PIVOTING - Your Career Midway

 

Not really feeling like working for the company you are in right now???  Would like to methodically change your career path into some other industry ??? 

 

Let us normalize people pivoting their career midway and COVID-19 has made many of the individuals PIVOT their career from one Industry to another. This has opened many opportunities in the Industry that have just started their business. i.e. Startups. 

Why does Pivot happen ?? When an individual comes to a point in their career where they see no change and growth, they feel stuck and just imagine working in an industry that he/she has no interest in. First, let us understand the meaning of Pivoting your career?

Jenny Blake (Author) - ''I define a career pivot as doubling down on what is working to make a purposeful shift in a new, related direction''

This just means making a career shift from one industry to another or from one position to another within the company. One should plan accordingly and this process can be done in 4 phases.

1. Plant       2. Scan.      3. Pilot        4. Launch 

Plant the seeking opportunity in the market and scan for such opportunity, whether it be an industry change or a position change or change in roles and responsibility. I suggest and do believe that pivot should only be done if it is needed and you feel like doing it, you can't wake up every day and pivot your career; that's not suggested and it shows your instability. 

Look at your skills, understand where they can be used, and enhance them where it is needed. This will always help you in Pivoting your career. I'll end this one quote
