Changing Careers



Changing careers isn’t uncommon. Whether you’re looking to change careers at 40, or any age, it’s easier than you’d think. Thousands of Australians every year choose to take the leap, and you can too. Whether you’re looking at escaping from a job you don’t like, after more of a challenge or want to pursue your passions, there’s no reason why you can’t. On average, every Australian will have 17 jobs across three different industries over their working lives.

With increases in technology, automation and a more global working environment, this is only going to push career changes even more. The best advantage you can have when changing careers? The right training. In the next ten years, 50% of the working population won’t have the right IT and technical skills needed for the jobs of tomorrow. More than ever, upskilling and ensuring you have the right knowledge behind you are the driving force behind changing.

With so many Australians choosing to take the plunge and change careers every year, what are some of the reasons so many are unhappy with their job? A recent study found that there tends to be four main factors which cause workers to be unhappy with their current employment. These include:


  • Career Progression

    33% of Australians choose to leave their job because they lack challenge and have lost interest. This also includes seeking out better pay, working conditions and pursuing lifelong goals

  • Negative Experiences

    22% of Australians change careers because of a bad experience in the workplace, including their boss and fellow employees.

  • External Factors

    18% of Australians leave because of factors outside of the workplace, including redundancy, moving city and health issues

  • Improve Work Conditions

    12% of Australians leave because of boredom, lack of work/life balance and unhappiness in the industry. This also includes threat to job security, usually as a result of automation
