CAREER TRANSITIONS

“Open A New Window, Open A New Door, Travel A New Highway That’s Never Been Tried Before”    – Auntie Mame

When first entering the job market, we are actively forming our work selves and careers.  We may be in jobs that we like or we may be busy trying to climb the corporate ladder.

Second Act careers often involve learning or taking on new skills or re-inventing ourselves to move forward and upwardly in our career.

Third Act creations come later in life when we think about easing into retirement and start thinking there is more to life than just having a paycheck and a job.

Whatever stage of career you may be in, Drapkin Goodwin will help you in your transition to identifying and realizing your dreams.  We will help you find your best fit: doing something that you are good at and something you enjoy doing.  We will develop a personalized plan with you to keep you targeted, focused, and organized.

SOME QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER BEFORE MAKING A CAREER TRANSITION:

Why do I want to change careers?

What kind of job or field do I want?

Will I make enough salary if I make a career transition?

Do I need to do some career exploration to determine what it is I want to do?

SOME QUESTIONS SPECIFIC TO THIRD ACT CREATIONS:

Am I ready to retire?

How will I spend my free time when I’m no longer working full time?

Will it be difficult to realize who I am without a job title and/or career?

Do I need to do some career exploration to determine what it is I want to do?
