For some of us it is very cut and dried, that we need to leave our current position. But, at other times it is akin to ending a marriage. We go through periods of anger and blame combined with acceptance and stubbornness. It is a blessing to find yourself in a place where you relish going to work each day. When you job is just the end to a means, it is time to revisit and evaluate your dreams from childhood and early adulthood.

A few telltale signs that you may want to investigate a postilion change.

• You find your self more often feeling contempt for either you company, management or your co-workers.
• You dread everyday and have difficulty motivating your self for the tasks that need to be done, let alone initiating new ones.
• You spend more time trashing your company or polices with others then talking about projects in the works or your own personal achievements.
• You no longer feel challenged or fulfilled.
• You feel under utilized or not valued by your current management or company.

These are just a few feelings or experiences you may be having. A few suggestions for change are;

• If you have a confident relationship with your superiors, share you need for the change and desire to learn or advance. Many companies will work with a valued employee by either transferring to a new department or position.
• A lot of large corporations, universities and business management organizations offer career management series. They generally are free and can often spark possibilities of change within your self.
• Give yourself time. The longer you have been "married" to a company the more painful the breakup.
• Network with friends and family, they may know of a possibility you do not see.
• Take a class, read a book, volunteer or go to a seminar. This will help you step out of your current career thinking and will give you the space to consider other options. It will also assist with expanding your potential network.
