These are all such great tips! Fortunately, being a nurse, I have always been able to find work!

I can relate so much to this post. I started off as an Engineer, then a Translator and now I am doing Translation+ Photography + Blogging. I believe you should always do something that makes you happy. :)

Happy Holidays to you

This is such a useful post! My current career has nothing to do with what I studied for. I desperately needed an income so I took an office job. Now I'm pretty steadily building a career in real estate development.

I am actually a former staffing agency recruiter, with high volume recruiting, it is definitely important to have a resume that stands out and keeps up with the time, having an online resume website has increased in popularity as well.

This is such a helpful post for anyone looking for a career after college. This is why I think having a skill and marketing it well is so important! Job hunting is all about marketing yourself so people NEED you!

It's amazing how many skills we have that we may not think about. I haven't worked much in the field I got my degree in, but I also chose to be a SAHM while my boys are young. This will come in handy when they are older and I start looking for a job again.

This is seriously so great. I moved to a new country and haven't been able to work for the past two years but I have been blogging and building my social network. I'll be able to work again mid way through 2018 and I haven't had any ideas on how to rebuild my resume with a gap between jobs and this has definitely given me some ideas.

I have often thought about changing career fields and these are great tips for people looking to change and for people who are starting out!!

I can totally relate...in my experience you need to do your own thing sometimes!

I did schooling for Medical Transcription/Editing and yeah, that didn't exactly work out very long. I had a job for about the first year then that job field went to complete poo!

I was just talking about this with my son and daughter. Along with what to do if you don't love your chosen field like you thought you would.

You make some very good points about finding a job outside your field of study. It happens to many that the available jobs may not match your studies, but you can still get different ones. I like that you emphasize other skills - I actually used to do a lot of recruiting for a top consulting firm, and so many applicants had life experiences that applied to the job (even volunteer life experiences count) and the work they had done didn't correspond to their field of study. I started in psychology, got involved in tech, stayed in tech and slowly merged my psychology with tech by working in change management. Thanks for sharing your tips and Happy New Year!

This is great advice and so timely for lots of us!
