Ready for a Career Change? 5 Tips to help you in your job search

Many of the clients I have seen lately have noticed that their careers are not giving them the satisfaction they once did. They make good money, have a prestigious role, and do well at their job but don’t look forward to going to work, especially on Sunday nights.  Have you heard of the golden handcuffs? It is where you stay at a job because it pays well but may not make you happy. When you stay simply for money it is usually not good for you nor the employer. I recall hearing a friend tell me about his roommate who had received a new job offer. His current employer offered him 10K more to stay and not take the new job. I asked, “Is he leaving because of the money?” He said no. I followed up by asking if, 10K would solve the problems of why he is leaving, and he said no. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t love an extra 10k, but is your continued unhappiness worth it?
