I'm a certified career coach and I work with people like you who are in career transition
and in need of guidance and support. There's a special place in my
heart for single career seekers. It wasn't so long ago that I was
single myself and experiencing the same exact fears and feelings as you
are.
Even though it may not always seem this way, there is an enormous
amount of help and support out there for singles wanting to make a
career change. It's a great time to learn, grow, and explore your many
talents and personality traits. Over the next few blog posts we continue to look at the reasons why it rocks to be single and on the prowl for a

2. Career transition can teach you how to better manage your finances.
Sometimes when we make a change in our careers, our pocketbooks can feel the pinch. Maybe you've quit your "real job" in favor of a part-time position that can tide you over while you go back to school. Maybe you had to step down to an entry level position once you switched to a new industry where you had less experience.
The good news is, the money crunch is only temporary while you're in career transition. You can work through it, and still manage to splurge on something you'd really enjoy every now and then. What's more, being in career transition really teaches people how to be smart about money. It can help you identify and clarify your priorities in order to manage your money wisely.
Stay tuned next week for reasons #3&4!
Here's to having a career you love!
