Career Change - Work isn't "Work" if You Like It - It May be Time for JobSwap™

"Every minutes pass as though it were hours."  Have you ever had similar thoughts?  People around the world think these thoughts every minute of every day.  The key is to act on these thoughts and feelings.  If you are no longer challenged by or satisfied with your career, but you don't know what you want to do, CareerCrafter™'s JobSwap™ program will help you create an exciting, meaningful career that not only fits your interests, skills, values and personality, but also your lifestyle and vision of your life.  

Using the JobSwap™ process, you and your career specialist will:

• Discover your interests, skills, values, personality and preferred work environment;
• Analyze past experiences to identify prime motivators and recurring career patterns;
• Analyze your beliefs about yourself, work and success
• Identify and remove obstacles to your career and personal success;
• Develop career options and then zero in on the best career fit.
• Create an effective resume, geared for this career.
• Develop a solid career strategy for finding a job in this new field - and for exiting the old one.

The JobSwap™ program is a 12 session program held over a  3 month period.  The following represent the basic steps of the JobSwap™ program. 

Step 1:  Taking Stock; An in-depth look at YOU.

Assessment of your interests, values, personality, preferred work environment and perceived skills.  The results of each assessment will be interpreted for you by your Career Specialist, with your input and feedback. 

Using you’re your Job Swap workbook and working closely with your Career Specialist, discover your prime motivators and pinpoint early aspirations that can be indicators of possible careers.  Identify obstacles to success and negative recurring career patterns.   Examine your beliefs about success, career and work, reframing those that keep you from achieving a satisfying career and living your best life.

Step 2:  Develop Career Options

The in-depth assessment process will result in the development of several good career options that will best fit your personal lifestyle, educational level and financial goals.  Whether your new career choice is self-employment, landing a certain job, changing careers or creating a totally new job, you will be guided through the process of exploring each option.

One of the unique advantages of JobSwap™ is the opportunity to identify and interview professionals currently engaged in the type of work you think you want to do.  Their advice and input, based on practical, real life experience can bring you much closer to that ideal job.

Step 3: Develop an action plan and career strategy  

Now that you’ve decided which career option works best, your Career Specialist will work with you to develop a solid career strategy and an action plan that clearly lays out a path for career success.  Your career strategy will be unique, reflecting your own needs and goals.  Your JobSwap™ workbook contains many of the elements that you will need to formulate plans and for goal setting.

Step 4: Create a great resume to target your “ideal job”

Now that you know “what you want to do when you grow up”, it’s time to write a very targeted resume.  With the right focus and the presence of key words and acronyms, your resume is much more likely to gain the attention (and interest) of hiring managers in your new chosen field.   You’ll be well on your way to getting that “ideal job” and living your best life.
