Common Career Conundrums

October 28, 2020 By //  by Rachel Brushfield

Furlough ends on the 31 October.

This is a MASSIVE SCARY career crossroads for many people.

What next?

How do you know what the right decision is for your career?

Common career conundrums are:

Should I:

•          Retrain?

•          Become self-employed?

•          Go freelance?

•          Set up my own business?

•          Create a portfolio career?

•          Study for a new qualification?

•          Do contracting?

•          Change career direction?

•          Take a career sabbatical?

•          Take early retirement?

Making the right decision is always important at a career crossroads.

It is especially important with Covid-19 because the stakes are high.

And there is a lot of competition.

It is a buyer’s market.

Making a robust career decision needs 5 things:

  1. Internal analysis – you

2) External analysis – the market

3) A strategy for screening your career options and making a robust decision.

4) A career plan A, B and C for uncertain times.

5) A marketing strategy and plan.
