Are You Afraid To Make A Career Change?

By: Stephen Long

We're pretty good at playing mind games on ourselves aren't we? Many of you have fooled yourself into thinking that being afraid of changing careers means you shouldn't go ahead and pursue a job change. You probably figured that if you're that concerned about making a career change happen, that maybe you shouldn't even bother and not take any chances.

When did you become so filled with fear? There are many people who feel that once you chose a occupation you're got to stick with it. They don't think they have the abilities or options to change and do something else. Quite often we sell our abilities short! Without trying to make a change, the more unhappy and dissatisfied people become with their work. Any time they consider a different career field, they are overcome with fear and figure they are locked into where they are.

Many people are fearful of not making enough money, not liking their new job, or even failing. Some people even feel that they might not even land the job in the first place so why even try? Maybe the new career is beneath you and you feel that you are simply "wasting your degree". Can you relate to any of these fears?

One of the ways to move forward and past the career fears is by not waiting for your fear to disappear before changing employment and instead taking action despite being fearful. It's very normal to be afraid when you are making a career change. If you weren't, I'd have to make sure that you are still breathing! You have got to realize that you are not supposed to supresss your fear in order to be able to switch employers.

You must accept your fear as a part of this career changing transition. Once you can do that, let yourself be afraid but still take the necessary steps needed to get that next job. Looking back you will then be able to see that your faer was unfounded and really not a big deal. Take a deep breath and overcome that fear and take the first step. It won't be that bad, I promise!
