Life is a one time journey and one needs to take the steps carefully because a journey very much depends on the path taken. A career decision is not tough but needs thorough studying and the next paragraph just states the factors involved in the choice of career.
There are a number of things you need to look at and evaluate before you even begin your job search. These include your credit report, social media, email addresses, phone numbers and positioning in your industry. Make time on your calendar to look at and adjust these things as needed. Take your time to update your resume and show employers you are really serious about landing this new 6 figure job. Make sure your cover letters are unique and customized for each employer.
Most likely you enjoy a financial cushion: savings, home equity, and a retirement fund. You also have demonstrated skills and experience. If you're employed, your company probably offers resources for developing new skills and managing the transition. Some places are just better for some careers. Your cost of living may be lower in a small city, but your opportunities to network will be limited. On the other hand, the lower cost of living may allow you to experiment with riskier ventures.
Despite the advent of the internet for advertising and information, the Yellow Pages are still an absolute must for many local businesses. Those ads aren't cheap, and you'll notice some businesses buy them year after year. I've had small business owners tell me NOT buying the ad one year cut their walk-in business in half. That said, the yellow pages can be a great resource. Most of them have a cross-reference index, so if you are interested in counseling, you can look at the index to see the various sections a "counselor" might be listed. Want to work with animals? Check out the cross-reference by type of animals - there's a lot beyond grooming and vets. The purpose is two-fold. You'll find out what businesses already exist in your town. And, you might get ideas for your area of interest by looking at other areas.
It varies by community, but the Library or the Chamber of Commerce usually maintain a list of active clubs, organizations, and associations with contact people, focus, etc. As you are going about your day, make it a point to notice bulletin boards. They're everywhere! Coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores, community centers, libraries, club houses, and even gyms. These days many businesses have a bulletin board where customers or members can post business cards, flyers, or other requests. Check out your local ones and see what's happening.
The various steps in choosing a career are assessing ones' strengths and interests. Looking at multiple options which are available in the market, i.e. the job scenario, the companies offering the position that would interest you and then studying the various courses which would help getting into certain companies/line of work.
