When Is It Time For A New Job?
from the American Counseling Association
Whether you’re a
highly-paid ex-
ecutive or have a
lower-level position,
you still are head to
your job each day
and try to do your
best. But is that job
doing its best for
you?
While
most of us need that
regular paycheck
in order to survive,
it shouldn’t mean being miserable in
order to earn a living. If your job isn’t
making you happy, it’s time to ask
some serious questions and to consider
the possibility of a job, or even a career
change.
The process starts with simply
looking at how your current position
is affecting you. Do you feel bored,
unchallenged and unmotivated in
the work you’re currently doing? If
so, they’re clear signs that it might be
worth considering an employment
move.
There are other questions to
ask yourself. Do you dread heading
off to work most days? Are Sunday
evenings depressing because you know
you have to be back at work in the
morning? Has the job simply become
uninteresting and isn’t really making
much use of your abilities and experi-
ence?
When you find yourself an-
swering yes to questions like these it’s a
good time to consider a change. When
someone continues in a position where
they’re bored and unhappy, it affects a
lot more of their life than simply those
hours at work. Personal mental and
physical health can suffer, family life
can be affected, and relationship issues
with a spouse are not uncommon.
If you do believe it’s time for
a major employment change, there’s a
lot of help available. Start with a visit
to your local library or bookstore and
browse through the many books about
making career changes that are avail-
able. A search online will also produce
a variety of articles about the right and
wrong ways of making a career change.
It can also be helpful to
consider working with a professional
counselor specializing in career and
employment guidance. He or she can
help you in defining your goals and
interests, and in developing an action
plan. The American Counseling Asso-
ciation website at www.counseling.org
has a Find A Counselor link that can
take you to a directory of counselors in
your area.
Being unhappy and unsatis-
fied in your work isn’t something you
should have to face. A good career
change can help bring a sense of
control over your life and excitement
about future opportunities.
