Career Advice - where do you get it?

Career advice is certainly something that most people need at various times but getting really good advice is hard. I remember the career guidance counsellors when I was at school, they tried of course, but how does one person give really good advice to hundreds of students? Particularly when they personally have no experience of each of the different professions themselves. It is very very hard, so I remember visiting them once, and never going back. I suppose I was lucky in that I knew what I wanted to do anyway at that time.

Regardless of what people decide they want to do, often careers simply cease to exist in particular locations, companies close down, jobs are outsourced overseas and so people find themselves having to move on. People can move on in many ways of course. They can physically pack up and move towns to where they can get a job in their chosen career and industry, and many many people I know do that. Or, people can move on in a different way.

They can stay where they are physically, but move on mentally. That is they can choose to change career, to try something different, even to go and get some more training. There are a multitude of ways they can do that but I urge those of you considering your options to at least entertain what else you could do without having to uproot your families and move to another town? Just think about it, maybe you will come up with something.

As for getting good advice, recently I came across a great package on offer from the well known Brian Tracy. He has reduced the price on some of his books and put together a package of real value that saves us all some money. I won't say much more here, just suggest you have a look at his site now yourself.

Some more advice for those people worried about their jobs and careers at the moment; stop watching or listening to the news or reading the newspapers for a week. Just try it and see how you feel. Listen to music instead, read a book, watch a movie, take up a new hobby, browse the net (but not the news sites). Go on, try it. I bet you cheer up.

See you
