When Your Career No Longer Fits with Mel Fox Dhar | 29


Have you ever looked at your career and thought, "I should be happy here, but something just doesn't feel right anymore"? In this episode of Cupcakes and Clarity, Lisa Pirinelli sits down with Mel Fox Dhar, a career strategist who helps senior leaders navigate career transitions, professional growth, and finding their next right move. Together, they explore what happens when your current career no longer aligns with who you are, how to recognize the skills and strengths you may be overlooking, and why making a career change doesn't have to mean starting over.

FAQ:

How do you know when it's time to make a career change?

You may be ready for a career change when your current work no longer energizes you, you've outgrown your role, or your professional goals no longer align with your current opportunities. Exploring what feels missing and identifying what you want more of can help you determine your next step.


How can you explore a new career without quitting your current job?

Start by researching the industry, connecting with people already working in the field, exploring free educational resources, and testing your interests through small experiences. You don't have to leave your job or make a major financial investment to discover whether a new direction is right for you.


Should you get a certification or degree before changing careers?

Not necessarily. Before investing in additional education, validate your interest in the career path. Talk to people in the industry, research job requirements, and determine whether a certification or degree is actually necessary for the opportunities you're pursuing.
