Career Change Resources

Links to websites to help with your career change

Career change resources can sometimes be hard to assess. There are just so many sites out there, how do you begin to work out what might be useful? And when you find a good resource, can you always find it again a week or so later?

My first tip is to remember that as you explore this and other web sites, be certain to add bookmarks or RSS feeds to those you like. This will help you to retrace your steps when you want to revisit the site.

As you can imagine, I have roamed widely round the internet to uncover useful resources and websites relating to career change. I am confident that the How To Change Careers website offers you lots of great tips on changing careers, but it can never be totally comprehensive.

So what I aim to grow over time with the links listed below is to give you some additional recommended career change resources to help you as you explore your career change ideas.

As you see, these are all areas that relate to finding a new career but are a step away from the core focus of this site, which is how to assess yourself and come up with a new career idea that will be right for you.

I have divided the additional career change resources I have found into a number of categories so it is easier for you to find things.
