Many people stay in a job even when they are no longer happy in their position. They do a good job, they’re very well known, and they’re respected, yet when asked how they feel about their job they seem unhappy in their position. The fear of being without a job can make a person feel very insecure about getting by in life or making a change in their life. But how do you know when it’s the right time to change jobs?

There are a few signs to help you determine if it may be time to consider a change in careers or a new position with your company:

• When the job you are doing is no longer satisfying you personally

• When the work is not a challenge any more

• When going to work becomes depressing

If you are experiencing these things, then it may be time to consider working with a career change management professional.
