"The past grabs us by the throat when we got to change careers," Jane Genova at NY State Bar Association

Career change should be just another business problem to solve.  Well, that's not the way most professionals are going about it.  More often that not, when pushed into shifting career gears, even the best and brightest fall apart.  The past grabs them by the throat.  They become stuck in "I coulda" and "I shoulda."  The four other demons which attack them are Self-hate, Ambivalence, Fear and Immaturity.

But there's a way to exorcise the demons and get on with moving onto What's Next.  That way is described in this lecture to the New York Bar Association Download LectureNYSBA.  Also covered is the 2010 way to create resumes and cover letters and manage interviews.   All that has changed since the 20th century.
