Deciding if a career change is for you
While losing weight and quitting smoking remain among the most popular
New Year’s resolutions each year, many more people resolve to change ca-
reers at the dawn of a new year.
Changing careers is a significant step, especially for men and women who
are firmly established in their fields. A career change can be just as rewarding
and life-changing as losing weight or quitting smoking, and there are some
things professionals might want to consider before resolving to change careers
in the new year.

Changing careers vs. switching jobs

Changing careers and switching jobs are not the same thing, and some
people may want the former while others may only be in need of the latter. A
full-fledged career change may require returning to school and a willingness
to start from the bottom. A job change typically allows professionals to stay
in their fields and move on to another position, whether it’s with their existing
employer or with another company.

Career trajectory
The direction of a person’s career may also influence whether or not they
want to make a career change. Established professionals mulling a career
change should consider their willingness to start anew. Many mid-career pro-
fessionals have worked for years to establish themselves in their fields and
within their companies. Switching careers does not mean that experience and
reputation is invaluable, but neither attribute may carry as much weight in a
different line of work, and that can affect career trajectory and future earnings.

Effects on others
Established professionals must also consider the effect that a career change
may have on their families. Married mid-career professionals should discuss

How to ask for a letter of recommendation
Knowledge, skills and personality can get students far, but having the right
people in their corners can open doors for new opportunities that students might
otherwise never have considered. Perhaps this is why recommendations are so
coveted when applying to schools.
Asking for a letter of recommendation is something that should be done with
forethought. The correct approach and proper timing can mean the difference be-
tween receiving a recommendation or not.
Who to ask
The first step for students is to decide who they want to ask for a recommenda-
tion. Select those teachers who know you well or can validate how you performed
or improved in class. Opt for a teacher whose class you recently took so the recom-
mendation reflects the student you are today and not the student you might have
been when you were younger.
It can also help to ask for a recommendation from teachers or staff who have
sufficient experience. Their input may carry more weight than someone whose ca-
reer is less accomplished. A well-established teacher who leads a class that per-
tains to your academic goals is a good fit.
Remember to consider the requirements of a college or university as well.
Schools frequently ask for recommendations from specific people, such as a teach-
er in a certain subject. Make the process easier

How to ace job

interviews when
switching careers
Millions of people change careers every year. Whereas professionals may
have once worked for the same company for the majority, if not the entirety, of
their careers, nowadays it’s not uncommon for men and women to change jobs
several times before reaching retirement.
Changing jobs and changing careers are not necessarily the same thing.
Professionals mulling a career change will have to consider a host of factors
that men and women looking to change jobs may never have to contemplate.
Such factors may include returning to school and lifestyle changes designed to
make living on less income more feasible.

Truck driver shortage affecting business

While traversing the nation’s high-
ways, drivers may not realize they are
in the company of people who help keep
the country’s economy flowing smooth-
ly. The various trucks seen on the road-
way are crucial economic components,
as are the drivers who toil hours on end
behind the wheel.
As vital as they are, truck drivers are
now in short supply, with some citing an
aging workforce, high turnover rates, in-
creased freight demand, and “lifestyle
priorities” that can make other industries
seem more attractive to would-be driv-
ers.
The economic advisor Morgan
Stanley reports that about 75 percent
of freight in the United States is moved
over the nation’s roadways by the rough-
ly three million truckers. The American
Trucking Associations says that about
an additional 50,000 drivers are needed
to meet deficits, particularly in the long-
haul sector of the industry. If the trucking
shortage goes unaddressed, industries
could falter and deliveries may be late.
In addition, rising costs of transporting
goods by freight companies may be
passed down to consumers. Industry
experts fear the shortage may almost
triple by the year 2026.
Analysts say this problem has been
festering for about 15 years. Howev-
er, the recession that began in 2008
masked the issue, and when the North
American economy strengthened once
again, the cracks in the system became
more apparent. The trucking lifestyle
isn’t attracting millennials and the in-
coming Generation Z individuals who
are interested in a work-life balance,
continues the ATA.
If consumers are wondering why
prices on certain goods have steadily
risen, they may have trucker shortages
to blame. Transportation costs have
been problematic for companies such
as PepsiCo, Halliburton, Hasbro, and
Tyson Foods, just to name a few. Tyson
has said freight costs spiked by an esti-
mated $200 million in 2018.
Experienced truckers who are inter-
ested in finding work or individuals new
to this employment sector may find that
odds of getting gainful employment are
in their favor. The demand for drivers
has resulted in freight companies offer-
ing higher salaries as well as signing
bonuses for qualified drivers. Trucker
compensation has risen as much as 12
percent a year in recent years, accord-
ing to Bob Costello, chief economist at
the ATA. That’s a considerable increase
in wages compared to other sectors,
which have barely budged recently. Ad-
ditionally, while current U.S. regulations
restrict commercial drivers license-hold-
ing drivers from operating across state
lines until they are 21 years of age, the
introduced DRIVE-Safe Act would es-
tablish an apprenticeship program for
individuals under age 21 who hold a
CDL to prepare them for interstate com-
merce.
Truck driver shortages are affecting
businesses. However, for those inter-
ested in a becoming truckers, there has
never been a better time to sign on.

Vocational schooling can pave the way to high-paying jobs
Many students believe that the next natural step after graduating from high school
is to go off to college. Secondary education has become such a common transition
that many parents begin saving for college tuition as soon as their children are born.
Although college can be the next chapter in a student’s education, many teenagers still
choose to attend trade school.
Television personality Mike Rowe says the country is in the midst of a skilled
labor shortage because workers lack the necessary training to fill the hundreds of thou-
sands of available jobs. Lack of information may drive the notion that trade jobs are
nothing more than a backup plan if college doesn’t pan out. However, by realizing
that trade jobs, along with short-term vocational training, is a smart investment — and
eventually a lucrative career choice — attitudes about trade schools and labor-inten-
sive jobs may shift.
A great number of college graduates enter the workforce with degrees that may not
help them land jobs. And these students typically carry thousands of dollars in tuition
debt. Many college grads are underemployed and working in jobs that aren’t even in
their fields of study. Career and technical schools help students develop specialized
skills that make graduates immediately marketable in their chosen fields, and trade
salaries can be very competitive.
The following are some of the fastest-growing and highest-paying trade careers
to consider, based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Forbes magazine.
• Construction manager: Construction professionals with great organizational and
communication skills can enjoy high earning potential as construction managers. Ex- • Dental hygienist: Cleaning teeth and inspecting mouths for disease is an impor-

Things to look for in a new job

Change plays a big role as people
ring in a new year. At the dawn of a
new year, some people resolve to live
healthier in the months ahead while
others might make financial resolutions
in an attempt to improve their bottom
lines.
The decision to change jobs is an-
other popular resolution at the dawn of
a new year. Professionals change jobs
for various reasons. But regardless of
what’s behind a career change, many
people can benefit by looking for things
in a new job that can make them happy
both professionally and personally.
• Salary: Of course everyone would
love to earn more money when chang-
ing jobs, but there is more to changing
jobs than just improving your bottom
line. As you begin your job search, con-
sider how much you currently earn and
if that allows you to live a life you love. If
so, don’t overemphasize finding a new
job that pays considerably more than
your currently earn. On the flip side,
young professionals who want to start
a family in the years ahead should con-
sider the costs associated with such a
decision and how the salaries they earn
at their next jobs may affect what they
want down the road.
• Work/life balance: Before begin-
ning your search for a new job, think
about why you want to switch careers
or companies. Long hours often leads
to burnout. If you’re looking for a new
job because you’re burned out, try to
find a job that affords you a better work/
life balance. A study from the Happi-
ness Research Institute in Copenha-
gen found that, with the curious excep-
tion of people who work more than 55
hours per week, stress rises accord-
ingly with the numbers of hours worked
each week. Keep that in mind if your
goal is to find a job that affords you a
better work/life balance.
• Satisfaction: When attempting to
achieve a better work/life balance, it
can be easy to overlook satisfaction
at work in exchange for more time at
home. But studies have shown that
feeling satisfied by what you do can
have a profound impact on your overall
happiness. It’s possible to find an en-
gaging career that still affords you time
away from work, and such a career can
ultimately pave the way toward a hap-
pier life.
• Commute: Bending over back-
wards simply to get to work and then get
home from work can have an incredibly
negative impact on your life. A study
from the Office of National Statistics in
the United Kingdom found that com-
muters, especially those who spend
between 60 and 90 minutes commuting
to work, have lower life satisfaction and
lower levels of happiness compared to
people who don’t commute. Before ac-
cepting a job offer, estimate your com-
mute time to and from the new office
and try to determine the impact of that
commute on your quality of life.
Many people aspire to find a new
job at the dawn of a new year. Job
seekers should consider a host of fac-
tors before switching jobs to make sure
they make the best decisions.

Top tips for a successful job interview
Understand the company and what it does. This will be a very important fac-
tor to the employer. Make sure to research the company as part of your job interview
preparation. You want to show the employer that you have a real interest in working
for them and are not just looking to get a job.
Come prepared to be interviewed. Learn the types of questions that are gen-
erally posed in job interviews and think about what specific questions the inter-
viewer might ask you.
Listen and answer questions thoroughly. It’s easy to find yourself thinking
ahead in an interview, but the interviewer may be able to tell you are not listening or
fully engaged. Try to stay in the moment and really listen to the interviewer’s ques-
tions.
Possess career goals and direction. Know your career “roadmap” and be
able to describe the path you‘ve taken to where you are now and where you hope
that path will lead.
Understand your strengths. Know what you are really best at, whether it be
working with the public, crunching numbers or using a particular application.
Know what accomplishments you’ve made on the job or in your personal life.
You want to be able to share stories about the successes you’ve had, whether they
were in previous jobs (consistently meeting or exceeding sales quotas), in school
(getting on the Dean’s List or lettering in a sport), or in your personal life (becoming
an Eagle Scout or finishing a road race with a personal-best time).
Convey your soft skills such as the ability to work in a team, problem-solving
skills, and being dependable, organized, proactive, flexible, and resourceful.
Be open to learning new things. Hiring managers like to know that you won’t
be resistant to change in the way you may have done things before, such as using
a new technical tool, software application or process.
Demonstrate leadership abilities. Show that you have the ability to take
charge by mentioning situations in which you have taken the initiative, volunteered
for an assignment, assumed responsibility for achieving goals or results, led a group
or team of people or delegated well.
Be likeable. Obviously, you want to present your best self in the interview by

being polite and not doing things like interrupting the interviewer or being sarcastic.
Employers want to see that you are warm, friendly, easygoing and cooperative with
others.
Display confidence about who you are and what you bring to the table. The
interviewer will expect you to be nervous, but based on your demeanor and your
responses to their questions, they will still want to see that you are confident (but
not arrogant).
Be aware of your body language. Sit up straight but try to relax. Maintain eye
contact with the interviewer, avoid fidgeting and don’t forget to smile! Of course, it
goes without saying that you should make sure your overall physical appearance
is neat, clean and appropriately attired based on the job and the company.
Know what YOU are looking for and have questions of your own. Here are five
“must-have” questions that you should consider posing to the hiring manager in
an interview:
1. What created the need to fill this position?
2. What do you feel are the key skills required to succeed in this job?
3. What are the three biggest challenges I would face in the first six months?
4. What has to happen in the first six months to convince you that you’ve
hired the right person?
5. How does this position relate to the achievement of the company’s
(or department’s, or boss’s) goals?
These questions are focused on the needs of the company and the position,
and will show the interviewer that you are genuinely interested in the opportunity
and what you can bring to the table. The answers to these questions will help you
determine if the job and the company are right for you.
Lastly, above all, be yourself. Relax and enjoy the conversation. Whether or
not an interview leads to a job offer, it is valuable experience and a learning op-
portunity for the next interview.

Résumé writing rules to follow
When professionals are ready to take a new step in
their careers, it’s wise to revisit their old résumés and see
what can be done to update them for the current day and
age. This is especially true for people who may have been
out of the job-seeking arena for some time.
Writing a résumé can be complicated. The rules for
finding a new job are continually evolving, and résumés
remain a big component of that process. The following
are some current résumé trends that will help profession-
als stand out from the masses.
Consider design
Design your résumé so it will look good whether it’s
viewed on a screen or a mobile phone or printed on pa-
per. Classic serif style fonts can make a résumé seem
dated, so select modern fonts that are crisp. The idea is
for the résumé to look balanced and clear, without being
overdone with modifications, like italics and bold lettering.
However, a spot of color could provide much-needed at-
tention.
Be brief yet effective
A concise design is key. Many recruiters spend little to
no time reviewing the hordes of résumés they receive. In
fact, automated résumé bots may initially screen the doc-
uments to thin the crowd. According to data from the 12th
annual Mystery Job Candidate survey by CareerXRoads,
the average recruiter spends six seconds looking at a ré-
sumé. If a résumé is lengthy or doesn’t attract attention, it

will likely be ignored. Stick to a single-page and make sure
wording is brief but meaty.
Keep juicy details up top
Format the résumé so the most pertinent information is
within the top one-third of the document. Beef up a sum-
mary statement and use it in lieu of an objective. Make
sure that summary includes keywords that promote your
skills and experience to potentially lure the recruiter into
reading more.
Tweak job titles
Mimic phrasing from the job listing to beat the bots and
get résumés flagged for review. Slightly change job posi-
tion titles so they mirror the wording used. For example, if
a recruiter is looking for a “financial account manager,” and
you have the experience, list your title as something like
“Senior manager of new financial accounts.”
Who you know
Landing a new job is often about what you know, but
getting a foot in the door is also largely influenced by who
you know. Include any professional groups to which you
belong or alumni associations. Who knows? The recruiter
may have the same alma mater, and you can bond over
your shared mascot.
Keywords, phrasing, formatting, and having the right
skills for the job can ensure a résume is seen by a recruit-
er, and perhaps even lead to a new career.
