> Careers, The Correct Qualifications

Knowing what those at the top of your chosen industry have accomplished in order to reach their positions will be one of the most helpful things you can do for your career. Getting these correct qualifications for yourself should be your first priority as far as achieving your goals.

Go online and look at resumes that are posted. Check out the bios of top CEOs. Read articles on the business and as many books as you can find on the industry in which you are interested. Because few people will follow the same path to the top, make a list of entry level, mid level, and upper level positions that different people in the business have acquired. You may find that it is easier to make your way into a related industry and then transfer over to your career of choice. By looking at what those who have come before have done, you can shape your path accordingly.

Education is the logical first step when training for a career. Online classes and night school have made it possible to train for a new career while maintaining your day job. In the event that you need a higher degree that you can’t get through the Internet, there are a variety of grants and loans available to fund your education. If you are confident that the career you are training for is really what you want and that this career will give you the funds to repay the steep fees for a higher degree, this may be the best choice. Networking in grad school may do more for your career than the classes you take.

On the other hand, hands on experience is a great teacher as well. Look for assistantships, internships, and volunteer work in the industry of your choice. You may find that another career is more to your liking. The process of acquiring the correct qualifications for a given career may show you a totally different career that you didn’t even know existed.
Starting a New Career

Starting a new career can be a daunting venture, especially when you have acquired a lifetime’s worth of financial responsibilities and obligations. Nothing, however, is impossible, no matter how strapped for time and money you are currently. All it takes is a well thought out plan and diligence and you can soon be starting a new career.

First, think very seriously about what you want to do. Why have you chosen this new career? Is it completely different from what you are doing now? Are there aspects of your current job that apply to your new career as far as contacts, experience, or education? Does this new career require learning a whole new skill set and industry or is it a matter of upgrading your education to the next level? Make a list of all the assets you already possess that you can bring to a new career. Include personal skills and qualifications as well as natural instincts and inclinations. Some things can’t be taught and if you have a natural predilection for the skills needed for your new career, this may take you further than you think.

Next, determine the steps you will need to take in order to arrive at a position in your new career. To help you do this, talk to people currently working the job you have chosen. How did they get where they are? Would they have done anything differently? Do they have any recommendations? Do you need a degree? Online classes and schools are all over the internet and will allow you to study while keeping your job. Do you need an apprenticeship to establish yourself? Try and find one that pays you. Even a small stipend can help you offset financial costs at home.

With planning and patience, you can start a new career without putting your current home situation at risk. Take one step at a time and allow yourself as long as it takes to complete it before going on to the next one. Your new career isn’t going to disappear while you spend time properly preparing for it.

MIAMI, FL —
Atlantis Business Development Corporation, Inc.
(OTCBB: ABSD) has announced a significant funding contribution to its
wholly owned subsidiary, EFTAS. Atlantis CEO Christopher Dubeau has
pledged that Atlantis Business Development Corporation will fund EFTAS, a
sum of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) to support its operations.

EFTAS.org is an organization dedicated to helping active military personnel
find employment prior to and on the heels of their return home from active
duty. The EFTAS website www.eftas.org will provide the functionality of the
leading electronic job posting websites, such as www.monster.com and
www.hotjobs.com, but for military personnel only.

Atlantis CEO Christopher Dubeau noted, “Atlantis has been moving forward
very rapidly with its business unit EFTAS, and has received broad support
from community focused businesses eager to participate in this worthwhile
program. Atlantis has committed its total support to this business endeavor
and is very excited about the launch of its EFTAS subsidiary.”

In addition to the planned job posting website, Atlantis is in the process
of exploring other avenues for supporting the employment needs of our
military personnel, such as collaborating with career fair operators, job
training organizations, direct hire employers, and executive search firms.

Thousands of military personnel are stationed around the globe fighting for
our country. Many of these brave patriots come home to find themselves
without jobs. Atlantis feels that EFTAS can help make a difference
– giving military personnel an opportunity to interact with potential
employers.
