Possibly time for a career change, but you are not sure
which direction to take? You are NOT alone! The Coronavirus pandemic is forcing many of us to reconsider our work and, perhaps, re-focus our careers. For other, it is simply time for a new career. In both cases, strategic planning makes sense.
A powerful tool used in strategic planning by corporations is S-W-O-T analysis. First, analyze your Strengths and Weaknesses. Then, analyze your external environment -- the Opportunities and Threats in your world. Career Coach Don Goodman shares how to use the SWOT process to send your career off it a great direction for you in this article.

It is NOT OK to wake up every day and dread going to work.
For many, if the pros of the role outweigh the cons, then the role is likely a decent fit – for now. But, these cons might be signs that it's time for a new career.
If one or more of the scenarios in this article are a standard part of your day, then it is possible a career change is in order, particularly if several of these signs apply to your current career. In this article, Career Change Expert Virginia Franco describes 7 signs that changing your career is a something you should seriously consider.
Career change is more complex now with online visibility
required, particularly on the most important social network for professionals -- LinkedIn. Your resume and job applications must agree with your LinkedIn Profile because most employers and recruiters compare the two.
So when you are making that career change and applying for jobs that are a bit out of your current career path, 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 highlighting how to make your LinkedIn profile support your career
change.
If you have retired, or are considering it in the near
future, and are wondering about continuing to work (with less stress and more enjoyment), this article by semi-retirement coach Nancy Collamer may be perfect for you.

Your second act career may evolve as your interests and needs change, or change quickly as you face other challenges in your life. Nancy walks you through 10 things that will help you find and get started on your second act career.
