My Career Change Experience
I went through a career change recently so I decided it could be useful to share my experience with you guys. I switched from working as a full-time tech support to self-employed online entrepreneur, so here are my tips for you. First of all, assess your risk in details. Consider all things that can happen, mostly the worse that can happen. Best case scenario is to be on a contract that is about to expire in the next month or so. In that way, your boss probably won't cause you any problems when he discovers you are looking at other career options. But other times, letting it be known that you're looking for another job could cost you your current job. Another thing to be extremely careful about is where exactly you publish your job resume, because you might be amazed by the number of companies who find resumes of their employees on the Internet.
