Now more than ever, being adaptive in our ever-changing environment is crucial, especially in employment. Ask yourself.:
Can my profession stand an alliance of A.I.?
Will my industry exist in the next five years?
The world won't end if the answer is NO, but failing to do anything about it certainly impacts your future. There's never a wrong time to learn new skills. So, why not make yourself more lucratively attractive in the process. No clue as to how to start, no problem. Start here.
Research any employment website's job announcements. You'll find a wealth of information including necessary requirements from education, location, and salary ranges.
Creating a plan/checklist will ensure you hold yourself accountable. Also, celebrate milestones (e.g., completing (updating) resumes, successful interviews (even if you're not selected), or networking (sometimes it's as in the new career field). All work and no rest & relaxation drive your mental stability towards insanity. Remember, when encountering obstacles and stalls, be patient with yourself.
For instance, when navigating the education requirements for a career change. No degree. Unable to obtain them, try taking advantage of all free courses and programs providing you with the knowledge you need. Use a different approach. Contact companies regarding education substitutes like using your years of experience. Location, location, location. It applies to shifting careers as well. Keep an open mind. More importantly, don't give up. Work smart, not hard. Keep yourself informed of trends and advancements in your sector.
