Ready for a career shift?

The Times have featured Careershifters and our MD Cath Roan today in their step-by-step guide to making a career change.

Also mentioned in the article is our soon-to-be-launched Shift Club.

We're launching the Club on 19 May and there will only be 50 places available. If you'd like to register your interest to be first in line and receive a FREE seven-part taster of our new Careershifters Guide, click here now!

Facing redundancy? Fearful of what the future will bring? Or simply looking for new inspiration about your own career change?

This BBC online magazine feature, just out yesterday, shows how losing your job may ultimately make you happier.

Read the stories of Neil Miller, who shifted from an insurance broker to castle gardner; Tom Burrough, who transitioned from advertising exec to baby food entrepreneur; Adrienne King, who moved from communications officer to countryside ranger; and Adam Hayes, who changed from city trader to graphic designer.

Needless to say, given our MD Cath is also a PR maestro, Careershifters also got a mention :-)

Check into our brand new Resources section.

Whether you're looking for a coach to help you navigate your career change journey, psychometric tests to better understand yourself, information on retraining courses, help with starting your own busines, assistance with writing your CV, or pointers on how to take time out from your career, we've started to pull together the people we believe are the best in the business in these areas.

Our aim? To create the most comprehensive list of recommended people, organisations and suppliers that can help you further in your successful career change.

And, to help us do that, we'd love to hear your suggestions on who we should include. Let us know here and let us know too what you think of the new section!

We’ve just launched our 2008 survey, which is designed to help us provide YOU, our users, with an even better service to accelerate your successful career change.

The survey should take you no longer than 10 minutes to complete and, to say a big thank you, we’re offering everyone who takes part the chance to win an iPod Nano, a magnum of champagne, or one of more than 10 other prizes.

To be eligible to win, you will need to complete the questionnaire by 10pm on Wednesday 29th October.
