Are you feeling a knot of anxiety in your stomach every time company news breaks? Are you worried about potential layoffs or restructuring? Job insecurity can be a real drag on your well-being and career growth. I understand your concerns. Here are some key signs to watch for that might indicate it's time to explore new opportunities:

Is your company experiencing constant downsizing, hiring freezes, or departmental mergers? These frequent changes can create a stressful atmosphere and signal potential instability.

Does your manager avoid discussing future goals or your role in the company's direction? A lack of transparency regarding career paths and long-term plans can be a red flag.

Are there limited opportunities for professional development? Is there a culture of stagnation and a lack of encouragement for upskilling or reskilling? A dead-end job can hinder your long-term career aspirations.

Do you feel underutilized or constantly passed over for challenging projects? Is your skillset not being leveraged effectively? Feeling undervalued can be demotivating and impact your sense of purpose.

Is your job impacting your mental or physical health? Are you experiencing burnout, anxiety, or decreased work-life balance? Prioritizing your well-being is crucial, and a toxic work environment might require a change.

 Leaving a job is a significant decision.  Before making the leap, consider:

Do you have an emergency fund to cover expenses during a job search?
Research current trends and opportunities in your field.
What kind of work environment and opportunities do you seek?

I can assist you in crafting a strong resume and cover letter, offer practice interviews, and connect you with valuable job search resources. Don't hesitate to schedule an appointment and explore your options.  Remember, your career path is yours to navigate.
