ARE YOU
IN A
MID-LIFE CAREER TRANSITION?
Greetings!
If you
are between the ages of thirty-five and fifty and are experiencing the
following feelings, you have the symptoms of a potential mid-life career transition: -Feeling
burdened by unmet needs.
-Frustrated
by the realities of your current workplace that involve overwhelming
responsibilities where your organization asks too much and gives too little,
leaving you feeling burned-out and unappreciated.
-Feeling
obsolete (you failed to keep up with career technologies, procedures, and
practices essential to your field).
According to one survey by Sinick (1975) these are some of the reasons for a voluntary mid-career transition:
-Your current career is not your own choice.
-Your original aspirations are not met by your current career.
-Your purpose that is attached to your current career is accomplished.
-You have a desire to implement avocational interests.
-Your current career lacks the adequate outlet for
creativity.
-Your current career does not provide a variety in work
content.
-Your values and lifestyle are contrary to your coworkers.
-Your personality conflicts with your supervisor or
coworkers.
-The greener grass is in another field.

Book:
It's Not That Serious!! by Celeste Kelley
Have you

is the self-empowering, socially and morally conscious story of how sisters and
brothers, alike, all too often hate on each other for no apparent reason
whatsoever. This book teaches important methods for dealing with individuals
that drink from the well of Hateraide, so that it does not become addictive in

understanding, but trust God. It will give you many scenarios, some experienced
by the author and some that many have. Click here to order!
