Have you had a change of career ideas?
- I want to quit my job
- I need to do something more fun
- This just isn’t for me
- Something doesn’t feel right
- I’ve got to where I wanted to be, but it’s not enough
- I have to make a difference
- I want to escape the city
A change of career ideas is fantastic. Whatever your reasons, know that you’re not alone and that you’re part of a small group making radical, life-enhancing decisions.

Change of career ideas
What is it that you’d rather do? Or do you just know that what you’re doing now isn’t right? You should come to a Tell It Like It Is event, where people tell their story of career transitions.
If you’re stuck for career change ideas, you definitely need to take some time out. Spend a weekend doing something you love. An activity of some kind. Recognise that perhaps it’s the time you’re looking for, not necessarily a whole new career. OR, spend a week trying out a new job – see what works for you. You want to test it out before dumping everything – try and develop a hunger for it.
When you change careers, you need a lot of energy for it. And this has to come from somewhere. Whether it’s inspiration or a real acknowledgment of what you could be doing, you’ve got to get it.
To develop ideas for changing career, go networking. There are tons of MeetUps where people get together based around an interest – including to share ideas. Here you can meet people, listen to their stories, ask them questions about their careers, and figure out what interests you and what doesn’t.
