As we get closer towards the end of the year, we start thinking of making changes. One of the changes is whether or not to find a new job. We often reflect on how the year has been and if it is time to move on. Here are five great reasons to start a new job search.
- No Room for Growth: At this point you may have reached the top of your game at your current company. There are no more promotions in site and motivation begins to dwindle. Growth is one aspect that really pushes you to do better and challenges you. If you are at the top it maybe time to find a new opportunity.
- You are disengaged: Both your work and your managers are uninspiring. You feel like you show up to work but you are just present. It maybe time to start in a new direction with a new job.
- You are constantly complaining: Complaining is normal. Except if you are constantly breathing negativity in and outside of the workplace. Find out the source of your complaints. Can you fix these issues? If not, then it may stem into a larger issue. Move on to a more positive environment.
- You see the writing on the wall: Your company loses a major client. You see a lot of your colleagues are getting laid off. It may just be a matter a time before it’s you. Secure yourself and your future before they get to you.
- There is no work life balance: There should always be a balance between work and your personal life. Some overtime is required and acceptable. If you are constantly working late and bringing your work home, and you are unhappy doing so, you may want to consider moving on.
If you agree with three or more of these points then it may be time for you to move on. Get a jump start on your job search and find a new opportunity by the beginning of next year!
