The How To Change Careers website is designed to help you to work out what you want to do and how to make it happen.

There are plenty of careers websites out there which focus on helping 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 get the career change you want



What this site will do for you



What I aim to do is to take you through a step by step, carefully designed self assessment process step by step, carefully designed self assessment process that will help you to really take stock of:

  • who you are,

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 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 wanting to change careers and helped them explore and discover their own personal priorities so they could identify the right work for them.
