Transitioning to a new job or a new way to do your work can be a major, life-changing event. Donna Bennett can help you tackle both the psychological and the practical processes of career or job change.

Psychological

BEFORE you write your resume, assess your skills, network, or search the want ads, take emotional stock, a preventative measure that if not attended to, may come back to bite you, no matter how good a job search you do.

For example:

• Enlist support from people close to you, especially those who are affected by the change
• Evaluate your financial situation
