\n\t\u201cChoose a job you love and you\u2019ll never have to work a day in your life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \n\tBut what happens when you stop loving that job?<\/p>\n \n\tMaybe you\u2019ve outgrown it – you\u2019ve learned all there is to know and now it feels stale and repetitive. Maybe you\u2019ve lost interest in the field and you\u2019re looking to take on something exciting and new. Or maybe the career Gods just woke up one day and decided it was no longer the right role for you.<\/p>\n \n\t\t“Chances are, it\u2019s happening to you right now.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \n\tWhatever the reason, it happens more often than you might think. And chances are, it\u2019s happening to you right now (after all, why else would you be reading this article?)<\/p>\n \n\tHere are four signs it\u2019s time to quit your job and move on to the next opportunity.<\/p>\n \n\tCan you remember the last time you truly felt <\/span>challenged<\/em>? That you pushed yourself to work better and harder?<\/p>\n \n\tNo? That\u2019s the first sign you\u2019re in a rut. <\/p>\n \n\tYou might\u2019ve already taken advantage of all the upskilling and training opportunities that your current employer offers – but that feels like a lifetime ago now. You might\u2019ve had long conversations with your boss about your progression – but nothing came of it. So you went back to your day-to-day job and got on with it. <\/p>\n \n\tBut is that really fulfilling you? Or is it just the easy thing to do? <\/p>\n \n\tIf you\u2019ve exhausted all the available opportunities that your current employer offers and you <\/span>just aren\u2019t getting anywhere<\/em>, then that\u2019s probably a sign that you need to move on. <\/p>\n \n\tStart to break out of your rut by learning a new skill. These days, there are online tutorials and webinars available for just about anything you want to learn how to do – and for <\/span>free<\/em>. This could give you the confidence boost you need to start your job search. <\/p>\n \n\tDo you find yourself zoning out during meetings and not even feeling the need to pretend you were listening? Do you turn up late for work, take fake sick days, and visibly slack off at your desk without a second thought about who notices? <\/span><\/p>\n \n\tThese behaviours are surefire signs that you\u2019ve mentally checked out from your role and are stuck in a career rut. And it isn\u2019t going to get any better until you get out of it. <\/p>\n \n\t \n\tIn fact, the longer you stay in this particular rut, the more you risk damaging your professional reputation and stunting your opportunities for progression.<\/p>\n \n\tSo, it\u2019s time to hunt for some jobs that actually <\/span>excite <\/em>you, that make you want to turn up to work in the morning and work hard at.<\/p>\n \n\tDoes it feel like every time you go on LinkedIn, you\u2019re met with people getting promoted for jobs you should be getting and smiling faces holding awards you should be winning? Do all your peers seem to be successful and happy and you just can\u2019t figure out why you just \u2026 <\/span>aren\u2019t<\/em>? <\/p>\n \n\tWe all feel jealousy from time to time. It\u2019s human nature to feel that green-eyed monster on our shoulders when we see someone get what we want. <\/p>\n \n\t\t“What does <\/span>your version of success look like – and how can you achieve it?”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \n\tBut if you\u2019re physically incapable of feeling happy for a peer who just got promoted or won an award, this is where your problem lies. <\/p>\n \n\tIf you really felt like you were exactly where you were supposed to be, you wouldn\u2019t feel bitter when someone else landed the job of their dreams. <\/p>\n \n\tSo, instead, work on turning that envy into curiosity. <\/p>\n \n\tAsk yourself: What are these people doing differently to achieve these levels of success? What does <\/span>your version of success look like – and how can you achieve it? And where do you start? <\/p>\n \n\tGet out of that envy rut. Step one might just be quitting the job you\u2019re in. <\/p>\n \n\tWe all need a sense of purpose – a \u201cwhy.\u201d Something that lights a fire inside us, motivates us, and drives us forward to reach success.<\/span><\/p>\n \n\tWhat\u2019s yours? <\/p>\n \n\tIf you can\u2019t answer that, this is your final sign that it\u2019s time to move on. <\/p>\n \n\tLosing that passion that you had for the success of your team and company is only going to negatively impact your sense of job satisfaction and purpose. <\/p>\n \n\tSo, how can you find a role that you <\/span>are <\/em>passionate about?<\/p>\n \n\tStart by cross-referencing the parts of your job that you <\/span>do enjoy, plus your hobbies and interests outside of work, technical expertise, and soft skills. Throw these all together into a mind map and see what you come out with.<\/p>\n \n\tYou might get some interesting results that you\u2019d never previously considered.<\/p>\n \n\tFinding your next job doesn\u2019t have to be difficult. <\/span><\/p>\n \n\tAt Identifi Global, we\u2019re specialists in helping match candidates to their perfect roles. We use psychometric testing to help you gain a deep understanding of your interests, your ideal work environments, and your working styles. <\/p>\n \n\tLet us help you out of that rut.<\/p>\n \n\tUpload your CV to get started.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n \n\tImages via Pixabay<\/a> and Unsplash<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cChoose a job you love and you\u2019ll never have to work a day in your life.\u201d But what happens when you stop loving that job?
