5 signs that it's time for a career change
12 MARCH 2024
Do you feel the urge to change jobs? Or at the very least, to diversify your professional life by pursuing a new activity alongside your current job, which is suffocating you?
Whether you're opting for a 360° career change or considering a period of transition while continuing your professional career, don't give in to impulse and take the time to look back over the past few years to mature your project!
At Elora, we're in a position to give you advice based on experience, because most of our VDIs (independent door-to-door saleswomen) have, at any age, joined our company at a decisive turning point in their personal situation!
JOB DISSATISFACTION IN ALL ITS FORMS
Desire for change : Sometimes, after a few years of stability, we feel the compelling need to embark on new adventures, explore new professions and leave our professional comfort zone.
Boosting your career : Retraining can be a lever for taking stock, advancing your career, using your CPF credit to finance training, acquiring new skills, or even a targeted diploma. In short, you can make the transition to more ambitious career goals.
Lack of development opportunities : When you feel stuck in your job within a company, with no prospect of promotion, considering a career change can be a chance to bounce back and join dynamic companies that are recruiting at the right level.
Relationship problems at work : An unhealthy working environment or strained relations with colleagues can make new career choices essential.
Sector instability the latest economic news is constantly revealing that previously flourishing sectors are in decline. Many of them are unstable, with worrying prospects. Retraining can help you move into a more promising sector and get started in a new profession.
The vagaries of fixed-term contracts : For an employee, a succession of fixed-term contracts, with no recognition and no hope of long-term recruitment, may lead them to consider retraining to obtain a more rewarding and lasting professional status.
Difficulties in obtaining a permanent contract finding a permanent contract can be difficult in certain fields, or on the other hand can seem restrictive: for example, if you don't want to settle for a range of thankless jobs, or in sectors that are not very dynamic. Retraining can diversify your options and open up your future.
Aspiring to a job that involves relationships and creativity if you've always aspired to interact with others, to unleash your creativity or to work in a more humane sector, professional reconversion could be the project you want to pursue, for a new life and work path.
Exploring new horizons : Retraining is a decisive step. It's an opportunity to take advantage of training (which can be financed, for example, using the CPF credit), acquire new skills, meet new people and get hands-on experience of a variety of professional situations.
In the final analysis, career change is a personal project, which needs to be tailored to your own choices, needs and ambitions.
Don't hesitate to listen to all these warning signs that it's time to get moving !
THE BALANCE BETWEEN PROFESSIONAL LIFE AND PERSONAL LIFE
Retraining is an important step that can bring you the new lease of life you need. Here are the main reasons that can (and should!) lead you to retrain:
-
Alignment with personal values : Some people want to pursue a career that is more in line with their deepest convictions and desires. Retraining enables them to find a job that resonates with their identity and ethics.
-
Boredom at work if you feel that you've had enough of your current job and that routine is getting in the way of your day-to-day life, a career change could offer you a new lease of life and some stimulating challenges.
-
Flexible working conditions : The search for a better balance between professional and personal life is often a decisive motivation for a career change. A career change can provide you with more satisfying working conditions.
-
Reaction to a professional incident redeployment: Following redundancy, restructuring or any other professional event, you realise that you need to make a change. Retraining can be an opportunity to bounce back and get back to a motivating job, while benefiting from public support if necessary and making the most of your CPF credit balance.
-
Health problems : Health problems such as burn-out or illness can prompt employees to take a step back and reconsider their careers in depth. Retraining can help them find jobs that are better suited to their health and well-being.
-
Increase in remuneration : For some people, retraining offers the opportunity to take up better-paid jobs, which are essential if they are to make ends meet, while at the same time training in a new field.
At the end of the day, career transition offers the chance to take stock, reinvent yourself, find personal fulfilment and embark on a new career path that matches your aspirations and your well-being.
