by | Nov 21, 2022 | Change of career, Coaching Blog

Many people feel unfulfilled by their careers. In fact, a recent study found that 33% of people are considering changing jobs in the next 3-6 months. If you’re one of those who are dissatisfied with their current career, you may be thinking about making a change. But how do you know if you’re really ready for a career change? Here are three signs that it might be time to pursue a new career:

You’re Unhappy with Your Current Situation

If you find yourself dreading going to work every day, it’s probably time for a change. A career should make you feel energised and motivated, not stressed and exhausted. If your current role is causing you more anxiety than joy, it’s time to start exploring other options.

You Feel Stuck in a Rut

Another sign that it might be time for a change is if you feel like you’re stuck in a rut. If you’re no longer learning and growing in your current role, it’s time to consider other options. A career should challenge and inspire you. If yours isn’t doing either of those things, it might be time for something new.

You’re Not Using Your Skills and Talents

Lastly, if you feel like your skills and talents are being wasted in your current role, it’s time to make a change. You should feel like you’re using your strengths every day at work. If you’re not, you’ll likely become bored and frustrated with your career.

Making a career change can be scary, but it can also be one of the most rewarding things you’ll ever do. If you’re unhappy with your current situation, feel like you’re stuck in a rut, or feel like your skills and talents are being wasted, it might be time to pursue a new career. The best way to know for sure is to begin to explore your options and see what feels right for you.
