How do you change your career?

Fifty years ago, it was commonly accepted that once you started work at a good company, you would stay there  for your entire career.  Today, most people stay in one position no longer than two or three years, and it is normal to change careers several times during your working life.

However, most of us have never learned how to manage a job change, much less a transition to a completely new career.  The Aspyrre career transition program takes you through the entire process:

  1. Figure out if you really want to change careers, or if a less dramatic change at work will give you what you need.
  2. Re-assess your skills, interests, and values to pull out what brings you the most joy and success.
  3. Gather information on new careers through research and information interviewing
  4. Choose a new target career and put together a transition strategy
  5. Re-evaluate your background, to pinpoint relevant accomplishments that relate directly to your new target position
  6. Re-write your resume
  7. Prepare for interviews and opportunities to make a pitch in a non-interview situation
  8. Network to find new opportunities
  9. Set up meetings, make pitches, refine your approach based on your results
  10. Choose a new position
  11. Assimilate into your new organization
  12. Re-develop your career plan based on your new situation

How it Works

The complete transition process may take six months or it may take several years.  That depends on you and your individual situation.  If you have a clear idea of what you want, and are willing to get out and talk with people about it, you will see results faster.  The biggest challenge most clients run into is fear and loss of self-confidence, which makes it tough to get out and network.  Another challenge is being pulled in by changes in your current job situation.  Sometimes you know you have to leave, and other times things don't seem so bad, or you are so immersed in doing your work that you don't have time to think about it.

Because this will be an emotional and stressful time, whatever your situation, the career transition program includes a high level of support, from personal coaching designed to build your confidence and communication skills, to structured accountability programs where you report your actions on a daily basis.  We design your program around what works best for you, with the overall objective of providing you with the strategy, structure, and support you need to move forward at the pace you desire.
