What is a Career Change?

Answer:
A career change is exactly what it says –

a change of career. Career changes are much more common than they used to be. Sometimes people change careers because their original career is less in demand and it is therefore harder for them to find work. Other people change careers because a career feels too demanding or not stimulating enough, and others because of family situations or relocation.

A career assessment test can be a very helpful tool for anyone considering a career change. Career counselors may also be helpful for people wishing to change careers. Since careers are so often considered a vital part of our identity, going through a career change may require support and careful planning.
