Do I recognise the time for change?

What are we reading this week?

How do we know when it is time to change jobs? What are the indicators and what do they tell us? We found the following short piece interesting. It details five signs that show us when it might be time to move on.

This is an article taken from the Walters People website, a professional staffing specialist.

What are we watching this week?

At I Am Here, we thought the following talk by writer and career change strategist, Scott Dinsmore, a good watch. Sometimes, we can feel that we are getting it wrong in the jobs we take on. We found his suggestion valuable: to go on a journey of self-exploration and self-discovery before determining what is the right job for us.

He shares his own story and tells us how he left a job that made him unhappy. He details how he spent the following number of years looking for the type of work that would have meaning and purpose for him, which ultimately delivered happiness.

What are we quoting this week?

A career change can be frightening, even when we know it is the right time. However, knowing what to do, and actually doing it, are two very different things. At I Am Here, we thought the following quote by French author, André Gidé, summarised accurately the process of change.

“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” – André Gidé
