I am looking for a new position in communications and marketing. Problem is I have been at my current position for 14 years and seem untouchable to many employers because of that fact. I have had my reasons for staying, among them being stability for my family and the fact that the employer was putting me through school.
Yet to most employers these days, it just seems unambitious.
But I absolutely must get out of there now. How can I make myself look better and make employers look past the years?
Answer:
At least you know you're in a dangerous position because you've been in the same job 14 years. Most people wouldn't have a clue. You have a couple options but first find out where you're starting from.
This means taking some time to take a hard look at what you've done in 14 years. Start with 1. What tasks did you perform as a routine part of your day? 2. What did you do that wasn't a part of your job but became a part of it because you did it? 3. Did you take any employer paid for courses, workshops, seminars, classes in the years you were there? What were they specifically? 4. What software did you use every day? 5. Did you supervise or train any one? I don't care how long the training was, what did you train them to do? 6. Did you take any courses or trainings yourself, that you paid for or took free CEU classes? Write it all down. You're going to be surprised at what you already know.
Got your lists? Good. Now comes the 'options' I mentioned. Option 1. you can take your lists and hire a career counselor to go through it with you to find your next career move. Cost? I've seen them all over the map but usually $2000 is considered reasonable.
Option 2. Make an appointment with a career counselor at your local or state work force office. You want an appoint to evaluate your career options and that's all. Understand however, you'll get what you're willing to pay for. There are good and bad in both categories, yes some of the paid ones are lousy when it comes to being current in job trends. So take your time, interview them - it's your money.
There is a 3rd option and it's the most time consuming route - do it yourself. You're looking for ideas, and time appears to be important. Take option 1 or 2, both wouldn't hurt.
Doing it yourself starts with the link below. This will give you ideas on where to use your strongest skills and where. The last thing you want to do is get all happy about a move to find it's a dead end.
Good luck in your new career.
