Deciding to take steps toward changing your career direction, or moving into a new role, always comes with anxious moments, no matter how experienced or inexperienced you are. Now add that you are concerned about your disability becoming a barrier.
Questions like, is my present job tapping into my true potential? Do I have the right attitude and behaviour to advance in my career? How do I prepare for this next step? What are my transferrable skills, strengths and limitations? How do I develop a career plan that will move me towards my goal? How do I move beyond people seeing my disability only and see my ability, skills, and potential?
These questions can hold you back from making the decisions toward your next step and overcoming these self-limiting beliefs of past experiences, assumptions and self-judgments. Moving through these beliefs with help will create new self-beliefs for you—for example, networking. Now, the idea of networking is challenging. However, reframing what it means in the traditional sense to something like having conversations with people becomes a more manageable activity.
EmployCare career consultants can help you move through these questions to achieve your employment change. Through 1:1 career counselling sessions and developing your skills through our training, you will be on your way toward your employment pathway.
