As time goes on our interests tend to change. We may begin to care more about the dairy industry, like science more than math or decide to teach. You never know when you may have a new “itch to scratch” in the workplace. When you do, there are several resources available to you while changing your career interests.
College students do this all the time. We come in as freshman saying we want to be a doctor. We sit down for our first science class and discover we have no idea what inorganic compounds are. In that first hour and fifteen minutes we can see our dream of becoming a doctor slip away. We then decide to change our major. Changing our career path for forever.
Sometimes people also decide to do this when they are done with college. They have worked at a job for five years, but they do not find it interesting anymore. They decide to begin looking for another job, but they don’t know in which direction they want to go.
A great resource to help you find your way is WISCareers. This site allows you to search your possible career paths, gives you aptitude tests and much more. It is a great resource for anyone trying to find their way.
CALS Career Services is also willing to help any Alumni in search of a new career. Alumni are still able to use BuckyNet to search for jobs. There are several other resources as well to help you find a new job.
While changing career paths you will also need to update your resume. Make sure to add new organizations, leadership roles and your present job to your resume. CALS Career Services would also be happy to critique your resume. Just log-on to BuckyNet and create an appointment.
Using these resources while changing your interests could help you in your future endeavors.
