We tend to think that our careers are for life. You’ve gone through the education system, found a career, and that’s what you’ll be doing until you retire. But that, of course, is not true. One of the fun things about life is that we can always change what we’re doing; there’s no one there to tell us that we can’t. If you’re beginning to feel that it’s time to change your career, then no worries: that’s something you can do! 

But what if you’re not sure what you want to move into? In this blog, we’re going to run through some of the best places to look when you need inspiration.

Your Passions
What better place to start looking than your passions? They say that if you’re doing what you love, then you’ll never work a day in your life. Have you been honing your skills in one particular area over the years? Then it could be time to monetise the skills that you’ve learned. This could take many forms -- you might offer lessons, open a store, or look for work within a business that deals with your passion. There are plenty of options!

In-Demand Careers
It’s normal that people become a little bit afraid when they’re changing careers. It takes guts to leave security and do something new. You can minimise the risk by looking at in-demand careers. There are some professions where there are more positions than can be filled. Some careers have a tremendously positive outlook. If you want to work in healthcare or tech, for instance, you’ll likely find that there are plenty of jobs waiting for you once you have your qualifications. With this, you’ll have a well-paying job that you can be confident will provide for you for many years to come. 

You can also think about jobs that’ll be in demand in the future, such as those related to climate change. If the world needs something, there’ll be jobs in that field for sure. 

Trying Out Jobs 
If you’re really not sure what to do, then why not try out a few different roles? This can sound unrealistic, but it’s more possible than many people realise. If you sign up with a recruitment agency, you can get access to a wide range of temporary jobs. They’ll allow you to try out something new -- and get paid -- without having to commit on a long-term basis. If it’s something that you like, then you can pursue that. If it’s not, then you can just move on to the next one!

Other People 
Finally, you can always look at what other people have done with their careers if you’re not sure what to do. These can be famous people or just people that you know. There are plenty of people who have become chefs because they read Anthony Bourdain's books, after all. If there’s a job that someone else does that sounds good to you, get in touch with them, and ask how they got to their position.
