The phrase use it or lose it is often used when talking about our muscles. When we don't use a muscle, it atrophies and becomes weaker. The same applies to careers! If you are thinking of changing jobs and have been in your current profession for more than 10 years, this may be a good time to make the move. You will want to think about your strengths and skills as they relate to your new job choice.

1. How to choose the right career for you
If you're wondering how to choose the right career,
the best place to start is with yourself. Taking the
time to assess what you enjoy and what traits you
have that make you great at your job will help you
gain clarity about your preferences and provide insight into your
strengths and weaknesses, both of which are integral parts of making an
informed decision about your future career. If you've never asked
yourself these questions before, don't worry; there's no time like the
present! Simply read on to learn more about figuring out what career
path might be best for you by using the answers to these questions as a
guide.
Do what makes you happy
It is important that you find a job that fits your personality and interests.
This way, it will be easier for you to stay motivated and put forth your
best work. You may need to do some research on which jobs are
available in your desired field and then apply. Or, start by talking with
friends or family members who have jobs in the same profession.
Everyone's different
Most people don't know what they want to do with their lives until they
get a little older. And it's not just that they might not be sure of what
they want to do, but they might also be unsure of what careers are
available. For example, someone who loves animals might not know that
there are actually jobs in veterinary science or animal care. It's
important to take some time and explore your interests by researching
different careers.

2. Get Help
Finding a new job is one of the most daunting tasks in life. There are so
many factors that go into choosing a place where you can be happy:
salary, benefits, location, company culture. But while these details are
important and should not be ignored, they cannot account for all of your
needs. You also need to take into consideration what kind of work
environment makes you feel alive and fulfilled. When looking at
potential jobs, ask yourself these questions: What do I love? What am I
good at?
Careers are not static
Careers are constantly changing and evolving. Just a few decades ago,
many people’s careers were based in one industry or field. Today,
however, most professionals take on several different types of roles
throughout their careers. This means that it can be difficult to identify
what type of career might suit you best and what your long-term goals
may be.
Identify your goals
Your goals are one of the most important factors in deciding on a career.
What do you want? Do you want to be an entrepreneur or work with a
team? Would you prefer to work outdoors or indoors? What types of
people do you like being around? Are there specific skills that interest
you, like accounting, engineering, or managing people? Where would
you like to live: rural, suburban, or urban? There are many questions
that need answering before choosing a career.
