You're embarking on a career change journey. How can you keep a positive mindset along the way?

Embracing change is an exciting opportunity as I begin my new career. Instead of viewing it as a challenge, I see it as a fresh start filled with possibilities. I’m actively seeking out ways to grow & discover what's possible for me in this new chapter. Change brings new skills, experiences, & a revival that will shape my future. With every move, I’m closer to becoming the best version of myself. This journey isn't just about a job—it's about embracing growth and unlocking my potential. Curiosity is my greatest ally in this. By staying curious, I will approach each new situation with an open mind and eagerness to explore. Every task, interaction, and challenge becomes an opportunity to learn something new, so I'm not just accepting change.

Para realizar uma migra??o para outra carreira, primeiro passo é aceitar o desafio da mudan?a, pesquisando sobre o mercado da nova carreira, entendo quais habilidades e aptid?es ser?o necessárias para essa transi??o, adaptando o currículo para a nova carreira, além de manter uma postura flexível e resiliente ao novo.

All our careers are about adapting to change as we develop update our skills, embrace new technology and try new things. Remember you can learn new things - you did before so will again. Remember as you evolve in career think about what areas you would like to do more of or indeed less of. Being clear about where you would like to evolve is a critical part of embracing change. Seek out people in your team or network that have acquired these skills. If transitioning roles, ask for a buddy someone that will help you onboard, share some bespoke team knowledge and help with the settling in period.

Importante para migra??o de carreira, estabelecer metas adotando o método SMART, isto é, as metas devem ser específicas, mensuráveis, relevantes..isso vai dar um senso de dire??o e propósito.

Careers are made up of both the short and longer term. It can be hard to create a goal around 5 years time so reframe the thought away from a title or specific role of interest to areas you might like to do more of/less of. For example if you want to manage people in the future, how could you make some steps into this today e.g. coaching a new team member so they pick up key role skills, leading a project where you collaborate with a group of people to deliver an initiative, getting involved in employee resource groups where you can develop your leadership skills - learn how to engage & lead a conversation around a common purpose etc. Chunk your goal into what you can do now towards that goal v 6 mths out or 12 months out.

Durante a mudan?a de carreira cultivar a rede de relacionamentos, networking é fundamental. O networking pode abrir portas para oportunidades, além de fornecer insigths e aconselhamento profissional.

If you are changing direction, consider who do you know in that field. Perhaps the answer is nobody! Check out key influencers that post regularly in this field and follow them. Watch who engages & interacts with their posts & follow or connect with them. As you understand more about the area add your own comment to a post. Do online or other learning options to grow your knowledge in the area. If you are a member of a professional body check out if anyone in the association works in the area you are interested in - meet for a coffee chat to talk to them.

Continuous learning was the game-changer for me when I shifted careers. The best way to stay positive during such a big transition is to embrace every chance to grow your skill set. Stay curious and you can find learning everywhere you go. Personal tip though? Don’t stress about knowing everything at once. Instead, enjoy the process. Think of it as building blocks: each bit of knowledge you pick up makes you stronger and more capable.

Everyone experiences setbacks at points in their career so dont feel discouraged. It will happen for you. Once you have had time to digest the rejection, consider reverting to them and asking for feedback so that you would be more successful in the future. Understanding the gap is a key part of moving forward. Reflect on how you turned up, what did you feel went well, what else could you have done?. What will you do differently on the next occasion? What steps are you putting in place today so that you work towards the future change?

Em uma mudan?a ou transi??o de carreira é essencial manter uma mentalidade positiva. Tenha em mente os motivos da sua mudan?a, os ganhos que você almeja, agregue hobbies e hábitos que te trazem equilíbrio e principalmente elabore um planejamento para esse momento.
