Do you live in England or Australia? Are you fed up in your current role? Want to move? But do you suspect that a change of company will not bring the satisfaction you really desire? Then a career change is possibly for you. You have probably thought about this before but decided that it is too risky to give up what you know. Perhaps you have family or mortgage commitments which mean you need a proper income every month. Going back to college in order to achieve your dream just might not be realistic if it means relying on casual work to support yourself. Or perhaps you are in that category gently classed as 'mature' and you think you are too old to change career?

The solution...

Some occupations are easier to move into as a second career than others. Those careers have certain features - some have self employment opportunities, some welcome the experience brought by older entrants, while other great career options require qualifications which can now be studied via distance learning or part time courses. This means that you can hold down a 'proper' job, perhaps even the one you have now, while qualifying. But how do you find out which careers have these features? Research has uncovered 50 such careers which are detailed in a new e-book entitled '50 Career Changes'. As well as detailed coverage about the 50 careers, there is a step by step process to help you identify which of these careers might be best for you. Click on the E-books page for further detail.

A bright future for the older career changer

Did you know that there is a decreasing number of young people ready to enter employment in both the UK and Australia? Both countries have an ageing population and the impacts are starting to be felt at a recruitment level. There are many government and employer initiatives to encourage adults to retrain and gain new qualifications and for older people to remain in the workforce for longer. There is also new legislation to prevent discrimination. Even graduate recruitment programs run by major employers are no longer the exclusive domain of the young and some employers are actively rebalancing their workforces with the hire of more mature entrants. So don't be deterred because of your age. The future for older career changers has never looked brighter. Please click on the E-books page for further information.
