决定你是否需要转行

ss yourself
评估自身水平
if you decide a career change is in order you will need to evaluate your values, skills, personality and interests using self assessment tools, often called career tests. self assessment tools are used to generate a list of occupations that are deemed appropriate based on your answers to series of questions. some people choose to have career counselors or other career development professionals administer them but many opt to use free career tests that are available on the web。
a list of occupations to explore
列出一份待研究的职业清单
look over the lists of occupations generated through your use of the self assessment tools. they are probably rather lengthy. you want to come up with a much shorter list, consisting of between five and ten occupations. circle occupations that appear on multiple lists. circle occupations you may have considered previously and that you find appealing. write these occupations down on a separate list titled "occupations to explore."
ore the occupations on your list
仔细研究
for each occupation on your list, you will want to look at the job description, educational and other requirements, job outlook, advancement opportunities, and earnings。
