Summary:
"You're well into
your
career
and yet you're not where you want to be. Perhaps you've done everything you need to do to be named a partner, but
your
firm has encountered a crisis that's put all promotions on hold. Maybe a hobby or sidegig has helped unearth a new passion you'd love to pursue full-time. Perhaps you've come to realize that
your
current role is no longer meaningful. Or maybe you've exceeded all of the goals you set for
your
current
career
and you're ready for a new challenge. How do you envision possible new professional selves, explore
your
options, and embark on a dramatic
career
makeover when you have a mortgage to pay, kids to support, college and retirement funds to feed--and a full life and full-time job? Can you really set aside the years you've invested in
your
education and current industry? How can you make a radical change when there are so many demands on you? Whether you know what you want
your
second act to be or you have no clue--only that what you're doing isn't a match, this
guide
will help you chart a course and make the switch. You'll discover how to: - Break free of what
your
career
is now to consider what it could be - Get an accurate picture of the skills and abilities you bring to the table - Create experiments that won't sabotage
your
current job - Assess the financial implications of making a change - Develop a compelling way to tell
your
story--tying even seemingly unrelated jobs into a cohesive narrative - Build expertise in a new field - Land a new role."--From publisher.
