I was reflecting on what stops people from jumping ship, i.e. changing career. Here are the 11 most common ones from working with many different people:
- Lack of confidence/self-belief
- Not aware of what skills and qualities they possess
- Don’t understand how social media is useful
- Perceived insecurity of making a change
- Lack a network
- Don’t know where/how to find out about different careers
- Dislike networking
- Other people’s fears e.g. loss of status
- Reluctance to ask for help
- Worry about being rejected
- Dislike of change
What would you add? What would you recommend to help people tackle them?
