Six Signs You Need To Change Careers

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
― Confucius 

Are you one of those people who are struggling to finish the 9 to 5 shift every freaking day? Is satisfaction hard to come by when you’re working? Do you feel that you’re meant for something greater and grander? If your answer to these questions is a big YES then maybe it’s time for you to change careers!

Of course, a career movement is easier said than done. Thus, you need to be 100% sure that it truly is time to pack your things and find another way of living. Here are six signs you need to look out for once those employment doubts come by!

*Everything becomes a routine
Yes, knowing your way around your job is a good thing. But work becoming some sort of a routine for you is another issue. You need something to look forward to when you come to the office every day. Being caged in a fixed sequence of actions will turn you into a one trick pony employee.

You need a job that’s going to make you broaden your horizon. Shaking things up every now and then in order to break the monotony of your work is important for your morale.

*You come to work with less energy
Motivation is a big factor when you work. It determines how effective you are as an employee. Coming to work with less energy may be a sign that you’re not driven enough to do your duties wholeheartedly.

Your inner fire is what will keep you going as you work. It being extinguished will result to a less effective version of the working you.

*Career growth is stunted
The best jobs are the ones that offer avenues for growth. Write that resignation letter once you feel that you’re being under appreciated by the current administration. Being deprived of any kind of promotion despite your best efforts is simply unacceptable.

Just remember to take into consideration your tenure. A year without any sort of increase or title change is still okay. Anything beyond that is bad news for you.

*You became money-driven
Indeed, money is one of the reasons why you’re working. However, it becoming the center of your career life could mean that you’re losing a very important feeling of attachment to whatever it is you’re doing. Dig deep into your heart and ask yourself if you’re just staying for the money.

Always keep in mind that you can’t buy happiness. There are many ways to earn money in this world but very few could provide you with the feeling of satisfaction.

*Apathy kicks in
You are not a machine. You’re a breathing, thinking and most importantly, feeling human-being! Thus, apathy towards your job is a big reason for quitting. You need to love your work in order to survive the daily grind. Lack of emotions often results in haphazard performance in the work place.

*Your coworkers turned into your worst enemies
There’s a big difference between having a dispute with one or two of your officemates and actually having the whole team against you. Remember that a good work place is one that brims with harmony. You can’t act like a lone wolf and expect everything to turn out fine.

Don’t think that you can get away with the “professionalism act” every time you’re interacting with your coworkers. Your relationship towards one another can make or break the projects that you’re company is working on. Sometimes it’s better to leave and seek employment where it will be easier to jive with other people.

Success happens when you move out of your comfort zone. Changing careers might seem daunting at first but there will be times when you will have no other choice but to do it. Use the above mentioned tips when such moments arises and you will surely find it easier to leave and move on.
