Whether you're considering switching jobs, starting a search for a completely new job, or looking for a complete career change, often the hardest part is knowing where to start. This is where Pathfinder comes in.
Every person's career situation is unique, so the best tools avoid giving generic one-size-fits-all career advice. Instead, Pathfinder diagnoses your main career bottleneck and also recommends different sets of career coaching exercises depending on your own personal situation.
It's great because all the content is based off years of conventional career coaching best practices and exercises that have worked for literally tens of thousands of people.
If you want some formal guidance today on how to start a career change, using tried and tested exercises from experienced career coaches, then check out Pathfinder now.
Pathfinder is free - it will diagnose your primary issues and explain steps to overcome them so you regain forward progression. Some of the career coaching exercises it recommends come in paid bundles that vary depending on what the platform recommends for you.

One of the most comprehensive services I've seen is the official UK government resource called the National Careers Service. This is a free service that offers one-on-one job counselling, as well as an online library of resources.
They have a team of job counsellors who can help you figure out what job is right for you. They also have an online library of resources, which includes articles, videos, and quizzes.
It is completely free as it is a UK government run service designed to help boost national employment across England. If you're in the US, Canada or Australia, there are similar government-run services called JobBank (US), Job Bank (Canada) and JobSearch (Australia).

Audible is an online audiobook retailer and a subsidiary of Amazon. It offers over 150,000 titles to choose from, including best-sellers, new releases, and classics. The best career advice often comes in books - it's time get reading.
I love Audible because it offers a wide range of audiobooks to choose from. You can also listen to Audible books on your computer, mobile device, or through their app.

Audible books average around £15 each, but you can get a 30-day free trial with two free audiobooks before signing up for the £7.99 a month all-you-can-read membership. I recommend taking advantage of the free trial and listening to two audiobooks that can help you in your career journey.

Udemy is an online learning and teaching marketplace with over 100,000 courses and 24 million students. Learn programming, marketing, data science and more.
Udemy has a course for everything - including figuring out what you want to do with your life! I recommend their "Find Your Dream Career" course as a great starting point. It's comprehensive, but also very actionable. You'll walk away from this course with a much clearer idea of what you want to do and a plan to get there.

Courses on Udemy are typically around $200, but they often run promotions where you can get them for as low as $12. I recommend waiting for a sale before enrolling.

Resume.io is a simple, fast, and easy way to create a professional resume in minutes. With over 20 resume templates, you can customise your resume for all the employers you explore so that you promote the right skills and information.
