    How to make that mid-life career change11

    WHEN preparing for a mid-life careerchange, its often best to start bytrying to understand how the world ofwork has changed since you beganyour working life.For those who started working

    many years ago, the world haschanged drastically. Business has be-come ever more globalised, the local,national and international jobs mar-kets have seen trends such as out-sourcing and virtual workforces andof course, the recent global financialcrisis continues to impact both in-dividuals and organisations alike.We asked Simon North, career ad-

    vice expert and founder of careerchange consultancy Position Igni-tion, for his advice for those lookingfor a change.He said: The process of career

    change in our middle years can beoverwhelming and confusing but itbecomes a lot easier when brokendown into different steps or stages.Here are his practical takeaway tips

    on what to do for a successful mid-lifecareer change: Think about it. Instead of rushinginto a career change by trying to grabthe first job you can find, take sometime to get clear on what you wantand plan how to get it. What type ofcareer do you want and why? Whatmight be the best channels for shift-ing to that field? Be realistic and smart ab o u twhat your viable options are. Thecontracts for the kind of work youwant may well now be more flexible

    than they have been in the past.Part-time roles and short-term con-tracts are becoming more prevalent. Reconsider your boundaries. Doyou need to earn the amount youthink you need to? If youve paid offyour mortgage and your childrenhave flown the nest and finished theireducation, perhaps you dont need asmuch as you did when you embarkedupon your current career. If it turnsout you can maintain your currentlifestyle on less money perhaps youcan commit to less hours in your nextcareer, therefore widening the choice

    of positions that match your criter-ia. Do your research. Once you knowwhich career you want to move to,research everything about it, thepeople who succeed in such a pro-fession and the types of organisationwhere you might find the position ofyour choice. Research can take anyform from browsing the internet towork shadowing. Talk to your existing connections.Even when youre aiming for a newcareer, old contacts can be of muchvalue. You never know who might be

    able to give you vital information orwho they might be able to introduceyou to. New connections are of course alsohelpful, so attend networking events,conferences and seminars withinyour chosen new field to meet peoplewho will help you in your goals andbuild your network. Think you havent had a job in-terview since you were 18? Thinkagain. Even when we think were notbeing interviewed, we may well be.When was your last c o nve r s at i o nwith a purpose around your current

    work or in your current organisa-tion? That is what an interview is, aconversation with a purpose. Perhapsyo u ve had to re-apply for a positionbecause your company is restruc-turing or maybe youve hadone-to-one meetings with your su-perior over promotions or pay rises.These all count as interviews, so youa re nt as rusty as you think. Takewhat worked for you during theseinterviews into your future job in-t e r v i ew s. Prepare for entry into work. Ifyo u ve been out of work for a while oryour new career is significantly dif-ferent to your previous one, its asmart idea to prepare for entry intothis new field. Expand your skills setby taking relevant short courses atyour local further education collegeor through distance learning. Getpractical work experience in yournew area by volunteering or offeringpro bono services to your network.

    Time to stand out and start networking

    15ADVICE: Develop contacts with prospective employers so they know the real you

    CVs are so yesterday! For as long aswe can remember, the CV has beenthe passpor t to jobs and to work.But it is such a one-dimensional doc-ument in so many ways.It usually starts at the moment

    where weve finished full-time edu-cation and ends up being a list of jobsthat weve done for different organ-isations. It has its use as far as it goes;which frankly isnt very far.Those reading it (in the recruit-

    ment sector particularly) probablyspend less than a minute reading thecover letter and the CV (typically twopa g es).It doesnt matter whether its a

    recruitment agency or an internalHR department, the CV gets pro-cessed pretty much the same way. Insummary, the CV makes it easy,makes the users lazy, its a boringdocument and it is anything but com-prehensive. It suits the intermedi-aries, but not us the talented jobhunter!On the other hand, theres network-

    ing. Networking is based on a com-bination of face-to-face relationshipsthat you can build and have built,together with online social media,which is changing with amazing ac-celeration in front of our eyes. Andbefore we go further, lets just notethat the best networking is based on

    quality, not on quantity.So why do we/should we start net-

    working? Networking encourages usto be specific; specific about who weare, what we have to offer and whatour value and our contribution is. Wehave control over what informationwe release about ourselves andthrough which channels we releaseit. Networking, critically, allows us tocontrol what suits our style, whetherwe re perhaps an introvert or an ex-trovert. It allows us, in other words, toput our best foot forward in a waythat suits us best.What are these networks and what

    can they do for us? We definitely needto be clear about our intentions. Whatis it that we are trying to do? Who is itthat we want to work for? What job isit that we know will suit us best atthis stage of our career?Being clear about our intentions

    allows us to set out our territory tobe specific about our targeting and tobe smart about how we use thesenetworks, so that we dont waste ourtime or the time of other people. Thistype of networking allows us to get toknow the communities of interest to

    us. Our networking communities arebased on what we know and so who itis that we know is important as wellas those that we need to get to know.What were doing in developing

    these networks is creating warmerrelationships. These warm relation-ships, whether we utilise them forinformation, for leverage or for a job,mean that we have contact with realhuman beings. We will not be ho-mo genized.All of us have networks, however

    immature or small they may be.Every one of us can start to build ournetworks from this moment forward.Start with asking who do you knowand then who it is that you sense thatyour network may know. How do youfind out who they know? You need tofind out by being curious; about thepeople that you know who you couldknow better and by exploring justwhat life and work they have done.Think about who else you need to

    know and build a network towardsthem because over time you can nur-ture these relationships.T heres something more about net-

    working. Smart networking enables

    you to take control of your learningand your growth. Using your networkcan help you to understand the spe-cialist area that you want to get betterknown in. This is about using yournetwork to link yourself to know-ledge. This implies a continuous de-velopmental process that should lastfor the whole of your career. It is not,as CVs are, about fits and starts thatare predicated on your job search in

    that particular moment. Networkingis a building process completely insync with your developing career.Networking is part of what makes

    you and it allows others in your worldto understand you how youre grow-ing, how valuable you are and youravailability to do something forthem.For more careers advice, visit job-

    Time to stand out and start networking

    15ADVICE: Develop contacts with prospective employers so they know the real you

    CVs are so yesterday! For as long aswe can remember, the CV has beenthe passpor t to jobs and to work.But it is such a one-dimensional doc-ument in so many ways.It usually starts at the moment

    where weve finished full-time edu-cation and ends up being a list of jobsthat weve done for different organ-isations. It has its use as far as it goes;which frankly isnt very far.Those reading it (in the recruit-

    ment sector particularly) probablyspend less than a minute reading thecover letter and the CV (typically twopa g es).It doesnt matter whether its a

    recruitment agency or an internalHR department, the CV gets pro-cessed pretty much the same way. Insummary, the CV makes it easy,makes the users lazy, its a boringdocument and it is anything but com-prehensive. It suits the intermedi-aries, but not us the talented jobhunter!On the other hand, theres network-

    ing. Networking is based on a com-bination of face-to-face relationshipsthat you can build and have built,together with online social media,which is changing with amazing ac-celeration in front of our eyes. Andbefore we go further, lets just notethat the best networking is based on

    quality, not on quantity.So why do we/should we start net-

    working? Networking encourages usto be specific; specific about who weare, what we have to offer and whatour value and our contribution is. Wehave control over what informationwe release about ourselves andthrough which channels we releaseit. Networking, critically, allows us tocontrol what suits our style, whetherwe re perhaps an introvert or an ex-trovert. It allows us, in other words, toput our best foot forward in a waythat suits us best.What are these networks and what

    can they do for us? We definitely needto be clear about our intentions. Whatis it that we are trying to do? Who is itthat we want to work for? What job isit that we know will suit us best atthis stage of our career?Being clear about our intentions

    allows us to set out our territory tobe specific about our targeting and tobe smart about how we use thesenetworks, so that we dont waste ourtime or the time of other people. Thistype of networking allows us to get toknow the communities of interest to

    us. Our networking communities arebased on what we know and so who itis that we know is important as wellas those that we need to get to know.What were doing in developing

    these networks is creating warmerrelationships. These warm relation-ships, whether we utilise them forinformation, for leverage or for a job,mean that we have contact with realhuman beings. We will not be ho-mo genized.All of us have networks, however

    immature or small they may be.Every one of us can start to build ournetworks from this moment forward.Start with asking who do you knowand then who it is that you sense thatyour network may know. How do youfind out who they know? You need tofind out by being curious; about thepeople that you know who you couldknow better and by exploring justwhat life and work they have done.Think about who else you need to

    know and build a network towardsthem because over time you can nur-ture these relationships.T heres something more about net-

    working. Smart networking enables

    you to take control of your learningand your growth. Using your networkcan help you to understand the spe-cialist area that you want to get betterknown in. This is about using yournetwork to link yourself to know-ledge. This implies a continuous de-velopmental process that should lastfor the whole of your career. It is not,as CVs are, about fits and starts thatare predicated on your job search in

    that particular moment. Networkingis a building process completely insync with your developing career.Networking is part of what makes

    you and it allows others in your worldto understand you how youre grow-ing, how valuable you are and youravailability to do something forthem.For more careers advice, visit job-
