Experts predict that each individual will change careers between 3 - 5 times during their working life. These changes can occur for a number of reasons, including:

• Wrong choice of career when young
• Career not as enjoyable as believed
• Technology development has led to changes within industry
• Lack of progression within chosen field

Too many career changes can be detrimental to successfully finding employment but if changes can be substantiated, most employers will understand that the job seeker is interested in finding a new job that's suitable for his chosen career change, or to move forward within the job seeker's chosen career.
