The need for a career change tends to occur when people start to experience one or a combination of two factors. These two factors can either be Internal or External. The sad case is that although many feel the need for a career change, they have no idea what they would like to do next and for some, what they want to do is obvious but how, where and when continues to elude them. Let us establish the key reasons why

people develop the need for a career change.

There are two deciding factors for this:

External Factors
A lot people develop the need for a career change due to a number of external factors and these can be related to their working relationships with fellow colleagues, an inability to grow within the company, poor location, an unpleasant environment or family related reasons.

When any of these factors become the need for a career change, there are questions you need to ask yourself before making that life changing decision to change your career.

"Am I sure the problem does not lie with me?"

1. How well do you relate with people? - Would you say your attitude welcomes or drives people from you? If the problem has got to do with your attitude, you'll have the same problem elsewhere.

2. How competitive are you within your current role? - Employers value employees that help grow their business and will give anything to retain that person. Are you exercising your natural talents at work daily? Your natural energisers (PASSION)! Do you have any for your current job?

3. Location, environment and family related reasons are also external factors that puts us in a position to make life changing choices, but they must never be at the risk of loosing our identity. what makes us whole and fulfilled in life.

Internal Factors
These factors are probably the most valid reason when it comes to experiencing the need for a career change.

It's battle between what your conscience is telling you, your dreams, hopes, aspiration and your current situation. The need for a better life, a more fulfilling career, the ability to exercise your natural talents and engage your passion.

A Combination of External & Internal Factors
On the other hand, it could be a combination of both external and internal factors, which can be very dangerous because it can lead to a life of frustration, despair. Inevitably leading to envy and jealousy for the progress of other people.

When this happens, you could find yourself wanting the success of others and dedicating your life to getting it.

This is a road that will always lead to a dead end.

Little progress is made when you try to be someone else. Most times, your weaknesses become more evident and people begin to see an incompetent employee rather than a competent one.

So Why Do You Need A Career Change
This is what it's all about. Finding the answer to your 'WHY's in life.

As Stephen Covey once mentioned at one of his seminars, if you can find the answers to your 'WHY's in life, you can handle any 'WHAT', 'WHERE', 'WHEN', 'HOW' or 'IF'.
