Repurpose Your Career – 5 Steps to your Career Pivot

Repurpose Your Career – Forbes, US News and UT Webinar

Whether you are a baby boomer, generation x’er or millennial, retirement like your parents had is no longer a possibility for most. Everyone will have to go through career changes or Career Pivots. At some point of time you will likely Repurpose Your Career!

Step 1: Know Thyself. It may sound trite but if you do not know what you want then…. What kind of boss do you want? What kind of team..
Step 2: Build your tribe. We live in a referral economy. Your network is critical to any career move.
Step 3: Act on facts, not assumptions. Have you talked with employees at your target company? Have you talked with former employees? How the heck to do you whether you want to work there?
Step 4: Learn how to network strategically. Learn the strategy of asking for A-I-R. Advise, Incites and Recommendations. When you ask for advice no on turns you down. Well…. if they do turn you down they are a jerk and you do not want to talk with them anyway!
Step 5: Learn to ask for help. If you are going to make a Career Pivot, you likely will no longer be the expert. You just have to suck it up and ask for help. I understand. I am a guy. I do not like asking for directions no matter how lost I am! Read the Forbes post by Career Pivot — The Key to a Successful Career Shift: Asking for Help
