Thousands of people, just like you, are considering leaving their boring jobs to make a career change and feel more fulfilled every day.
Many of them will have been trying for years to find satisfying work, they will have moved from job to job, never really being content in any of these jobs. Is this you? Are you constantly changing jobs without understanding why you are so discontent?
As a qualified career coach, I've seen many clients over the years who came to me thinking I had a magic wand to sort out their problem of being 'stuck in a rut' in their jobs or careers. But, I always told them that 'the answer lies within'. Yes, the answer to you finding job satisfaction lies within you as an individual. Believe it or not, you have the key to unlock that information. Certainly, a career coach can help draw it out of you, but only you know what makes you tick and what will make you happy in a job.
Before you jump into another career change ask yourself these questions:
1. Do you prefer to work on your own or as part of a team?
2. Are you sociable and outgoing, or more reserved and reflective?
3. Do you enjoy being busy with lots of new projects, or do you like working methodically on one project at a time?
4. Do you prefer to come up with ideas, or are you happy working with figures and facts?
5. If asked to make a decision are you logical or more compassionate?
6. Are you able to 'go with the flow' at work, or do you need to be organized well ahead of time?
7. Can you get along with most people or are you constantly complaining about others' behavior?
Looking deeper at your own behavior can be the key to finding satisfaction when considering a career change.
