\"Ready<\/a><\/p>\n

Now and then we all have days where we don\u2019t like our jobs but there\u2019s a big difference between feeling a bit blue on a Monday morning and actively hating your job. The former will most likely disappear over the course of the day, whereas the latter can be all-consuming. Are you ready to move jobs?<\/p>\n

Do you dread getting up for work in the morning? Are you constantly feeling run down? Is stress from work impacting your personal life? These are all signs you\u2019re ready to move on from your job. If you relate to one or more of these signs, then it\u2019s likely time that you consider moving on.<\/p>\n

#1 You\u2019re always getting ill<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Poor mental health and stress can have a big impact on your physical health. Common physical manifestations of stress can include insomnia or broken sleep, acne or other skin conditions, changes in weight and feelings of anxiety or panic.<\/p>\n

No job is worth making yourself sick. So if you think stress from your job is hurting your health, it might be time to consider moving on or even taking a career break to recharge.<\/p>\n

#2 You\u2019ve lost all motivation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do you find yourself zoning out at work or constantly checking the clock? Is your workload an uphill battle that you have no appetite for? Or perhaps you feel stuck in a rut and uninspired?<\/p>\n

If any of these sounds like you, it might be time to shake things up in a new role. Your job should be challenging but it should be rewarding too. Don\u2019t spend your life wishing away the hours, make a change instead.<\/p>\n

\"Stressed<\/a><\/p>\n

#3 You\u2019re working too much overtime<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Are you typically the first one in and the last one out the door? It\u2019s great to show commitment to your job but consistently working long hours is likely to leave you feeling burnt out.<\/p>\n

If you find yourself working overtime most nights or even clocking in on your days off instead of spending time with your loved ones, you should take a step back and evaluate if this is healthy.<\/p>\n

A good work-life balance is essential for us to feel physically and mentally well. Perhaps it\u2019s time you found a job that lets you work to live not live to work.<\/p>\n

#4 You\u2019re being underpaid<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you think you\u2019re being underpaid your first port of call should be to research the market rate for jobs similar to what you do. Most roles are advertised at a higher rate than you\u2019re earning, speak to your boss about getting a pay rise. If they refuse and it\u2019s clear they won\u2019t change their mind in the future, then it\u2019s time to cut your losses.<\/p>\n

#5 You\u2019ve been overlooked for promotion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your current job has stopped challenging you. This might be a sign that you\u2019re ready to take a step up in your career. If promotion opportunities have come around at your company but you\u2019ve been passed over or if there just isn\u2019t any way for you to move up the ladder, then you should consider looking elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\"Tired<\/a><\/p>\n

#6 It\u2019s a bad environment to work in<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do you enjoy the environment you work in? Poor communication, a lack of clear processes and a culture of blame can all lead to a hostile and toxic work environment.<\/p>\n

If you feel resentful towards your colleagues or are constantly on edge you\u2019ll be blamed for someone else’s failure. It\u2019s likely to leave you lacking in motivation and generally burnt out. Unfortunately, there\u2019s usually very little you can do personally that will change the work environment so it\u2019s probably best to head for the door.<\/p>\n

#7 You don\u2019t feel valued<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can\u2019t expect a constant stream of praise from your boss but it\u2019s not unreasonable to want to be thanked for a job well done.<\/p>\n

Employers that value their staff show this in more ways than just pay and bonuses. They invest in their skills and development and make sure that hard work is acknowledged. If you feel taken for granted, it might be time to take your hard work to somewhere that will appreciate it.<\/p>\n

\"Trying<\/a><\/p>\n

#8 Your responsibilities have changed for the worse<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s often the case that your duties and responsibilities can evolve the longer you are in a job. This can be a good thing as it might have allowed you to discover a hidden talent or an area of your sector you hadn\u2019t considered before.<\/p>\n

However, if you feel you\u2019ve been pushed into taking on things that make you miserable or are not what you want to be doing with your career then it\u2019s perfectly reasonable to want to move on to get back on track. Take some time to consider what kind of role you would really enjoy and then go after it.<\/p>\n

Think you\u2019re ready to move? Here\u2019s how to prepare.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you decide you\u2019re ready to move, it\u2019s important to take time to think about what would make you happy. Are the things that are making you unhappy just down to the company you work for, or do you feel you no longer want to work in that industry?<\/p>\n

If you feel your woes are rooted in the company. Then it\u2019s time to dust off your CV and start applying for new jobs. If you need some help with building a new CV, you can use the Career Profile section of your s1jobs account to help you out. You can also take the hassle out of searching for a new job by signing up for our email job alerts.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve lost the love for the industry you work in. You may want to think about transitioning into another area. Changing careers can seem like a daunting prospect, and it is a big step to take, but it can be very rewarding in the long run.<\/p>\n

The thing to remember is not to let fear hold you back from leaving your job. There is a job out there that will make you happy, you just need to be brave enough to go for it. Life is too short to stay somewhere that is making you miserable.<\/p>\n
