Career Direction – Is it ever a good time?

Many jobseekers are miserable in their jobs but most of these will create excuses to stay put and never try to find career happiness.

Some would argue that jobseekers have an legitimate reason not to follow career dreams at this present time. What is that excuse? The big “R” word- recession. It is understandable that many jobseekers park dreams of a career change during difficult economic conditions – bills, mortgage and family considerations dictate decisions. Is this just another excuse? For most yes!! When things pick up again it will be something else.

So what stops jobseekers following their dreams? From experience it can be a wide range of factors but certainly fear plays a big factor. Fear of failure, fear of success and fear of the unknown. It is a scary experience no doubt and often our dreams seem to distant or big to achieve. The best advice I ever got was “lean into it”. Start small researching, asking question, talking to experts and see what materialises. You may be surprised.
