Can Gen Z Successfully Navigate a Career Change in Today's Market?

You're a Gen Z worker having difficulty navigating the job market.

You desire work-life balance and a purpose-driven career. One that you can feel passionate about and a sense of purpose.

I remember leaving school with no qualifications and no sense of direction; I felt lost.

I decided to explore what I liked and disliked by working in different companies and different sectors.

So I went from one job to the next and the next.

Each time, I learnt something new about myself and got one step closer to my career destination.

Eventually, I stumbled into a job role and learned I had a passion for business.

I learnt that I had a thirst for knowledge.

All of this experience took time... took hard work... took patience.

As a coach, I always advise my clients that the foundations are important. You can't build a business without them, and you can't build a career without first laying the groundwork.

Do I wish I'd done things differently because it took some time to get where I am?

No, because I wouldn't be the coach that I am, and I wouldn't be able to provide the help and understanding that I now do.

I was excited to be approached by Newsweek to provide insights on their recent article about Gen Z and Career Change. I hope you find it interesting and useful.
