Episode 20: From Chartering Manager to Control Manager in Shipping
It was a pleasure to speak to Jon Adams this month. Jon originally trained as a Shipbroker, going on to work as a Chartering Manager for a Shipowner for 12 years. Within the last year, Jon has transitioned into a Control Management role, choosing to continue to work for the same employer, but in an entirely different capacity, as opposed to changing career completely. Jon’s career transition is an interesting one to listen to, as it encourages us to realise that a complete career change is not always what’s required for someone to feel fulfilled and satisfied in their work again.
Jon shares his experiences of delving into other career options, and the ‘red flags’ these experiences threw up for him. He also talks through how he negotiated the creation of a whole new role in his current organisation that aligned well with a lot of what he was hoping for in a new role, with the added ease of staying in a company and industry he knew incredibly well. This new role may not be the end destination for Jon, as he discusses the need and desire to remain open to where his career goes next.
