Guide: 12 Steps to Change Career

What to do when your chosen career path leads to a dead end? Start looking for a new one, of course!

At first, the prospect of starting from scratch all over again may seem daunting. But if it's any consolation to you, you're not alone in this. People change careers all the time for all kinds of reasons.

What's more, you won't really have to start from scratch, will you? After all, you can use many of the skills you've acquired in your previous career. You just need to articulate them in a way that shows you can use them in your new career too.
