Advice on career changes – Albert & Logan News

 

ARE you looking for a change? Sarina Russo Job Access CEO Kevin Ayre has the following tips for mature-aged workers wanting to try their hand at another career.

 

1. Determine the industry sector in which you want to 
    work and upgrade your skills. In such a competitive 
    job market, Sarina Russo is experiencing a demand 
    for entry level qualifications (Cert II level) in retail, 
    hospitality, business administration, financial services 
    and customer contact.

 

2. Seriously consider self employment including 
    subcontracting, consultancy work or setting up a small 
    business. The New Incentive Enterprise Scheme trains 
    and mentors people to run their own business and be 
    their own boss. Candidates graduate with a Cert IV 
    in Small Business.

 

3. Be confident in your own abilities. The knowledge and
    experience you have is a great selling point to 
    employers.Make the most of your networks especially 
    previous work associates as well as people you know 
    through clubs and groups, everything from the golf club 
    to Lions or Rotary.
