Career Change Objectives

Sara Said:

Could people advise me on how to make a mid life career change? (UK)?

We Answered:

Ok so you know which political party interests you. So that's a start. You already evaluated your interest.

You can use the job search engines to find jobs by using keywords that match your interests and the location where you want to work. If you narrow your search it will help you focus your job search and will give you more relevant job listings to review and less non-relevant job listings to go through.

And when you'vee found some companies and industries you should research them and see if they are right for you then enlist in a job opportunity. (But make sure it is in the area you want to work in. Next thing you know they want you in Africa or something!) Try to make a resume for the career you would like to pursue. You sound very smart so I am sure you can do this!

But when you do get accepted don't accept right away. Make sure what they are offering is good for you. Explore the job offerings that is the best to your expectations.

As for your health record you shouldn't stress over it. Like you said they look at it after your hired. Plus some of what you said was accidental like the knee thing.

And be positive!

EDIT: Damn you people! I said serious answers! Gosh! I mean I'm posting this question in every question I answer.

Dave Said:

Career change to Police Officer... Any Advice?

We Answered:

Most departments do not look over the resume' very much. They have extensive applications that do a much better job of telling them about you than a resume' can.

But if you feel you must, then a good objective is to "obtain a position with a reputable department in order to develop into a top criminal investigator."

Sponsorships? It depends upon what state you are in, and what academies you are applying to. As for the academy I work for, you do not need a sponsorship you only need to apply and be accepted.

By the way, 27 is not too late for an academy, the average age at mine is 25. We have had people make career changes and start the academy at 50.

Good luck.
