There’s no time like the present to change careers. The labor market is improving and there are opportunities available in almost every field. This article outlines five steps every career changer must go through to land a new position. I use real life examples of people I have worked with to illustrate my points. These steps are as necessary for people with disabilities as they are for any job seeker. So put yourself in high gear and let’s start up the career change staircase.

Step One: Assess your skills and interests to make sure your career move is aligned with who you are.
Changing careers is not for the faint of heart. On average new careers take longer to find and you often start at a lower salary. Jim, a Human Resources Benefits Specialist in a manufacturing firm, was willing to accept these risks. He was tired of overseeing a series of layoffs at companies as they outsourced their jobs overseas. For the last two years the part of his job, he enjoyed most, was orienting new staff and training managers. “I knew I was a good trainer when I read my workshop evaluations. I had also taught at a local community college and the students appreciated me for how well I presented difficult material.”

Jim discussed these experiences, adding this information to the knowledge he gathered about himself from doing skills analysis and a career interest test. The results confirmed Jim’s original intuition about shifting from HR into corporate training.

Adrienne initially thought she had to change careers when she could no longer stand her accounting job. She had always loved her work until her department was folded into a larger financial unit and she was shuttled off to a windowless, back-office cubical abutting the elevator shaft. Instead of the energizing conversations with her colleagues she now heard only the steady swish of the elevator. Her first reaction was, “If this is how I’m treated, I no longer want to be an accountant.”

Adrienne reconsidered this idea in a career counseling session discussing her “work personality” and her ideal work environment. “I thought I wanted out of accounting but what I really want is a more people-oriented work environment.” She dropped her plan to become a librarian and is now seeking accounting work with an insurance company where team orientation is valued.

They flow in a natural direction and carry information with them from one point to another. The process of Value Stream Mapping is a by product of the Lean Manufacturing process pioneered by Toyota and the core fundamental is to identify the areas of waste which can be avoided within a manufacturing or office process.
