Most people plan their careers only a few times in life: when graduating college, during a career change, or due to a move. But according to Find Your Dream Job guest Anne Lapour, you should continue to plan your career on a regular basis. Anne says our personal life changes affect our careers, so as we evolve in life, we evolve in our work, as well. Self-reflection can give you clarity on what matters to you, and research will allow you to develop new skills that you can use to plan your next step. Networking is also a crucial piece and can lead to opportunities you might not have known about otherwise.

Whether you’ve been away from the workforce for a few months or a few years, it can feel challenging to find your way back. But you can relaunch with confidence, says Find Your Dream Job guest Heather Black. Heather states it isn’t uncommon to have times away from working a job, and being unemployed is a great time to level up your skillset. Before you apply for a new position, consider what you can bring to the table. Heather suggests learning about various options and deciding which skills you have that would apply to those positions. Volunteering is a great way to experience new places and cultures, and can help you decide which field to explore further, as well as give you the needed experience.

If relocation is in your future, the time to look for a new job is now. Don’t wait until after the move, says Find Your Dream Job guest Kimi Schiefer. Kimi suggests adding in your upcoming move when filling out your current location on application materials. And while it’s fine to be open to different opportunities, your communication with a hiring manager should stress how much you want the job they’re hiring for. Kimi also recommends using LinkedIn to connect with people in the new city before you move. Having a network in place will be helpful as you navigate a job search in a new location.
