Career Change Readiness Checklist
Changing careers is a significant decision. Before making a major move, it is useful to distinguish between wanting change and being prepared to navigate change.
Motivations
Are you moving toward something or simply escaping something? Is the problem the career, the employer, or the specific role?
Skills & Gaps
What transferable skills can you carry into the new field? What new capabilities are required, and how will you develop them?
Evidence & Reality
Have you tested the new field through a project or course? Are there real opportunities, and what do employers actually require?
Readiness & Planning
Are you emotionally prepared to be a beginner again? Can you transition gradually, and what is your next practical step?
