changing careers/jobs:
considering a change: exploring your options
it could even be just because your career or job isn't what you thought it would be, your career you decided to get a college degree to do could have not been what you expected it to be in the real world or it would be the career the old you wanted but not the career the new you wants.

developing a plan: mapping your moves
* because you're not happy-before giving up though consider if there might be a way to stay and solve the problem.
* because you want to grow-if you feel unfulfilled or unchallenged it might be time to move on.
* because your job is terminated- you can prepare for an unexpected job loss by staying alert to signs of trouble.

making the change: burning no bridges
* same job new company- if you enjoy your job (career) but not your employer. this means that you enjoy your career you have chose but you do not enjoy working for the company that you are working for, because you don't enjoy working with the employees at that company.
* new job,same company- you decide you just don't like what you're doing. you enjoy working at that company but just need a change in what you do in that company.
* start over- do something completely different such as a hobby into a career. for example if one of your hobbys is cutting and designing hair or doing different nail art then you could make a career out of that.
when you leave a company don't go around on social media or talking face to face with someone talking bad about that company. you never know when you might need that company as a reference or need a job at that company in the future and if they hear about what you said to someone about their company or saying bad things about that company on social media then they wont give you a reference or hire you back.

beginning the new journey: showcasing your experience
* because you have already been out in the work of work, you have more data available for you than you did before. think about your skills and the tasks you enjoy most.
* make a list of jobs and careers you are interested in.
* research the jobs/careers you might be interested in.
*when you have found a new job give proper notice to your current employer. a official written statement that you are leaving.
* don't slack off at your current job just because you are leaving. (this might make your employer give a bad reference on you to your new employer that could cost you your new job and possible your old job also.
*whatever you do DO NOT criticize the company. no matter how dissatisfied you have become NEVER criticize the company (on social media or in a conversation with anyone). just because you don't enjoy your current career/job doesn't mean you should ever go around criticizing the company, you never know who could hear about you criticizing them and you never know when you will need a job at that company or a job reference.
