Your dream or current career not going as planned? Then you need a backup career plan. Here are 5 ways to prepare your plan B and keep life stress-free.

A buried passion, or your second-best dream - your Plan B is not just a random job. Think and introspect, what are you curious about, what do you like to do, and what excites you other than Plan A?

Many skills can be applied across various career fields, like problem-solving, writing, teamwork, or coding. Find job roles that require the application of such skills and, at the same time, fit your preferences.

Not sure if the backup plan will work? Well, do an internship for a short period of time, do a project or take a part-time role and understand what you like. With real experience, you will be able to make a better choice

Start deep research by watching YouTube videos, following LinkedIn career pathways and building your network. Use AI tools to list down roles that match your interests. This will give structure and clarity to your plan.

There is nothing wrong with increasing your skill set. Just one simple new skill can open various career options. Start learning, and at the end of the day, Plan B might be better than Plan A.
