What field? – know what particular kind of field you want to get into and assess yourself if you have skills that can be honed and which can be suitable for the field you want to get into.

Management skills – look for companies that are open to train people for management that only requires basic skills.

A second degree – if you want a change of career, you might consider taking up a second degree that is specialized to the field or industry you want to get into.

Part-time job – getting a part-time job in a different field will surely give you new experiences. Start small and you will soon perfect it.

2.    Join a network. Network connects people to people and jobs. Remember that the best jobs are never posted online. These are filled up through word of mouth, with individuals forwarding recommendations of their friends, relatives or former colleagues to companies.
3.    Act now. Not next week, next month or next year. Now is always the right time to start your job search.
