考虑转行必须考虑的6件事 　　

If your current job makes you feel bored, burnt out, unsatisfied and frustrated1, the time might be perfect for you to make the big change. An unfulfilled or an unchallenged job that compels you to drag yourself to work each day is an indication for you to switch careers. However, changing careers require diligent2 efforts and immense planning. Given below are the key factors that you can consider to weigh your options before being ready for a career change.

　　1. Problem in your current job profile
　　Try finding out what is it about the current job profile that you dislike the most. Before considering other career option, you should analyze5 if it is the current job profile, present employer or your boss that you dislike, or if it is the career or the skill sets that you hate. Have clarity on whether you actually need to switch careers or is it just the job change that will work for you.
　　2. Evaluating yourself
　　Once you are aware that a career change is a must, there is a strong need to assess your skill sets, values, personality traits and interests. For this you can seek help from a career counselor6 or any career development professional. Those of you who do not wish to seek any help can opt4 for various self-assessment tools that are available on the internet for free.
　　3. Transferable skills sets
　　Certain in born talents or those developed in the course of working with your past employer are not industry specific. These are the skill sets that can be utilized7 in many different careers. For instance, a good management skill or people management skills are required in every career. You thus need to analyze any such trait that you have which can help you in your new career.
　　4. Need for self development
　　Before switching careers, you need to bridge the gap between your old and new career. While transferable skills allow you to settle into your new career, additional training or education will help you in getting a good job in the new career field. Figure out the skill sets that you need to develop and work on them for better job prospects9 in the new career field.
　　5. Calculating the risk
　　Educate yourself about the long term prospects of the new career. Try finding out as much as you can about the new career option. You should be very well aware of the future prospects of the new career field that you have selected. Weighing the pros8 and cons3 of the new career option will help you in making a realistic career choice.
　　6. Willingness to start all over again
　　After having an established career for quite some time, you need to take your time out to delve10 deeper into your own self and know if you have the guts11 to start from scratch and work your way towards re-establishing yourself.
