And if so, what can they do for you?

Let’s start with some questions:

  • Are you feeling unfulfilled in your current role?
  • Have you applied to multiple jobs without success?
  • Are you wondering if you are on the right career path?
  • Do you want to switch industries altogether?
  • Is your career not advancing in the way you want?

If you’ve answered “No” to all of these questions, congratulations. You can stop reading now and move on to the next interesting story that you’ve bookmarked.

If you’ve answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then the next question to ask yourself is “What am I going to do about it?”.

It can be quite daunting to think about your career and not quite know where to go next, and it often helps to talk it through with someone.

Who should you talk to?

If you’re lucky enough to have an understanding partner then they are definitely a good place to turn when faced with career dilemmas.

After all, who else knows you as well as they do, and knows the situation that you find yourself in.
