The decision to change jobs is not an easy one. Why would a person even consider leaving a job in this economy? I mean, a paycheck is a paycheck, right? Well, maybe the paycheck is not a suitable payoff and that certainly is extremely important. Anyway, maybe the paycheck is just too little.
Besides “insufficient funds” from an employer, a person may consider leaving because that jerky boss won’t stop being a jerk! It could be that the hours don’t work or the commute is too long. Or maybe said employee is simply not happy with the position; it’s too boring, it’s too hard, it’s just plain too. There are loads of reasons why a person decides to start a job search.
One of my favorite methods to decide whether or not to do something major is to use the ole Benjamin Franklin approach: An old fashion pros & cons list. I take a piece of paper and divide it into two columns, with the pros on one side and the cons on the other. The clear visual I get from looking at the list usually guides me to the right decision, the decision I want to move forward with full throttle. And on those rare occasions when it doesn’t work, it at least gives me the opportunity to consider all sides of the situation.
Look, everything starts with a decision. Just make sure you’re the one that decides what will be in your career, not the employer.
To your success,
