How do you know that you have a career crisis
Work And Study / / December 25, 2019
If the thought of the work begins to twitch an eye, at the office while stretches endlessly, and in the evenings strength enough only for series - it is likely that you caught a career crisis. It is treated? Yes. How to diagnose it until things got really bad, and what to do next? Who will tell.
1. Imagine that you have in the account of $ 10 million
Specify all your basic "Wishlist" - that you are with them you do? If among them a desire to develop your business, invest in it, and if you work for someone else, stay on their work or continue to do the same, but, for example, to open a business, or go to the unplanned vacation - no career crisis, You have not. If you just scream "I want to do nothing", there is a crisis.
2. Take a vacation
The best way to distinguish the accumulated fatigue from the crisis - to take a vacation. At least a week. Alone or with people who do not want to hear about your work.
Turn off the phone, do not open e-mail, do not go into Instagram colleagues.
If there is no money for a lot of traveling, you can go to the country, to friends, to her grandmother in the village, the main thing - to disconnect from their normal rhythm, be a vegetable and enjoy it. formula good
recreation - turn off your brain from the routine: try every day to do something new, to the days they were alike.A week later, rested brain itself will tell you what you need. If the thought of working longer causes disgust and even boss you're a little bored, so it was just fatigue. If the memory of the work is still sick - it's time to act.
3. Make for yourself "career map"
List all of your key skills, consider public more areas they can come in handy. If your knowledge of Klingon or love for the Chinese tea not useful before, this does not mean that they are useless.
Write down on a piece of paper all the professions that intersect with your skills, and consider in any of these areas would you like to move.
4. Use the "three stripes"
A great way to start moving towards your dream job (for example, to the position of Marketing Director of the Russian division of Google).
Divide a sheet of paper into three strips. In the first write down all your skills: essential, substantial and additional (here goes the knowledge of a second language, for example). In the second column - in the same order skills that are needed for the job of your dreams. To know them, you have to look separately at least 10 people who worked on this position in Google or other companies in the same industry. The third column compares the first two, and write out what you must soon learn. Do not forget to add a third column section on the future - to make the skills that should be possessed Director Google's marketing after 3, 5 or 10 years, depending on when you plan to get to this positions.
If carefully done everything according to this plan, you will come to the company a few years later perfectly prepared. Or on the road you will realize that you want different, consciously choose a new career and will live with her happily ever after.
