Now, let’s take a closer look at each of these tips.

1- Before changing careers, it’s important to identify the kinds of work you don’t want to do

Most of the time, our brains may associate “changing careers” only with choosing a profession that aligns with our ideas and goals,

and we may do so a little too quickly, driven by our enthusiasm. But we recommend exercising some caution and taking your time before you

make that choice.

It can be helpful to create a قائمة تتضمن الأعمال والمهام التي يعتبر من المستحيل أو الصعب أن

تزاولها—either because they don’t suit your traits and characteristics, or simply because you’re not capable of doing them.

Having a list like this can make choosing a new career much easier. Be honest with yourself and complete this

list as soon as possible so you can think with focus and creativity.

2- Think about the tasks and activities that come easily to you

Take your time: What kinds of tasks and activities do people ask you to do or help them with?

What kinds of work can you do easily, smoothly, and flexibly?

What subjects are you good at and enjoy working on? This way of thinking can help you discover

a new career that suits you, can generate income, and makes you feel fulfilled at the same time.

3- If you need help or advice, don’t hesitate to ask for it

When we’re thinking about making a change in our lives, such as choosing a new career, we naturally tend to ask for advice from

our family and friends, right?

But unfortunately, their opinions can sometimes hold us back rather than help. That’s because the people closest to us are guided by

their emotions and worry that we might fail when facing a new challenge. As a result, their words can dampen our enthusiasm and leave us

feeling discouraged.

But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t ask people around you for advice. Instead, try asking people who can genuinely help you.

Experts in your field—people who know exactly how to advise you and do so based on their experience. Examples include

psychoanalysts, counselors, and human resources professionals. These people have the qualifications and ability to talk with you and help you make the most of your talents in

the right jobs and fields for you.

This advice is very important, and you shouldn’t overlook it when considering a career change.

4- Don’t compare yourself to others

Everyone is different in every way—in their abilities, skills, and talents, and in how they see and analyze things.

كل شخص يختلف عن الآخر في كل شيء، في الإمكانات والمهارات والطاقات، في النظر إلى الأمور وتحليل

in their approach to situations and reactions, and even in their points of view.

في كل شيء.

 قد يكون هناك شخص انضم إلى الشركة معك وفي نفس الوقت الذي دخلت فيه أنت إليها، ولكن قد يتطور

professionally and advance more quickly than you. This does not necessarily mean they are better or smarter than you. Rather, the reason

for their rapid career progression may be that they have qualities and characteristics the company needs

الوقت الحالي.

This does not mean you are any less capable. Keep working hard and putting in the same effort. If you notice

that, in the future, the company sees you as the right person for an emerging role, and that you work in a way that satisfies customers and helps it

Once you achieve your goals, you’ll definitely be rewarded for it in the end—without a doubt.

For this very reason, and to ensure you don’t miss out on future career advancement opportunities, we advise you not to compare yourself

to other employees. Besides, watching and monitoring others is a negative habit that can adversely affect

your productivity at work.

5- Prepare financially for a career change

Never lose sight of this advice. In fact, when you’re thinking about changing careers and moving into

a new profession, it may take some time to find an alternative, which means you could go through a period when

When you may have to get by without a salary or any other source of income.

This is a very important factor, and it becomes even more important when you have a family and children. A major change like this should not affect

your quality of life or the standard of living your family enjoys.

Prepare financially in whatever way you find useful. Some people set money aside and save it to use

during this period.

If you’re self-employed, it’s important to plan your finances in a way that also covers the costs of

Production costs, employee wages, and other expenses, along with all your personal expenses and household and family costs.

6- Assess how much adjustment you’ll need to make to adapt to your new career

When a career change is radical—meaning you move from working in one setting to a different environment and field—

one that is completely different from what you’re used to, you should keep this advice in mind.

For example, if you currently work at a large company and want to move into a hands-on trade, this is considered

a radical career change. Likewise, leaving a career in engineering to become a university professor

And the question that now arises is: “How much adjustment and adaptation will it take for you to get used to this new type

of work?” What will you need to do to adapt more quickly to these changes and shifts?

new job? That’s exactly what we’ll discuss in the next tip.

you can draw on the skills, talents, and knowledge you’ve gained over the course of your career.

Previous professional experience.

Relying on the skills and personal competencies you bring to your new career is an important factor that can help reduce

the anxiety, fear, and apprehension you may feel when entering a new field.
