Dealing With Career Change and Transition

Career change and career transition are real concerns nowadays. People lose or give up their jobs for various reasons. Today's aggressive, performance-oriented business ethos mean that career change and career transition happen to a lot of people; this is quite unlike before when one could get into a job and stay in it for life.

Considering a Career Change

If the change is a voluntary one, then the person undergoing the career change should take as much care as possible. Not only is one's income-less (or non-existent) during such a time, but change itself always puts stresses on a person as he or she strives to steer his life in a new direction.

Nevertheless, not all is doom and gloom: the time spent between careers offers a chance for value appraisal and career assessment. The shock of finding one's self adrift may provide a good impetus to accomplish a useful task that has often been set aside because of lack of time or lack of motivation. Indeed, once in the middle of a career change and career transition, you may find yourself exploring new and better career paths that you thought were closed to you.

Marketing One's Self to Potential Employers

In the midst of your career change and career transition, you must carefully assess what job you wish to take on next. You must list down your credentials and skills, your interests, and your goals (house, car, salary grade, position, prestige, etc). Your credentials and skills will be your basis for assessing your worth to potential employers. Your interests will dictate the direction that you can possibly take. Your goals will be your basis for choosing the specific direction that you will take.

The time spent reevaluating one's career direction is followed by a time of writing cover letters, updating one's resume, leveraging whatever influence one has on people in a network that might help one get into a new job or completely different line of work (which is one reason why it's nice to cultivate friends). It's not necessary to have experience when shifting into a whole new profession, as long as you stay educated, can play up your strengths to the recruiter, and transfer the necessary social skills to your new setting.

As you sit down to write your resume, it is helpful to remember something that salesmen and marketers know but others often overlook: you must be able to sell yourself in order to profit in the job market. To increase your value to potential employers, recruitment agencies or headhunters, you must do your best to highlight your value so you will always remain on top of the recruitment heap. Only then can you be sure of a successful career change and career transition.

Magnavox MSD520FE digital transition q?

i've got a 2005 magnavox MSD520FE tv/dvd combo. we've also got one of those butterfly antennas. before the switch we had no trouble using that antenna to get network channels, but since the switch we've got nada. i can't find any information about the MSD520FE and it's not even listed as one of the models on the transition site. anyone have any info about what we're doing wrong here? a 2005 tv should get digital channels, right?
thank you all for your research and answers! it will be hard to pick a best

>a 2005 tv should get digital channels, right?

No. Except on high end HDTVs, digital tuners were not common in 2005.

And even the best digital tuners in 2005 HDTV's were not as good as the ones in coupon type converter boxes.

You need to connect a converter box between your antenna and your TV.

The last time I checked, you could still get $40 off government coupons at http://www.dtv2009.gov You can get a real nice Zenith or DTVpal plus for $10 - $20 (after using the coupon).

Some people find their old antenna works OK, others have found they need a better antenna for digital reception. Try your old one first.
