    Career Change One Baby Step at a Time

    Dreambig Photo by bobmarley753

    If you're feeling overwhelmed thinking about a career change, you're not alone.

    You may be feeling pressure to find the "perfect" job, the one that is absolutely better than what you're doing now, the one that is completely aligned with your purpose on this planet.

    You may be assuming that there is probably only one or possibly two of these jobs in existence, so you better get cracking, and you better make the right decision.

    This is all in addition to the pressure you may be feeling about changing jobs during a recession.

    I'd like to offer an alternative view. What if the next job only has to be a step closer to your purpose on the planet? What kind of relief from the pressure could you experience then?

    Career change usually is achieved through a series of steps, such as education, volunteering, part-time work, freelancing, and/or full-time employment.

    I like what career and life coach Annemarie Segaric has to say on the topic of your next job in this article: "It doesn't have to be perfect."

    Losing the pressure to choose perfectly does introduce a new pressure, however - to do something. My basic philosophy on doing something:

    Dream big. Yet plan very small steps to get there.
