Chapter 1. Change by Desire or Necessity
Career Change Guide 1
Approach
long-lost contacts through LinkedIn, a networking website for professionals.
Don’t
put on a front and make it seem like everything is good. Reach out to old friends for help.
Send
your resume to targeted job sites and recruiting firms.
Learn
the art of selling yourself without selling your soul. Tahe easoiest way is a personal website with
your work on it.
Leave
your resume with a specialty temp agency.
You can get a temp job and prove yourself.
Companies
don’t want to hire overqualified people.
Target your search to every resume you send.
While
you got a job, look around for your next job.
The world is changing so fast that many industries and jobs
are obsolete for two reasons:
1.) They
are really obsolete because the world has moved on like shoe makers and
typewriter stores. Assembly lines are
being replaced by robots.
2.) NAFTA
and other free trade agreements have trashed industry in the western countries
because the multinational corporations get most stuff made by peasants on the
cheap in peasant nations. Look at Apple.
The saddest story I heard was about a guy about my age who
lost his job then couldn’t sell his house so it was foreclosed on. He went to college to retrain for some allied
health profession. Who has that kind of
courage, to start all over again at 55 as opposed to doing something like
suicide or giving up?
I watch youtube videos about the illuminati. They say it’s all part of a plan to trash the
United States and turn arrogant westerners into a bunch of peasants.
It’s a huge tragedy.
You would never know it by watching mainstream TV. They pretend there is no tragedy. Everything is cute and sanitized. The desperation of life is hidden.
I wrote a plan to change government called the People Power
Program. Aside from that, I don’t see
any solution if we keep going the way we’re going now.
It doesn’t matter what job you
do, most fields can be wiped out quickly.
I’ve seen architects and realtors get wiped out by computers and the
internet.
Everybody says, "Follow
your heart.”
Find some emerging or steady
field that will be there no matter what.
People always need to eat.
Change always brings fear but
you can deal with it by being adventurous and going one day at a time.
If you see that your current job
or career might die, start looking for something else now by getting educated
for it.
In life, you always have two
choices:
keep going
stop, do nothing
Save money to have a safety net.
Simplify your life now to live
as cheaply as possible.
What is your true nature?
What do naturally like you do?
What naturally inspires you?
Test the waters by finding job
videos on youtube, vimeo, hulu, etc.
Do job shadowing or an
internship if you can.
A transferable skill is to find
careers related to what you already do or know.
What exactly do you want?
Take courses in a field you’re
interested in. It’s easy online or
through a community college.
Your library probably has a
booklet around for continuing studies that the local universities and other
schools offer if you live in a fair-sized town.
You might even get your own company to pay for your education if you say
you want to upgrade.
Some careers only require a few
months of part-time schooling.
With some careers, just
apply. They might take you because most
things are on-the-job training anyway.
Some gu ycalled some film company.
They asked him if he had a truck.
He was in the movie industry.
Search your local phone
directory under schools, training, vocational schools, colleges and
universities.
Most community colleges have
good practical certification programs.
Many universities have
certificate programs at university extension programs.
Use search engines to find
education in your field.
You could try starting a
part-time business.
Check private vocational-career
schools for education in practical fields.
If you have never gotten a
student loan, you can get one and/ or grants regardless of age in approved
programs.
Try these business websites,
sba.gov, score.org, business.com. forbes.com, score.org and wahm.com.
Go to search engines. Type in internship and volunteering t otry to
get your foot in the door of a new field.
Career Change Guide 2
Being afraid to change is
natural. It’s all about fear versus
saying I must look at it as change and adventure.
The world is alive. I see it for myself in all the research I do
writing a job book. There are plenty of
jobs. You need need some training and
guts. Often it takes less than a year or
two of training to get into a good-paying field.
In job book #1 in this superbook
and in A Free Spirit’s Search for Enlightenment, I know the truth. Despite all the bullcrap in the worrld, all
you ever are is your true nature. You
need money. Find a creer that uses the
energy in your natural inspired nature.
If you want something, you have
to do it.
Your age doesn’t matter. Just go until you die.
Career Exploration is in job
book #1.
Do what God put into your heart.
What do you like to do? Figure out a way to make money off it.
It’s not just about what you
like. It’s about what you feel is good
as a cause in helping people.
Be realistic. Some people are unemployable or do not fit
certain careers.
Who are you really not who you
are in your fantasies? Some people are
introverts or get angry easily.
What real skills do you have?
Don’t trust career tests because
what you’re good at is not the same as what you like.
Look at the labor market. There are only a handful of good
opportunities. Most fields are full of
people. There are too many skilled
people in lots of careers.
bls.gov/oco
Look for a career that’s going
up.
Consider your choices.
Make the best decision.
Can you job shadow, volunteer or
do an internship to check it out?
What can you do to serve others?
Career Change Guide 3
A lot of people work a job for
ten or more years, lose it then get depressed and even post-traumatic stress
disorder. I knew several people who
killed themselves after job losses.
Don’t take it personally.
My money book has all kinds of
stuff about living cheaply and simply.
Go to monster.com, vault,
careerbuilder, etc. and see what’s out there.
Take it easy. Start walking. Walking is meditation, thinking about your
life.
There are other things. Discover your true nature. Figure out a way to earn money doing
something you love to do.
Learn about yourself.
Figure out what to do, whether
to stay in this field or do something else.
You have to get up everyday and
release the natural inspired energy inside of you. If you don’t do this, you start to die. Demons enter into if you believe in that kind
of stuff and start telling you to kill yourself.
Don’t sit around. At the very least, go for a long walk
everyday.
If you can’t work, do
something. You can try freelancing at
guru.com. Get my money-making book for
ideas.
It's not about you. It's about
what you can do for someone else.
One guy says I live to serve
God.
Offer to help people.
In some steps with a job loss,
you have a right to sue for wrongful termination. Other than that, get over it.
Nothing ever changes. No matter how bad ypou feel, everybody else
is still hustling. You have to move on
and get back to looking for a new job.
Laid-off After 25 Years, 51 Years Old
The truth is that for most jobs, companies and organizations
don't want to hire older people for a lot of reasons.
They think you're old therefore settled in your ways and not
ambitious.
They think your brain and body are slowing down. You can't the do the job as well as a young
person.
They can't intimidate you like they can intimidate a young
person.
You might get a disease and their medical insurance rates go
up.
They don't want to train you then have you leave in a few
years.
They prefer younger people for the company image.
It's really tough for people over 50 to get a new job in
their old career. You have to live in
the real world. Don't expect the same
pay you got in your old job.
Take some things off your resume so that you don't look
overqualified. Tell the interviewer
you're willing to start at the bottom.
If you can't find a job in your field, look for any job.
The most logical thing is retraining to another career where
there's a demand and age is not important like the healthcare fields or
teacher.
I knew a guy who went from $150,000 a year to $30,000
as a veterinarian technician. He knew he was going to be laid off so he
started taking online college courses so when he was laid off he did his vet
tech internship and started working.
He wasn't too proud.
He knew that at 57 years old, he would not be hired as a TV anchorman
anymore because he looked too old so he moved on. That's what you have to do, live in the real
world.
How many people get laid off, feel insulted then are so vain
that they expect a new job in their field at the same wage? Get real.
Adjust.
Hard Times, No Job/ Lost My Job
Lots of people who lose their jobs are like a deer caught in
headlights. They're stunned. They don't know what to do. That's why I'm so big on my books. They help you know what the real world is and
what's real away from all that pop cultuire, brainwashing trash on TV and in
stupid magazines.
The easiest way to get down is to sit around feeling sorry
for yourself. First off, the TV
brainwashes you. You start buying into
that phony glitzy fake life on TV and feel you don't measure up.
Secondly, inactivity itself breeds more inactivity and
depression. Depression is an inner
mourning of self-betrayal. You feel bad
because you didn't honor who you were born to be. You did not become the person you wanted to
be because you were too lazy and wimpy.
If you try your hardest and still don't get a break, you
still got self-respect because in your soul, you know you gave it your
all. It's the wimps who get depressed
because they give up and sit around feeling sorry for themselves.
Thirdly, because you're feelin' down, you isolate yourself
from people so you start to look bad because you're not facing anyone so you
don't care about your looks. You get
agoraphobia too, afraid to face people.
You create your own brain biochemistry therefore your daily
mood through what you do or don't do.
Release your natural inspired energy on any given day and you've earned
your sense of self-respect and well-being.
Don't release it and you've betrayed yourself. Betray yourself for ten days straight and
you're feeling down and miserable.
The only solution is to stay active. Even if you do everything right you can to
find a job and still haven't found one, you have to be active everyday by doing
something to help keep you upbeat so you're ready when someone calls for an
interview.
If you drink alcohol and do drugs, it wears you out more so
you lose more respect for yourself for being such a pathetic wimp that you're
looking for a better feeling from some substance that wears off after a few
hours and leaves you feeling worse than before.
Try #155-158, #291 and #616.85-89 at the library for
psychobabble books about keepin' your sanity when you're feelin' down and out
but I suggest you bypass them and just read my free spirit book.
Nobody ever wants to downsize but most of us live in bigger
houses and apartments than what we need.
It can save you a lot of money.

Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act/ COBRA; Health Insurance When You Leave a Job
There is a federal program called the Consolidated Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act (Cobra) where you can keep medical benefits if you
were getting group health insurance coverage as an employee benefit for a
company with 20 or more employees then you quit, got laid off or your hours
were reduced.
If you agree to pay for the medical coverage out of your own
pocket, you can stay on the company plan for up to 18 months. If you're the spouse of an employed person
who died or you're divorced from him, you too may be eligible for Cobra if you
didn't have any other coverage.
If you're disabled within 60 days of leaving the company,
you can stay on Cobra benefits for 29 months as long as you pay the premiums.

Chapter 2. Career Change/ Find Something I Wanna
Do
Career Change/ Career Transition/ Career
Makeover
Career change or job change into another job is very popular
these days for several reasons. Firstly,
a lot of professions are being phased out as technology and automation deplete
the traditional working professions.
Secondly, companies go in and out of business all the time
as the demands of the marketplace and technology changes.
Thirdly, individuals in general, sometimes get tired at the
same company, sometimes feel like they're not appreciated and often feel the
grass is greener elsewhere so they look around for other opportunities in their
field which is a fair deal in today's world.
There's no loyalty like thirty years ago when you could
expect a company to take care of you for life if you worked there. Just as companies have no loyalty to anyone
when they're downsizing, neither should a worker have loyalty to a company if
they think they can do better elsewhere.
Ask yourself the following questions about your job:
Are you happy or unhappy there?
Is it a good job that you like?
Are you paid enough?
Do the people like you as a friend?
Are the people good?
Does your boss like you and support you?
Have you been promoted or rewarded lately?
Is the work atmosphere peaceful or tense.?
Are you near enough to your pension to stay or far enough
away to go elsewhere?
Is it a good company or could it fade away at any time?
If you want to leave, keep your mouth shut, take courses on
the side to upgrade and send out resumes where applicable then if you get an
offer, tell the boss. He might give you
a better counter-offer or say, "Adios." Either way, make that change.
If you're a boss and want to keep good workers, ask yourself
the following questions:
Am I paying him enough?
Why does he choose to work here over somewhere else?
Have I given him enough promotions or rewards?
Do I talk to him regularly and meet his mind on what he
wants out of the deal both moneywise and directionwise?
Does he have any complaints?
Have I told him lately that he's a good worker and asked him
what I can do to accommodate his needs?
Is he burning out, tired or unappreciated?
Do we have an open, trusting relationship?
Does he seem happy and in good health?
Does he enjoy the work?
Does he feel that you will reward him proportionate to his
efforts as times goes by?
One article I read said you have to spread yourself around
in the world of ideas to see what's out there.
There are three quick ways to do this.
1.) Look through this book especially the occupational
profiles section.
2.) Go to the library and bookstore and look around. Get a free booklet about adult or continuing
education courses in your area at the library.
3.) Look through the Yellow Pages of the phonebook. Get a college calendar from your local
college.
Part-time jobs are good.
You can register with a temp agency, work for a little while then live
free for awhile.
The other idea is the apprenticeship idea. Let's say you want to be a boatbuilder or
work in the circus. You have to go where
these places exist and immerse yourself in them. Take the lowliest job there if you must and
work your way up but you have to go there and start. People recognize who is motivated and mentor
them.
Go to any career center at any college, tell them you want
to change careers but don't know what direction you want to go in and they'll
probably help you for free by giving you an aptitude test then talking to you
and offering you reading material.
If you have to take a lower-ranking position with less pay,
don't be ashamed. It's better to have
any job while looking for another one and you never know that if you prove
yourself in this one, you could move up quickly.
Midlife Career Change/ Job Change
There seems to be four types of midlife career change or
even more as long as you can think up reasons.
1.) People who are burnt out and tired of what they're doing
to earn a living.
2.) Parallel Career which is a term used to denote that you
stay in your general field but move into a different job, position, company,
location, etc.
1.) People who have no choice. They are either laid off, their employer goes
bust, the industry is phased out or moves to Asia.
2.) People who have
health scares or work a physical job they can no longer do well. It's relatively common from some guy in some
high stress job to become an elementary teacher or a gardener.
I've seen plenty of people transition into other careers,
even people like lumberjacks transitioning into website designers.
If you're feelin' empty at middle age, read my book A Free
Spirit's Search for Enlightenment. It's
about how I went from system clone to free man in charge of my own life.
Try HF5384 or HD38 at the library.
