Perhaps you\u2019re overworked, underpaid or don\u2019t feel engaged with your daily tasks. Or perhaps you\u2019re a rock musician with a secret passion for accounting (hey, it happens!).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever it is, a career change could be the answer. But before you rush into making this major life decision, don&#8217;t forget to check on how your finances will cope with this career change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting-financially-ready-for-a-career-change\"><\/span>Getting financially ready for a career change<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it is true that money isn\u2019t everything, it plays a big role in your life &#8211; and naturally, your career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, your career also affects your finances as it is a key source of income to many of us. Hence, if you are considering a career change, you should have a checklist to ensure that your finances and career plan are in check:\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Make use of your current company\u2019s benefits<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does your current company offer perks like dental and vision coverage or a learning budget? Make use of these benefits before you make a switch.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cover any insurance gaps.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/rely-employee-medical-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">relying on your company\u2019s insurance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> coverage, you may need to get your own coverage. Your new company may not offer adequate coverage &#8211; and besides, your new medical insurance policy may have a waiting period of 30 days before coverage starts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out some affordable medical insurance plans <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/medical-insurance?src=menu_dropdown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Increase your emergency fund or continue building it.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to build an emergency fund that covers at least three to six months\u2019 worth of expenses &#8211; or even more. Changing your career can be risky as you do not know what to expect in a new industry or workplace, so it helps to have some financial buffer to fall back on if your new role doesn\u2019t work out immediately.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Plan how much you\u2019ll finance a career change.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re planning to pursue further education, think about how much it will cost and how you can finance it. For instance, do you need to take out a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/ptptn-repayment-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PTPTN loan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or a bank education loan? And if so, how will you manage the repayments?<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Plan ahead to estimate how your new career will affect your budget.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your new role requires you to take a pay cut, you\u2019ll need to adjust your spending to fit your new income. This could mean tracking your spending to see where you cut down on unnecessary expenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Identify-why-you-want-a-career-change\"><\/span><b>Identify why you want a career change<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides getting financially ready for a career change, don&#8217;t forget the money aspect of the new career direction you are heading into.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if you feel like you\u2019re being underpaid, you could try <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/are-you-being-paid-a-fair-salary\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">negotiating for a pay increase<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or look for a better offer elsewhere. This helps you figure out if you really want a career change, or if your problems could be solved by moving to a different department or to a similar role at a new company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0If you don\u2019t feel like you\u2019re doing meaningful work, consider how you can use your professional skills in a role that can be more financially rewarding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then there\u2019s the possibility that you really just want an entire career change. In that case, move on to the next tips!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prepare-a-career-change-action-plan\"><\/span>Prepare a career change action plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changing your career is a big life decision that needs careful preparation. Here&#8217;s what you can do to get ready.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Identify your career options<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people already know what they want. But if that\u2019s not you, here\u2019s what you can do to narrow down career options.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">List out your skills and interests that are relevant to your job search.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider the job market &#8211; what roles are in demand? Will they stay relevant in the near future? How much can someone in this role expect to earn?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a career assessment to explore roles that fit your personality, skills and interests.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk to a career coach or counsellor, who can help guide you through the journey of changing careers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To figure out if a new career is right for you, you could try volunteering, working on side projects after work or taking a short course related to the field. You could also connect with people who work in the industry to get first-hand insights. And you don\u2019t have to quit your job to start doing all this, either. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Prepare for the new career role<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is there a role you\u2019ve set your eyes on? Here\u2019s what you can do to get ready for your new role:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Identify the skills, qualifications and experience you need.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can do this by searching career resources online or by looking at descriptions on job search websites. Make a list of what you already know and what you\u2019ll need to learn.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Set goals.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know what the role requires, you can set the right goals to get yourself ready. At the same time, consider how you\u2019ll actually reach these goals. For instance, if your goal is to become a web developer, should you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/upskill-reskill-malaysia\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reskill yourself<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by enrolling in a coding bootcamp, taking online courses, or going back to school?<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Break down big goals into smaller ones.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breaking down your goals into daily targets can help them seem more achievable. For instance, if your goal is to complete an online course this month, you could break that down into a daily goal of spending one hour on your course.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Follow through.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, just keep going. As you train for your new career, you may need to adjust your goals and timeline, but stay on course, and before you know it you\u2019ll be ready to make the leap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Update your resume for a career change<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ditch your old resume, because changing careers means that you\u2019ll need an entirely revamped one. But that doesn\u2019t mean that you have to start from scratch &#8211; you can still sell yourself using your past experience. Here are a few tips to write a resume for a career change:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify skills that your current and new role have in common<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spin your past work experience to fit the role you\u2019re applying for<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include certifications (e.g. formal certifications or online courses)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include your side projects that are relevant to the role<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before giving a formal resignation letter, it\u2019s a nice gesture to talk to your boss in person (whether physically or virtually). You could let them know that you\u2019re interested in a career change. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After all, just because you\u2019re moving to different industries doesn\u2019t mean you have to burn bridges!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the key factors your should sort out before you make that leap to change
