Sometimes a career change is from choice or when a worker finds physical requirements prevent them from continuing in their chosen field. A career change can be a good thing. A career change gives the worker a new direction a new scope for advancement and a more varied and interesting resume.
When a career change is necessary due to a change in work conditions, the upheaval can be traumatic for the worker. Care at this stage to reinforce the worker’s overall worth and achievements, their attributes and their skills, can prevent any adverse reaction to accepting the need to change their field of interest. If the worker looks at the need for a career change with enthusiasm and interest, the transition can be beneficial rather than detrimental to their overall health and well-being.
If the career change is undertaken for reasons of location, the move can be regarded as either a good thing or a necessary thing. Moving at any time is regarded as a trauma. Even when undertaken in the most rewarding frame of mind. Considering the stress involved the choice of making a career change should be taken seriously.

The worker will have skills that they have not yet considered. These should be explored and taken into account. A career change could enable the worker to continue in a field of interest, other than their chosen field of work. The career change could open new doors, cement previous interests and offer training in new aspects of the worker’s area of skill.
