The Layman’s Guide To Changing Job Roles by ReventifyCV: 12:53pm On Dec 01, 2021
Here are the five most common signs that tell it’s time to change job role:
a. You dread going to work
b. You hate what you do at work
c. You don’t find meaning in your work
d. Your job is adversely affecting your personal life

Changing job roles within the same company versus across industries
If you are considering changing job roles, you can do it within the same company or across industries. Before you start looking for a new job role at other companies, it’s worth finding out what different job roles are open within your current company.

Changing job roles within the same company
You love your company. You’re treated well, and you respect what the company stands for. It’s just you are bored with the current work, or you need another dimension to your resume. If you love your current company, but it’s only the job role that doesn’t excite you, you need not look outside. Internal moves happen all the time. Look for open job positions or speak to your manager and other department heads about your interest in a different job role. Be patient but persistent. It takes time, but something will come your way.

Changing job roles across industries
Changing job roles across industries seems daunting. But you shouldn’t be afraid. No knowledge or skills ever get wasted. You acquired some skills in your current job role that can be used in the new role. These are called ‘transferable skills’ like problem-solving, teamwork, communication, research, analytical skills, etc. Identify the transferable skills you possess. Of course, there will be additional skills that you need to learn – otherwise, how would this job change be exciting and challenging. So, be open to learning and acquiring these new skills. If you are ready to change industries, you must be a fast learner.
When you are changing job roles across industries, one question will pop up: WHY? So, always have a good, compelling story to give your reasons for the job role. Keep it a positive story without getting into the (felt) torture of your current job.

Steps to take in order to change careers
Here are steps to take to change careers:
Step 1: Assess your satisfaction levels with your current job
Step 2: Do a personal inventory check
Step 3: Consider alternative career options
Step 4: Job shadow
Step 5: Upgrade your skills
Step 6: Take Action
