Beginning Your New Role

Previous  
Changing jobs or careers can be an exciting opportunity to learn about yourself and what you enjoy doing. You may face periods of difficulty and uncertainty in your new role. However, when you are happy with your work, you are more likely to succeed.

Do not forget all you have learned throughout this transition. Expect to redefine your job and career path as time passes and circumstances change. Remain flexible. Keep your skills and education up-to-date. Continue learning. That way, you will be well prepared to take advantage of new opportunities when they arise.

Manage Uncertainty

You may feel inadequate or fearful about your ability to succeed in a new role. Remember, you probably already possess the following skills valuable for any position including:
  • Communicating effectively.
  • Solving problems.
  • Taking initiative.
  • Working well on a team.
  • Persevering in difficult circumstances.
  • Motivating or encouraging others.
  • Organizing individuals and resources.

Take time to review your strengths. Think about situations in which you have demonstrated them and practice communicating those strengths with others.

Changing careers can be exciting and personally satisfying. Do not let moderate uncertainty keep you from pursuing your goals.
