Conquering Limiting Beliefs: It's Not The Right Time
If you're considering a career change, there's a good chance you've hesitated about whether or not it's the "right" time to act. But if you're even thinking about entering the job market, chances are good that your current position isn't a good fit for you.
Signs It's Time for a Change
You're feeling uninspired or unmotivated by your current job.
You dread going to work in the morning.
You've flipped or browsed through job openings recently (even if you were "just looking").
Your current job doesn't align with your long-term career goals.
If any of these points apply to you, it's probably time to start thinking about a change, whether or not you think it's "time" and whether or not you believe you're "ready." Here's why.
THE TIMING WILL NEVER BE PERFECT
There will always be some reason to stay where you are. You might feel compelled to stay for just a little longer out of obligation, or because you're afraid of failing at a new opportunity, but these anxieties don't go away on their own. If you keep waiting for the timing to be just right, you'll never move on.
YOU ARE READY
Going hand-in-hand with the wrong timing belief is the idea that you aren't ready to make a change. Maybe you feel too inexperienced to make a move, or you're worried you haven't exhausted the opportunities where you are. But the fact is, people who are fulfilled in their work lives don't constantly fantasize about career changes. If you have lingering doubts about your career, you owe it to yourself to explore other opportunities.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO JUMP IN ALL AT ONCE
Exploring your opportunities isn't going to get you fired, but it will get you the peace of mind that you're actively working to improve your life. Searching on the side will help you understand what's out there and work up the courage to go further with your job search.
At HireVibe, we believe that you should feel inspired every time you go to work.
