Are you feeling stuck in your current career or hungry for new challenges and a more aligned career trajectory? 

If so, it might be time to consider a career pivot. 

Today we’re here to share the 5 high-demand jobs that can help create a seamless career transition and how That’s Good HR can help.

The Benefits of a Strategic Career Pivot

Ultimately, there are many different reasons you might consider changing careers – and it’s not at all uncommon. In fact, according to Apollo Technical folks between the ages of 18 and 24 are estimated to switch jobs an average of 5.7 times! 

While the job search isn’t easy, a career pivot is absolutely possible and the opportunities are *almost* endless.

So, here’s why you may be feeling the career change itch:

New Career Challenges + Growth

One of the main benefits of reinventing your career is the opportunity to take on new challenges and experience new personal and professional growth. 

Stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to new skills, perspectives, and experiences that you may not have known were possible outside of your first role – and that’s okay. 

A career shift isn’t always about the monetary wins or a title increase. Sometimes it’s simply about exploring the full range of your talent, pushing boundaries, and leaning into your potential. 

More Aligned Career Trajectory

A strategic career pivot can help align your professional path with your long-term goals. Whether it’s working your way up the corporate ladder or aiming for better work-life balance, reinventing your career can help you steer your professional life in a direction that feels genuinely fulfilling and purpose-driven.

Plus, a career trajectory that feels aligned with your goals usually leads to increased emotional well-being and personal fulfillment – a positive all around.

Increased Earning Potential

Embracing a new career path can be financially rewarding. Think of it like upgrading your professional resume with a set of shiny, new qualifications that are not only fulfilling but also have the added benefit of a higher salary. When your skills are highly sought after, it often translates to a more generous paycheck. 

On average, earning potential typically increases anywhere from 3-5% when changing jobs (Apollo Technical). So, while a pay increase in the event of a career pivot isn’t always the case, it can definitely open the doors to new opportunities, including financial benefits.
