Navigating Successful Career Transitions w/ Michael Glassock
How do you find personal fulfillment when switching careers?
Meet Michael Glassock!
Join us on this engaging episode as we navigate the realm of career transitions with our guest, Michael Glassock, a seasoned career transition coach from Great Britain. Michael generously shares his personal journey, marked by his father's Alzheimer's diagnosis, that led him to reassess his life and career aspirations. Listen in as he discusses his passion for coaching, the significance of self-awareness, and the importance of aligning personal values with career decisions. Michael's parting reminder? Don't delay making a career change and always prioritize personal fulfillment over purely monetary pursuits.
In the next chapter of this episode, we tackle the all-important topic of job applications - particularly for students and recent graduates. We bust the common misconception that teaching experience doesn't translate into corporate roles, and instead, highlight the transferable skills that teachers possess. Tune in as we discuss the need for tailoring cover letters and resumes to the specific job you're applying for and share tips on how to do so effectively. We underscore the importance of showcasing relevant skills and experiences from previous roles, even if they may not seem directly related to the role you're pursuing.
Finally, we move on to exploring the concept of self-confidence and its role in the job application process. This chapter provides practical advice on standing out from the crowd, personalizing cover letters and resumes, and communicating your passion for the organization you're applying to. Listen as we stress the importance of reaching out to the company prior to an interview and share insights on how confidence can be built through hard work and proactivity. We also touch on career transitioning, which may involve a shift in organizations rather than just roles, as illustrated by a success story from one of Michael's clients. Listen in to discover the significance of self-awareness and taking small steps to build self-confidence in personal and professional contexts.
