Looking for a Career Change?



Do you feel overworked and undervalued?
Do you just know you are capable of more than this?
Are you feeling lost and unsure about where to go next?


Then you have come to the right place!


Welcome to
How To Change Careers


This site is designed to help you to work out what you want to do and how to make it happen.

There are plenty of websites out there to help you find job vacancies and improve your CV, but the comments I hear most often from my clients are...

'I am not happy in this job, but I just don’t know what else
I want to do.'

or

‘I know I want to do something different, but I haven’t got a clue about how to go about it.’



The good news is that this website will put the tools into your hands to answer those questions.

But you need to be ready to do your bit.

You need to be willing to take your time and put in some thought and effort into the exercises. If you do, then this website will help you sort out how to change careers.



What this site will do for you



What I aim to do is to take you through a step by step, carefully designed career change assessment process that will help you to really take stock of who you are, where you are and what you would really like to do with your career.

This is not something that can be done at one sitting! Remember that successful career change takes time.

You owe it to yourself to take that time to explore and discover as much as possible about yourself. You need to match that with research about the opportunities that are out there for you to take advantage of.

Once you have done that, you can pull all the ideas and information together and confidently identify the best career change options for you at this stage in your life.



How to use this site



This site is designed to help you find your way through the career change process. There are lots of ideas and exercises for you to try, so have a good look round. Explore the different stages, pages, exercises and quizzes.

There is a natural sequence to the process, so if you are really serious about career change, take a look at the page on how to use this site and it will guide you through what each stage involves.

Once you have read through, you will be ready to get started on a process that may not just change your career – it could change your life.



How can I help?



My name is Cherry Douglas. I am a UK based career change consultant and coach and I have worked in this field for over 20 years.

This means I have worked with hundreds of people planning a career change and helped them explore and discover their own personal priorities so they could identify the right work for them.

I have also been through career transition myself and so I understand how hard it can be sometimes to jolt yourself out of a comfortable but uninspiring rut.

This site shares with you some of the ideas and exercises that have worked well for many of my clients and for me too!

I hope the changing career advice that you can find here will help and inspire you to make your own career change happen.

You can read more about me elsewhere on this site.
