Periodically, it happens that we are overwhelmed by the desire to change jobs. And how to do it right, we do not know. No, the technical side of the problem does not raise questions - apply for dismissal and start looking for a new job. But is it worth changing jobs, a big question. Can the reasons for the search be new and not worthy of attention?
How to decide to change jobs?
There are cases when we doubt whether it is worth changing jobs, like everything is not so bad - the salary is not delayed, the collective is not bad, and from the house not far away. And at the same time, there are reasons to change jobs, but how important are they? To answer this question, you can go in two ways: try to understand yourself or listen to the recommendations of psychologists. In the first case it is necessary to make a list of pros and cons of this workplace. If there are more advantages, it is worthwhile to stay - it is still unknown what will happen in the new place. But if it outweighs the number of cons, then it's time to look for a new position. This method did not help, and the question, whether it is necessary to change work, is still relevant? Then look at the reasons that are considered sufficient to find a new job for psychologists.
- Insufficient amount of wages - it is barely enough to hold out until the end of the month. At the same time, you do not have big requests and are not used to living "on a broad footing."
- For more than two years there have been no changes - neither in office, nor in duties, nor in wages. That is, the employer does not seek to motivate employees, does not value them.
- You do not see the prospects of your development professionally in this work.
- You sit on sick leave for more than a month in a year. And you are not there because of a child's illness, but because of your own ailment. There is a chance that this is a psychosomatic reaction of your body to doing unloved work.
- You do not like the work frankly, you are not keen on fulfilling your duties. And you would be happy to do something else if you were not afraid of failure.
- It's hard for you to name your achievements, you do not see the connection between your duties and the prosperity of the company. Yes, actually, you do not give a damn about the latter, if only the salary is not detained.
- You are only happy with your friendly team / free Internet / corporate holidays (underline), you see nothing good in your work.
- You have never received proposals from employment agencies, headhangers have not called, you do not feel you are a valuable employee.
How to change work?
If you decide that the change of work is necessary for you, here are some recommendations on how to do it better.
- Do not make a decision about leaving on emotions. After another reprimand of the authorities, you should not immediately put on the table a statement of resignation. Calm down and think about when to do it - you can have unused vacations, there was the last month of payment on the loan, etc.
- Try not to go into obscurity, look for a new job, go through interviews and then just leave.
- If you decide to change the professional field, then try yourself in the area where you feel the opportunity to realize yourself. And do not think that you need to start with higher education in a new specialty. It is better to try to get work experience, to pass an internship with a specialist in this field.
How often can I change jobs?
It is difficult to say how often it is necessary to change work, there is no precise time frame. Doing this is worth it, when you are disappointed in the previous place, you feel that there are no prospects for development. But beware of doing this too often - employers treat these "jumpers" very wary. Doubt is caused by employees who have worked for 1 year in the company and decided to change it. And people who have work experience for several months in different companies, do not really trust at all. Serious firms will be careful not to hire such an employee. Most often, recruiters are considered a normal term, through which a person decided to change jobs, 2 years or more.
