Signs It’s Time To Change Your Job

There will always be times when we think “is this the right job/company for me?” Edge Careers has taken a look at a few signs that the time may of come to change your job.

You’re bored all the time

Although boredom is a very standard feeling, prolonged feelings of boredom while at work can be a warning sign that you are not doing being pushed hard enough or don’t have enough to do in your role.

If you’re spending most of your workday on the internet shopping or playing games, or if you’re checking the time frequently at work, those are key indicators.

Your skills aren’t being utilised

We all know that sometimes you have to take whatever you can get, stick it out for a while and, hopefully, prove to your boss that you’re capable of managing more responsibilities.

But if you’ve been doing this awhile, and you’re still stuck in a position that doesn’t allow you to utilize your skills, then it’s time to start considering changing your job.

You’re not growing

It is easy to stay in a job that you can do your everyday tasks without challenge, but by staying in this position you are not developing/growing your skills and thus your career prospects will be shrinking.

If you have asked for a change in your company to challenge and develop your skills more, but nothing has happened, it may be time to consider a new job.

You can’t picture yourself at your company in a year

When you think of the year ahead, are you still with your current company? Or do you picture yourself elsewhere? If your answer is the latter then you are not committed to your company and it is time for you to move on.

You dread Mondays

We all get the Monday blues, but for most of us it is not that we dread the thought of going into work, it’s just that we can’t have a lie in.

If the thought of going to work is what is causing your dread of Mondays, it may be that you don’t actually enjoy what you are currently doing and is a sign that you need to find yourself a job/company that will end the dreaded Monday feeling.

You just know

When it comes to knowing that things aren’t right, your gut is the best way of knowing. You know the saying “listen to your gut”.

If you’ve been actively job searching, talking about quitting and you feel it’s the right thing to do, it may be time to listen and change your job.

Why Meeting With Candidates Is Important

At Edge Careers we understand the importance in meeting with every candidate during the recruitment process, we believe it to be beneficial to all of our consultants for many reasons.

Firstly, because meeting a candidate means a consultant is able to make a more personal connection, enabling them to build trust and understand a person’s wants and needs, also validating the candidates interest in looking for a new role as they have taken time out of their busy schedule to meet with you.

A further benefit of meeting a candidate is that it makes it easier to ascertain where their strengths, and weaknesses, lie. Allowing you to build a profile on a candidate, which can then be submitted to a client putting yourself in a stronger position, as it is easier to explain why a candidate can fit into an organisation and a role when you have met them and understand what they can bring to the table, and, how they can do so.

Finally, meeting a candidate allows recruitment consultants to view an important quality, time keeping. If a candidate cannot arrive on time to meet with you, will they arrive on time to meet a client? Whilst scheduling meetings with candidates can be time consuming, they help recruiters to understand which candidates possess better interview skills and other qualities, which cannot be learned from a CV.
