Busted: Job Search Myths Hurting Your Career Change

A job search can be tough if you haven’t done one for a few years. Family and friends often weigh in with their advice (based on a job search 10 years ago). Today, over 2 million LinkedIn members are experts in job search or careers offering their insight.

So, it is not surprising that job seekers feel overwhelmed -- and probably more than a little bit confused – by all the conflicting advice available to them. In this article Career Change Expert Virginia Franco debunks common 5 job search myths so you can proceed to success.

Profiles of Career Change – How 3 Job Seekers Made Successful Career Pivots

For this article, Career Change Expert Virginia Franco interviewed 3 career changers from different industries as they successfully navigated to their new careers. Each of these job seekers wanted to make significant changes to their careers.

Each was at a different starting point in their careers, with different goals (including new locations), and different hurdles to overcome. Read how each created a job search plan, a framework for structuring their job search routine, and a strategy to overcome obstacles.

LinkedIn for Career Changers

Career change is more complex now with online visibility required, particularly on the most important social network for professionals -- LinkedIn. When you are making that career change, your LinkedIn Profile needs to show that you didn't accidentally apply for the wrong job.

In this article, Career Change Expert Virginia Franco walks you through the sections of your LinkedIn profile so you can edit and adapt them to support your career change, resumes, and job applications.

Overcoming Fears of Career Change

Most of us change jobs at least twice a decade, and often those job changes also involve career changes – a new industry or profession. Changing your career can be very scary to even consider, but don’t let fear stop you.

Understand that fear is normal and acceptable as you go through the process of changing careers. Career Change Expert Randi Bussin offers strategies for understanding and addressing your careers to take your career reinvention forward one step at a time.
