"Successful career change takes time and a well-developed plan," said Maniscalco, who is also past president of the Long Island Coaching Alliance. Following are some tips to help ensure a successful career makeover.
"This is an opportunity to find exactly the job you want in terms of the type of work, hours and location," she said.
That means making sure you have a complete LinkedIn profile ("and no unflattering content on Facebook or anywhere else on the Web"), an updated resume and strong interview skills.
So in addition to your network of business colleagues, family members and friends, consider finding a mentor or hiring a career coach to help you develop your strategy and keep you on track, she said.
