7 non-obvious signs that say that you need to change jobs

1. You're too slow blink at your desk

And also drink 3-4 cups of coffee, which is somehow "not valid." In fact, bad coffee, seasonal vitamin deficiencies or uncomfortable pillows here at anything - you just get bored at work. And in order to "cheer up", you may want to just move on to something else.

Try to understand how your work routine: Are you doing the same thing, or perform various tasks in the workplace? Ask yourself this morning, is there in the list of tasks for today at least a few of these that you please, and to which you want to spend energy. If not - make your conclusions. A plus freelancing in this regard is clear: different clients and different tasks allow revive routine processes and add creativity to your work.

And with everyone. You do not get feedback when it really waiting for. You embarrassed to ask for help, because once already realized that nothing good comes out of it. You, after all, just not interesting to the people who work there. And after work you go to practice yoga, and they - in the brasserie. Or vice versa. In general, you understand.

Perhaps the problem is the absence of a culture of communication in the team, but most likely, you are just not in place.

Find yourself a professional space in which you will be comfortable. Of course, your Colleagues you do not have to become good friends, but the "average temperature" in a team you must hold.

Who says that nine in the morning until six in the evening on weekdays you will certainly need to be happy? Maybe work has become routine, or you do not see at this point any prospects. Or maybe introduce a new management at odds with yours - do not worry, "it's just a job."

You say so and, in fact, cross out the life of 40 hours a week, during which convince yourself that everything is in order.

To understand what 40 hours - it's In fact many, Write down on paper things that you do with a true pleasure, and count how many times a week do you spend on them. Most likely, you will be surprised at the figure, and understand that it takes "just a job" that you no joy, about 10 times more than what you like. That is, live for yourself only by 10%. Somehow sad sounds, is not it?

4. You put too much effort

And yet you know more often: to work hard for you. It seems you are not engaged in physical labor, and the feeling after the working day is like a day unloaded sacks of potatoes.

You explain to myself that intellectual work requires more energy than any other, and that now your project in the most active phase.

Let's face it: you get tired simply because they do not pull, or on your shoulders all the problems of the company, or you are burned out. Or - more likely - for you specifically, this work is very stressful.

We do not say that is not normal to get tired in the principle that we are all humans and we have the right from time to time to feel devastated. But if for a long period everything that you can, after the working day - is falling on the couch - I think it's time to think about it. Or at least take holiday.

5. You will increasingly ask themselves: "Is that all?"

That's all for what you have spent five years at the University, he defended his doctoral thesis, have passed training courses, attended workshops and conferences? You do not feel that many of your knowledge and skills in any way realized, or you feel the ceiling, which rested against the top of your head?

A person who develops, there is always a risk to underestimate themselves and settle for less.

Scroll mentally all your professional experience - or just open summary (Which, we hope, is made correctly) - and remind yourself that you cool specialist. List everything that you know, and then, perhaps, it becomes clear that what you are doing in the office - far "not everything."

In this case, would be to cease to hesitate and talk to your guidance on professional ambitions.

6. You constantly make mistakes

And, seemingly, nothing serious: a small typo in the contract, typed the address incorrectly EmailCasually write down a phone number on a piece of paper - whether there quartet, or Seven - then will understand. Yesterday like to remember that the meeting is scheduled for noon, and today informed the customer that an hour later. All, of course, will wait, but ...

Here only it is not a bug, but a lack of concentration.

When you understand the importance of having something to work, you focus automatically. And if you do not, chances are your brain simply removed from all that is happening.

Therefore, in your best interest to switch to such tasks that will hold your attention and you You want to do well. Then the phone number is written clearly, and the contract will be cross-checked once more.

7. You just happy with everything

We know you are all really good: you're on this site have 5-7 years experience goes, good insurance, promotions, bonuses for the year. You respect the staff, you share the views of the company.

That's only a small nuance: in the last couple of years, you're a bit like Eeyore, who seemed to live without problems, but always sad. You catch?

Do not you feel that your work has long become a proverbial comfort zone, which scared off, and remain in it is stuck? Whether your activity brings the drive, which has been before, or you "just happy with everything?"

Remember that in order to grow, from time to time need to feel uncomfortable. The positive discomfort that forces to try something new, to improve the old and stepping it up a notch, even if it seems that there's nowhere. Steve Jobs once fired from the company he had created - and we know what the result was.
