金融危机现在也算是过去了，人们又重新开始考虑转行的问题了。身在职场的你，是不是也在考虑这个问题呢？人说，三思而后行，我们就来看看在你准备转行前，应该考虑哪些问题。
de If You Need a Career Change 决定你是否需要转行
Before you begin thinking about making a career change you have to decide whether you actually need one. You may just need to find a new job, not an easy task, but certainly simpler than an entire career makeover。
在你开始想转行之前，先想想你是否真的需要转行。你也许只要找份新工作，虽然不简单，但是比起对整个职业生涯都做改变还是比较容易的。
ss Yourself 评估自身水平
If you decide a career change is in order you will need to evaluate your values, skills, personality and interests using self assessment tools, often called career tests. Self assessment tools are used to generate a list of occupations that are deemed appropriate based on your answers to series of questions. Some people choose to have career counselors or other career development professionals administer them but many opt to use free career tests that are available on the Web。
如果你决定了转行的话，那你就要通过职业测试这样的自我评估工具来全面评估一下自己的价值观，技能，个性，兴趣。自我评估工具是据你对一系列问题的.答案产生最适合的职业清单。虽然有部分人喜欢向职业顾问或其他的职业发展专家咨询，但是大部分人还是喜欢利用在网上的免费职业测试。
a List of Occupations to Explore 列出一份待研究的职业清单
Look over the lists of occupations generated through your use of the self assessment tools. They are probably rather lengthy. You want to come up with a much shorter list, consisting of between five and ten occupations. Circle occupations that appear on multiple lists. Circle occupations you may have considered previously and that you find appealing. Write these occupations down on a separate list titled "Occupations to Explore."
仔细研究通过职业测试所得出的职业清单。结果可能会很长，而你想得到的是一个更短的清单，由五到十项职业清单组成。圈出在多个清单上出现的职业，以及你以前考虑过的职业，还有能够吸引你的职业。然后在另外一张清单上将这些工作列出来，并标记为"待研究的职业清单。"
ore the Occupations on Your List 仔细研究
For each occupation on your list, you will want to look at the job description, educational and other requirements, job outlook, advancement opportunities, and earnings。
在你列出的清单上面，看看职位描述，学历要求，以及其他要求，职业前景，发展机会以及薪金。
inue Narrowing Down your List 继续缩小清单范围
Pare down your list of possible occupations based on what you learned from your research. For example, you may not be willing to put the time and energy into preparing for an occupation for which an advanced degree is required, or you may consider the earnings for a particular occupation inadequate。
根据你做的调查尽可能的削减清单上的职业。例如，你可能不愿意花时间和精力在一个有高等学历要求的职位上，或者你应该分开考虑每个职位的薪金。
