Are you a working professional contemplating change?
Let’s examine some of the possible situations you could be in.
- You are feeling “burnt out”, stuck in your job and not experiencing job satisfaction
- You might be one of those who talked yourself into the wrong profession or listened to other people’s opinions of which career was most in demand or high paying, and you made a choice. Now you discover that you were wrong and want to re-examine your career path.
- You want to switch fields but are fearful of change and unsure of what job will best suit you.
- Your organisation could be going through a process of restructuring and roles or jobs have been reassigned and you are unhappy about it. You are unable to fit into that role.
- Maybe you want to take advantage of the growth opportunities in your Company but do not know if you are qualified to position yourself as the ideal candidate.
- Perhaps you have taken a career break due to other compulsions and now want to get back into the workforce but are sceptical of whether you can succeed. A lot could have changed during your absence from work.
Yes, this could be a challenging period for you as you struggle with the idea of change. Without a proper support system, you could experience stress, anxiety and possible disruptions in your family life.
And that’s not the ideal situation for you. You desire a career that will bring you happiness and satisfaction. You want to be in a position where you wake up every morning with a renewed sense of purpose.
Fortunately, help is available.

No, it is never too late. Unlike the general opinion, it does not always mean you have to start from scratch. Your experience and transferrable skills acquired over the years can open the doors to opportunities or positions you never thought possible. You need to first understand why you are opting for a change, you will require a change in mindset, get clarity on your goals, explore what skill sets are required, fill in the gaps and prepare yourself. If this sounds challenging, get the help of our expert Career Counsellor at Elysian.
4. I have a career break of 10 years. Can I restart my career now?
Of course! Taking a break from your career for whatever reason does not mean you can’t restart it later. With the right skills, experience, and motivation, you can definitely restart your career and make it a success.
The first step however would be to assess your skills. Then evaluate your knowledge and consider what you need to update or learn to be competitive in the job market.
Many people face a block when it comes to taking that first step as they are unaware of what their skills are and what is needed to make a comeback. Our Certified Career Counsellor at Elysian can guide and enable you to get a new lease on life with a career that will be best suited for you.
