After working in your chosen industry for 15+ years you get comfortable and scared to divert into a different path- Don't be! You can do it. People focus on the competition that comes with switching industries by thinking about their age or even their lack of experience. Lisa Thompson didn't allow that to stop her.
Lisa Thompson is today's special guest. Lisa has over 30 years of experience in the staffing industry and has made a name for herself by satisfying her clients by making them a priority. Lisa needed to make a change when it came to staffing, she fell into the same routine that we eventually find ourselves doing in our careers.
Suky and Lisa discuss what it means to make a career change and the factors that come with it. During COVID Lisa had a realization that she wanted to leave general staffing but had to take a step back and think about what other opportunities she wanted to take. Here are some of the factors you need to have before making a career change:
What's next? - Understand what you want to do and how to approach this with the skill sets you already have.
Recognize - Know when it's the right time for you to take that next opportunity, and don't be afraid to take it.
Ignore the Stereotypes - When starting over it doesn't matter if you're 25 or 55. What matters is whether are you capable of filling in the position you want and do you have the knowledge to perform for the client.
