This is especially true if you are looking for a new position within the same industry because you have upgraded your qualifications. There are opportunities for training in most industries so whether you have done advanced customer service training, yellow card training, or even advanced your research skills you need to use your newfound qualifications.
If you have enhanced your skills and there is no room for promotion it’s time to start hunting around for other opportunities with companies that can help you meet your career goals.
You Don’t Feel Challenged
If you are not being challenged in your job, and feel as though you are wasting time every day. You may find yourself suffering from constant boredom. If this sounds like something that is happening to you, it could be a sign that it’s time for a career change.
It is not good for your mental health to be in a situation where you feel drained and bored every day. If you are not careful your lethargy and dissatisfaction can spill over into other areas of your life. You may find that your friendships and even your family life begin to suffer because you are miserable.
Your Boss Is Incompetent or Tyrannical
Your boss may be incompetent and this can make the work environment intolerable. Spending your day having to follow senseless orders that are not going to make the company progress can be depressing, to say the least.
If your boss is tyrannical and you find yourself constantly living in fear you may want to consider a change. This type of environment is likely to make it difficult for motivation, commitment, and loyalty with your company.
There Is No Work-Life Balance
Work-life balance is extremely important for your mental health and if you find yourself having very little because of your current working conditions then it is time to make a change.
Striking a balance can make a lot of difference in your overall satisfaction with your life, so consider making a change.
Make a Change
Now you know the signs that it’s time for you to switch your career. Making the change can be very scary at first. However, it is also scary when you are in a situation where you are constantly feeling as if you are being drained of your energy and you are no longer motivated.
Start looking around for another job or get additional training so that you can get a promotion for a job somewhere else.
