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

GHOSTING: A new trend in relationships.

Trends in the relationship follow up with the changing scenario in the modern world. The Next-gen of Social Media has made a huge impact on people's lives, whether it be a niche platform such as Dating Apps or solid platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, or others. People connect through these platforms and explore the world of Social Media. The very fact that people connect to social media is basically for passing their time, finding some to talk to, or knowing what is going around the world of their friend's life and as well as the literal word WORLD.

 

The word that has been trending nowadays or which has been heard by many of us is called "GHOSTING"

Wikipedia says:

 "Ghosting is a colloquial term used to describe the practice of ceasing all communication and contact with a partner, friend, or similar individual without any apparent warning or justification and subsequently ignoring any attempts to reach out or communicate made by said partner, friend, or individual"

 

Lets us understand the meaning of Ghosting in layman language; it refers to the connection of one person to another through any medium in which they communicate and then one person suddenly disappears and breaks the connection. This has been into the world after the rise of Social Media Platforms in the early '20s when people used the platforms for making new connections. This trend has rage into some bad repercussions of the use of social media for the innocent people out there.

How has it affected the relationships?

Ghosting has been a bad culture of the millennial. Some tend to be up online for some talking pleasure and some are there for some fun. It really affects the meaning that people are finding nowadays before getting into a relationship with a partner. One will dominate the other in the pleasure of getting some things done and then will disappear without any warning. This makes weak presumptions in the mind of people who are willing to be in a good relationship with a partner and who then eventually won't find someone for a long time in a fear of rejection. Mostly the ones who fall for it, go out in making a bad decision and question themselves about what they have done in finding someone as a partner. People turn out to be a stupid and complete idiots after being ghosted as the relevance of experience.

How to not fall for it?

• Don't be vulnerable in a deep search of relationships.
• Don't get anyone to treat you like shit.
• Don't let anyone ignore you for their benefit.
• Don't let anyone dominate you on an everyday basis, make your stand.
• Don't let anyone take up your mental peace.

Ghosting does not only relate to the word Relationship, people get ghosted by their friends, employer, recruiter, family, and sometimes relatives too. Be aware and don't really fall for such incidents in your life, because coping from this is the only option left at the end.
