If you're looking
at this website, chances are that you are considering a career change.
It may be that you've raised children and have decided to re-enter the
job market, or that you have a desire to transition into a new career.
For many women, career paths are less linear than men's, reflecting
their adaptation to family needs and a changing sense of self. While
flexibility is often useful, women can readily lose sight of their real
career desires and abilities. They can over-adapt and never know who
they really are.
Like
many women who are faced with change, this may be the right time to
re-evaluate your life, reflect on your years of experience and value
what you have done. My approach to women seeking a new career path is to
put an emphasis on issues of identity in order to obtain a clear sense
of strengths, talents, interests and mid-life goals. The experiences
that you have gained can be directly translated into marketable talents.
The secret is finding an environment that appreciates what you have to
offer.
