你会觉得在一个行业干了一段时间，觉得这并不是自己想从事的、因而想要改行呢？改行不同于一般的跳槽，很可能意味着要“从头再来”，你准别好了吗？ Haven't worked for "the man" yet? No matter how far along you are in your career, you may be able to change course to boost your income. In 1999, after five years as a college-football coach in Chicago, Jerry Bowden took up a career in public relations, seeking an increase in pay and job security. "I found it difficult to reach the top financially," he says of coaching. "It's a small and competitive market. There aren't a lot of jobs, and, if your team has a bad season, you could be canned." Now a vice president at a large public-relations agency, Mr. Bowden earns about $125,000 a year -- more than triple his previous annual income, and has more options should he decide to change employers, he says. If you're eyeing a switch to a high-paying career, prepare for a challenge, says Lauren Herring, president of careerMogul.com, an online career-coaching firm. You'll need to persuade employers you're as committed and qualified as applicants with more relevant work experience, she explains. Here are five ways to position yourself for a corporate job when you're making the switch at midcareer: 1. Prepare to take a step back. 准备好从头做起 To achieve your financial goals, you may have to start lower down on the ladder and work your way up, says Ms. Herring. The good news is you'll likely rise more quickly than your younger counterparts because you have more life experience, she adds. |
