Fear Of Change: Nervous About Changing Jobs?

 
Author: Carl Mueller

Here are some suggestions when you are considering changing jobs (including if you are actually considering a job offer) but are starting to get cold feet and question whether or not you should switch jobs:

    1. Remember why you want to leave your current position. Chances are good that the reasons you want to change jobs are still going to exist in your current position if you decide not to switch jobs which means youll still be unhappy.

    2. Ask yourself if a new position is going to get you where you want to be in your career. Or, will it at least get you closer to where you want to be? While you may not get everything you want in the new job, ensure that it at least addresses the most important needs and is an improvement over your current position.

    3. Remember that changing jobs is something youll most likely do several times in your life. If youre lucky each job change will be your decision. In other words, you wont ever get laid off or fired!

    4. Dont feel like youre letting your boss or company down if you decide to leave. Again, changing jobs is a natural part of life and its going to happen to you one way or the other. If you have been with a company for a significant period of time, it is understandable that you might feel your heart telling you to stay so just ensure you are making the right decision for your long-term career by switching jobs.

My name is Carl Mueller and I'd like to thank you for learning a bit more about me!

I feel that I have numerous relevant experiences during my career that come in useful when helping people with their careers:

I know what it?s like to work internationally, having worked overseas (in New Zealand, from 1994-1998).

I've survived several corporate downsizings while many of my colleagues were being laid off.

I have also experienced being laid off twice myself during corporate downsizings.

I know what it?s like to be self-employed.

I've helped many people find better jobs. I started to work as a professional recruiter in 2000 first as an Information Technology (IT) recruiter and then in general recruitment across many industries including IT, manufacturing and marketing. Since this time, I have helped many people find their dream career and it?s a great feeling.

I experienced one of the slowest hiring periods in recent memory especially during the general hiring slowdown that followed the Y2K frenzy in 1999, the bursting of the dot com bubble in early 2000, and then the employment market bottoming out following September 11, 2001.

These were certainly not great times to be a job searcher in most industries nor was it a particularly good time to be a recruiter.

Following this, I began running the day to day operations of an Internet-based company in early 2003 that focused on developing online software and subscription-based websites for consumers. It was then that I fully realized the power, usefulness and potential of the Internet which really spurred me to set up my own website which you can view in my Personal URL section below this bio.

I?m also a Platinum Ezine Articles Expert as recognized by EzineArticles.com, one of the most visited websites on the Internet. This special designation is earned by having consistently high-quality articles published and viewed on their website. All of my submissions are related to helping you find your dream career and many of my articles get reproduced on other websites by their webmasters.

Good luck with your career and I hope I have been of assistance to you!
