Is This The Time To Change Job?

Why do you want to change job? There are a lot of reasons why someone has the desire to look for a new job. It is not rare that the desire is based on the emotional reason that one of our colleagues got a new job. We always think they are lucky and we are not lucky enough to get a better job.

Nevertheless, the most important real objective of our decision to switch job is to get a better life that we dream of. Not few people leave their high figure income job, only to do a profession that they dream of since young.

As written below are some conditions whereby if you think that you are in one or more of the following conditions, you may want to consider to switch job.

1. You do not click with your boss or vice versa, or you have a conflict with boss, colleagues, sub-ordinate, sub-contractor, customer and you can not solve it.

2. You plan to run your own business, but you are worried to do the first step.
* The longer you are in your current job, the bigger will be your worry to take the first step for your business.

3. You feel stressed due to your job: headache, lack of sleep, worry, digestion problem, pressurized. You even load all the stress from work to the family.
* By rights, working is part of your life to increase your welfare. However, if your job is to widen your gap to reach that, why don't you consider to get a better life, free of pressure and suffering?

4. You are burdened by your work, project, and stress that can make you become unreasonable.
* If you want to do something that you like and you still consider it as part of your life, but your work occupies most of your time, then perhaps this is the time for you to look for another job that can give you self-fulfilment and actualization.

5. You are not happy with your work. Even, with a number of vacations, it cannot give you happiness.
* You will work well and give a positive result if you like your job. Perhaps we cannot always get our dream job, but at least we should be able to enjoy our current job.

6. You do not get a promotion that you should get. On the other hand, other people got it.
* Do not work in revengeful and disappointed state of mind. Keep it away and accept the fact. However, if you cannot accept it, do not be narrow-minded. Outside there, there are a lot of opportunities that really belong to you.

7. You are trapped in office politics. On the other hand, the top management does not have integrity.
* Do not be naive in facing office politics. It always happens everywhere. If you cannot stand on it, do not sacrifice your integrity. There are still a lot of companies that appreciate one's integrity.

8. You are in a working enviroment that is messy, cruel, crude, prison-like, and not appreciating worker's integrity.
* Don't we want a working environment that is nice, full of respect, valueing professionalism? If you cannot survive in a harsh situation (well business is harsh), then look for a job that suits your character.

9. You feel that your efforts is not appreciated.
* The basic need of everyone is to get appreciation. To many people, appreciation is respect. If the respect is not appreciated, how can you do something well and get a better working life?

10. You think that this is the time to move on, but do not know where to start or dare not to start.
* If you think that this is the time to switch job for whatever reason, actually your fear is the biggest obstacle that you have to tackle.

If the above situations look familiar, perhaps this is the time to mend your career and life. There are a lot of reasons to do a positive change. Observe again your whole career life sincerely. Consider it as part of life that you dream of. If you think that you need to
make some changes in your job, talk to someone that you can trust. Work out some considerations and strategy to do it and do a proper planning. Wish you the best for your future endeavour.
