Changing
Careers....your options
It is projected that on average we will change professions at
least three times in our working lives. Perhaps work is no longer
enjoyable or a challenge, you are working long hours for little
recognition or you just can't face another of your office's terrible
Christmas parties. Whatever the reason, leaving your job is a
serious upheaval and can be a turning point in your career.
Time
for a change
Most people change jobs to get more money, or to move a step up
the promotional ladder; other reasons include increased convenience,
satisfaction, challenge, and personal development.
Like
the birds that fly south in winter, and that dog in 'The Littlest
Hobo', sometimes you just know that it is time to move on.
It
is not a decision to be made lightly, think it through, why exactly
do you want to change jobs? If your current job offers you security
and a reasonable wage, is it worth risking that? Compile a list
of areas where your current job is lacking, perhaps you can speak
to your employers and some of them can be addressed, if not you
have the basis of criteria for a new job.
