It’s Time to Stop Dealing With Your Job and Find Your Next Opportunity!

Posted

More than just a means to pay your bills, your job is a significant part of your daily life and a portion of your career. Simply going through the motions is no way to grow as a professional. In fact, it’s likely that without a change, you will begin to feel unfulfilled.

You should be engaged at work and leave at the end of the day with a sense of accomplishment. After all, you are a talented professional with a lot to offer any organization. If any of the sentiments below sound familiar, take this as your cue to start looking for a more rewarding opportunity.

5 Signs You Need a New Job

1. You Feel Bored Frequently

Even the best jobs have dull moments, but if you find yourself uninterested in the work more often than not, a change is in order. To reach your potential, you need to be challenged, engaged and inspired. This will not happen if you are bored by the responsibilities in front of you.

2. The Job Does Not Evolve

The business world changes at a rapid pace, so forward-thinking companies are constantly adjusting their strategies to keep up. If you have held the same position for at least a few years and nothing has changed, the job is stunting your growth. Find a new opportunity now, before your skills become obsolete.

3. Your Stress Levels Are Always High

Everyone has a rough day at work every now and then, but if you are constantly weighed down by work issues, it will eventually have a negative impact on your health. Beyond making you feel constantly anxious, stress can disrupt your sleeping patterns, cause you to withdraw from social situations and lead to unhealthy choices.

4. The Culture Feels Wrong

If your values and beliefs do not align with those of the company you work for, you likely have trouble fitting in with the team. Becoming energized about the work in front of you is challenging when you are unable to fully immerse yourself into the organization. This is a clash that is unlikely to get better with time, so do yourself a favor and find a job at a company you can get behind.

5. You Think About Quitting Constantly

Every once in a while, people have days when they want to quit their jobs. If that feeling is there more often than not, this should be telling. Stop ignoring your subconscious, it gives your true feelings away. You owe it you yourself to do work that brings you satisfaction.

It was my distinct pleasure working for RealStreet, aka KJMK, on separate FEMA disaster recovery assignments and long-term recovery planning assignments between October 2004 and May 2006 in the aftermath of Hurricanes Ivan, Katrina, Francis and Wilma. I found working with these professionals enjoyable as well as self-fulfilling and rewarding. After a 9-year stint as Read More…
