Stuck between a job and a hard place?

Our Web TV show gives you all the advice you need for a change in career

Chat date: Tuesday 4th August
Chat time: 14:00

Can you imagine working in the same job for the next 40 years? The chances are probably not. The majority of us expect to change our career path at least once in our working lives. But why are so many of us still reluctant to take the plunge?

The Careers Advice Service estimates that millions of British workers either do not enjoy their current job or actively dislike the field they are in. Whether it be learning something new, earning more money or alleviating feelings of frustration – a career change can have both personal and financial benefits. But whatís holding us back?

Perhaps we are scared that we lack certain skills or donít have the right qualifications. Others may be put off because they canít afford to risk seeing their income drop while changing careers - even if itís only for a short period of time. Some of us simply donít know what we want to do next in life. With the myriad of careers out there, choosing the one for you can be tricky if you have no idea which field you want to move into.

If youíre thinking about a change in career - it might not be as difficult as you first think. Our live and interactive Web TV show with Jennifer Kneafsey from the Careers Advice Service will take you through everything you need to know - from identifying career goals, to advise on training and funding.

Jennifer Kneafsey will be joining us live online at webchats.tv/chat/stuck_between_a_job_and_a_hard_place on Tuesday 4th August at 2pm to discuss changing careers
