5 signs that it’s time to find a new job

Making the decision to move on from your current employer is a big one, and you hopefully won’t have to do it many times in your life and so making sure the timing is right is mega important.

Making the decision to move on from your current employer is a big one, and you hopefully won’t have to do it many times in your life and so making sure the timing is right is mega important.

If you’re starting to feel any of these things, then we reckon it’s worth a good think about whether you’re ready to see what’s out there:

1 – Monday mornings fill you with dread

I don’t think that anyone can claim they love Mondays, but there’s a difference between wasting half of your Sunday dreading the next day, considering a ‘sickie’ and praying for that all-important lottery win to get you out of having to work in your current job.

2 – You’re not reaching your potential and there’s no way you can progress

Maybe you’ve been doing the job for a while, and can do it with your eyes closed but there’s no one enhancing your skill-set and developing you. Do you really have to wait for someone to leave or worse to progress?

3 – You’re never told ‘thanks’

For some a pat on the back for a job well done means more than whatever money is thrown at you. Praise is often overlooked and the benefits of an employer that does praise increases staff motivation and retention so why isn’t it done more often? By the way, you’re great ?

4 – You feel like a number

Has the thought crossed your mind that ‘I could be anyone doing this job’, ‘If I left tomorrow I’m not even sure they would notice and they’d just replace me anyway’? If you’re not made to feel valued at work then you won’t be performing at your best which is no good for anyone. A great employer would make you feel valued and included in the journey.

5 – Your boss isn’t the right one for you

Ouch! This is a tricky one, but you just know when you know and often this just can’t be fixed. It’s an idea to have a conversation and address the issues you’re having but if it’s deep rooted and ultimately who you both are then perhaps it’s just a mis-match.

It may be that having read this, you now know why you feel like you do and you’re note alone. Working with a personal recruiter can help understand your motivations to leave and provide invaluable market insight and advice to help you make that all important next step.
