want to wake up in the morning and look forward to the working day?

Many of us lie awake in the morning and find it difficult to get that first foot out of bed - this doesn't have to be the case. It may seem like a dream to be able to wake up and look forward to the day but the opportunity exists for you to have exactly the kind of working life you want.

 

Is work a constant struggle to be interested and motivated?

So many people go to work everyday and struggle with jobs that just don't come easily or naturally to them which has a huge knock on affect to motivation - you can't enjoy your work whilst feeling this way and this is the primary cause of unneccessary work related stress and anxiety.

Do you feel as though your talents are wasted?

How many people sit at their places of work and wonder if there is a career out there that they are perfect for and that they would love. Whether you are fantastic with children or extremely creative not using your talents causes frustration and stress - not to mention being a missed opportunity to earn money doing something you are truly good at.

 

Do you want to know where your strengths and abilities lie?

What if you don't know what you are good at - many people have never had the chance to discover their unique strengths and abilities. Usually this is because life can move pretty fast and we end up making one snap decision after another about our lives without taking the time to really consider our options. It doesn't matter how old or young you are, it is never too late to find out what makes you tick and to put it to good use.

"CAN THIS REALLY BE IT?"

If you are considering changing your career this is probably a question you are very familiar with. We spend 70% of our lives at work - on average 5 days out of 7 - and it can be tough making the decision to change such a large part of your life for any number of reasons; money, timing, family ...

But once you have made the decision and decide to go for it, both your short and long term prospects will look much brighter. You will have something to look forward to, something to aim for and something to be proud of.

Changing CareerWorking Career will help arm you with all the insight into yourself you will need to make your decision with confidence and accuracy. Through the use of psychometric tests, questionnaires, coaching and counselling, you will gain a further understanding of:

  • Your natural abilities, strengths and talents
  • Your unique personality
  • Your interests
  • Your learning style
  • Your work values
  • The work environment that is right for you
  • Whether your current position is right or wrong for you
  • How to get the most from you current position if changing your career is not an option
  • What your next steps should be towards forging the right career for you

Once you've decided what you are going to do we can also help you to prepare a CV and give you interview training if you would like.

How do I go ahead with the career change programme?

  1. First of all contact Working Career via telephone, email or fill out the contact form to arrange an initial free discussion to find out which programme you would be best suited to.
  2. We will then be able to give you a recommendation as to what the career programme you have chosen would entail, how long the process will take and what the cost will be.
  3. Once this has been agreed and payment has been received, we will post and email you the necessary materials and arrange sessions either by telephone or face to face.
  4. When you have completed the career programme, we will stay in touch with you for as long as you feel is necessary to keep you motivated and on the right path.

Our full career change programmes cover the exploration of important areas that affect your future choices, such as values, abilities, personality, skills, personal style, family background and goals. However, if you just want to take one online test that will help you to decide what your future holds - the best thing you can do is take the Highlands Ability Battery.
