Five sure-fire signs that you need a new job

At the end of the day, we’d all love to be in a job that we genuinely enjoy doing – and one that pays handsomely, of course.

However, that can’t always be the case. And let’s face it, not everybody can fulfill their ambition by attaining a dream job. There are, nevertheless, times when you simply have to say “enough is enough” when it comes to your own job satisfaction. If certain occurrences continue to drive you to the point of insanity then it’s usually a good sign that you should be looking for a new job.

Just in case you could do with a little extra help, here are five sure-fire signs that you’re in the wrong job – and that it’s a high-time you started looking for a new one.

1) You hate it

Perhaps the most obvious and straight-forward observation to make about the state of your career is simple – if you don’t like it then it’s probably not for you. Sure, you may see work as simply a way to pay the bills, but if you feel that the industry you’re involved in just isn’t your thing then it may be more trouble than it’s worth.

2) You’re not getting paid enough

You may thoroughly enjoy your job, it could be the best thing that’s ever happened to you and you may never want to leave when the working day concludes – but if you’re not getting paid enough then there’s always room to question your position. Everybody has their value and if you’re not receiving yours then be sure to have a quiet word with your employers about your level of remuneration.

3) Your co-workers annoy you

Your surrounding work environment is absolutely critical to the success of your job. So, if you work alongside colleagues who consistently irritate you then there’s a good chance that you’re not particularly keen on your current position – purely because you can’t stand the company that around you. Equally, co-workers who demonstrate a lack of ability – or are just merely incompetent – to perform their jobs adequately are also likely to unnerve you.

4) You find the work too easy

Does your job motivate you? Does it invigorate you? Or is your role too basic and below the capacity at which you believe you are capable? Sometimes you may have to bind your time in a position before moving up upon the ladder to assume more responsibility – but if you feel under-utilized after a substantial amount of time in your current position then you may need to consider your options. After all, you want to fulfill your potential, right?

5) You don’t know what you’re doing

Conversely, if you have no inclination about the work that you ought to be performing – and if sufficient training isn’t provided – then how are you meant to become competent and content with your job? And, if you can’t perform to a satisfactory standard, are you really likely to enjoy your job? Probably not.

    I was with an employer in my last job who was dishonest with customeers. After awhile, and some other things going wrong, I finally decided to leave. Had to start at the bottom of the totem pole at a different company, but it was worth it.
