9 . If you’re considering changing careers, here are some steps to guide you through a change in your career path.

Take a personal inventory (清单). Consider your reactions to your current job and how they impact your job satisfaction.     1    , when you have time. Ask yourself tough questions like, “What is it about my job that I do or don’t like?” Answer them, then read your answers. From your own notes, you’ll begin to see a picture of what job satisfaction looks like for you.

Decide if you want to change industries.     2    , though you are discovering more about yourself and what satisfactory work means to you. For some, switching careers might mean starting over in a completely new industry, while others may seek a new occupation within the same one.

    3    . With your career shift narrowed down to a few job types you may take, you’re able to begin more extensive exploration. One way to learn more about a field of interest is to conduct informational interviews with people in that field.     4    .

Make an action plan. Creating your action plan means defining a clear goal and milestones (里程碑) to complete it. By this point, you’ve done all the research and should be able to narrow your career change to a specific occupation.     5    . Think about things like education and certification, skill development, attending networking events and seizing opportunities to practice within the specific industry or field. Write down what steps you plan to take and a timeline to completion.

A．Research potential job matches

B．Ask others in your professional network

C．It’s time to consider what it will take to get there

D．Write down notable events and how they make you feel

E．This will help you decide if the industry or field is a good fit

F．You should also define in what way you want to change career paths

G．For example, if you’re into IT industry, talk to those who are experts in this area
