After being retrenched, I sought assistance from Careers Connect and managed to switch from being a Data Processing Geophysicist to a Robotics Process Automation Specialist. My Career Coach helped me discover possible career paths and encouraged me to take the first steps towards change, which I would never have thought possible

As you consider a career switch, take time to assess your situation and career ambitions honestly and thoroughly. Think about the underlying reasons for wanting to make a switch. 

I always wanted a meaningful job that helps the needy. I did not have any Social Service sector's experience, but I successfully took up my current job with my Career Coach's help - coordinate operations to assist elderlies. My Coach taught me to market my strengths and guided me on my possible career options.

“Learning something new to add to your CV is always a good idea, particularly if you are looking for a job that’s different from what you do now.  There’s a wealth of online courses, tutorials and evening classes out there.  Find out what might be relevant to the job you’re looking for and start learning.”
