1. Take a career assessment quiz – there are many free options online. Consider your strengths, talents, and skills that perhaps aren’t being utilized to their fullest extent in your current position.
2. Find inspiration. Keep a “dream journal” where you capture your thoughts and feelings, or read up on different careers, making note of the ones that spark your interest.
