The follow up questions we need to ask…

People often ask the same questions when they're feeling frustrated, disappointed, or just not satisfied with their current jobs: “Is it time to leave?” or “What do I really want?”. The thing is, it's worth taking a closer look at what's really bothering you. Sometimes, the real issue isn't what it appears to be at first, and making a hasty job change without a plan can end up causing more problems down the road!

Ask yourself the follow up questions and see what emerges.

Why Am I Unhappy in My Current Job?

What specific aspects of my job are causing dissatisfaction?

Is it the work itself, the organisational culture, my colleagues, or something else?

Is It Time to Leave My Current Job?

Am I just experiencing a temporary rough patch, or is this a long-term issue?

Have I tried to address my concerns with my boss or HR?

What Are My Career Goals?

What are my long-term career aspirations, and does my current job align with them?

Do I need to reassess my career goals and make changes accordingly?

What Other Career Options Are Available to Me?

What industries or roles interest me as potential alternatives?

Have I researched other job opportunities that might be a better fit?
