Change Yourself Before Changing Jobs.

Many people’s careers and lives are often held back by one small thing.

You might also be holding yourself back in your career, but if you can fix this one small thing, your career and life will change for the better. If you are not able to make this minor yet substantial adjustment, then everything will just continue in the same way as before, and you may never achieve all that you are capable of achieving.

I have always believed that it is best to focus mainly on our strengths, not our weaknesses. When you work on your strengths, you are much more likely to improve. Certain people are good at certain things and bad at others. You will improve more in something you are good at than in something that is a weakness. Many of us have giant weaknesses, and just making a small gain in our weaknesses, or a shift in our perceptions, can make a major difference in the quality of our lives and careers.

One of the biggest weaknesses that people have is job-hopping, which comes about due to a weakness they have neglected to address.

Some reasons people give for hopping from one job to another are:
* They do not think that their employer fits them.
* They are bored.
* They do not feel they are receiving enough feedback.
* There are not enough advancement opportunities.
* There is too much criticism in the workplace.
* They find their employer unethical.
* They do not get along with coworkers.
* They dislike their boss.
* They do not think that they are paid enough money.
* They feel unrecognized for their contribution.
* They feel devalued.
* They do not believe their employer is prestigious enough.
* They do not trust the company.
* They do not feel challenged.

Most job hoppers go between jobs for the same primary reason over and over again. When this reason keeps repeating itself, I believe that this is often a signal that something is wrong with the person’s perceptions and attitudes, not necessarily with their employers.

What would happen to people who addressed this one reason for wanting to leave–while still at their existing job? What would happen if the people who are constantly leaving one job after another decide to fix themselves, instead of constantly blaming the employer?

I have heard various statistics about employment rates lately, one of which states that as many as 55% of employed people are always looking for a new job. This is a very high statistic. This tells me that a large proportion of people out there are already “out the door” of their current employer on a psychological level. Holding on to and advancing in a job are often greater challenges than looking for and taking on a new job. Therefore, many people prefer to simply take a new job, rather than to try making their current job work. I think this is a mistake.

Generally, the best opportunities are those that are before you right now. Your best prospect for advancement is more often than not at your current job, not at another job. Your current relationships are often your very best asset. Your current experience with an employer is often more valuable than taking a risk with a new employer. You should always try to make the most of your existing relationships and jobs before starting over with someone or someplace new. If you stop and think about it, it is likely that you already know what would be required of you to advance in your current job, whereas you could spend years learning the requirements of some new employer.

I cannot tell you how many people I have encountered who constantly hop between jobs for seemingly no reason at all. There are, of course, good reasons to change jobs. However, this is a very important decision to make, and it is not something a person should do often. For better or for worse, taking a new job means entering into an unknown set of circumstances; it means taking huge chances with your future. You should never take a new job if you do not have to, and you should never switch jobs unless you fully understand whether or not the problem with your current job is something that you can fix.

There are people who are always complaining about their job–whatever it may be–and jumping from one place of employment to another. Such persons will generally be happy with a new job for a short while, but after some time, for one reason or another, they will decide that the job is not everything it seemed to be in the beginning. At that point, the persons will become highly critical of the job and will begin fantasizing about and eventually looking for a new job. Such types of people tend to be always looking outside of themselves, blaming others for their condition. This is extremely common; you probably have known people who are like this.

Is there one thing that is holding you back in your own career? If something is holding you back, driving you to look for a job when you should not, and creating other issues for you–then fix it. Fix this one thing and your career and life will change for the better. When you are having difficulties in the workplace, it is almost always about you, not others.

All About Job Security.

Do you have job security? How can you be sure? What exactly is job security?

You’ve probably heard that the most secure job in any company is that of the HR Manager because they have to be around at least long enough to fire everyone else. Well, whether that is true or not, I do know that a lot of people spend a lot of time worrying about job security.

Yet, even with a lot of worry and effort to find just the right job, rarely do we have control over our jobs to the point that we can really feel secure that we will be able to do tomorrow what we are doing today.

So what is job security?

A simple search on the Internet and you’ll find many definitions of job security. One site says it is the assurance that we have about the continuity of gainful employment.

Another gives a list of dependencies for job security. Some of those are: the economy, prevailing business conditions and a person’s skills. Some also state that government jobs are more secure than others.

It’s almost laughable really because if you look deep enough, you will find that basically every business, economic, social and personal factor that could ever come into play, can have an affect on your job security. Well, if you ask me, that doesn’t sound very secure. So what do you do? How can you find real job security? Or can you?

Well I believe we can and it really doesn’t matter where you work or who you work for. IT doesn’t matter if the economy is good or bad or where you’re located or even your skill level. To find real job security, you just have to be able to answer one question: What would you do tomorrow, if you lost your job today?

If you are like most people, the thought of losing your job freaks you out just a little bit (or a lot). You aren’t sure what you would do. All you know for sure is that you have bills to pay, food to buy and a people to take care of it. In other words you don’t have a plan.

Real job security comes from having a plan in place and ready for when that day comes that your job goes away. To begin building your plan, answer the following questions:

How long can I live without a job? - To live without a job, you need to have some money set back, an emergency fund if you will. Do you have one?

What are my strengths and Weaknesses? – Do you know what you are good at? Maybe you are an accountant right now but do you have any other transferable skills that you could take to a different job

How To Find Time For Your Job Search By Caroline Ceniza-Levine Platinum Quality Author

Between interviews, networking, researching companies, canvassing job boards, following up with recruiters, etc., a job search takes as much time as a current job. Many jobseekers think they need to quit their current job before they start looking. But traditional advice says the best time to look is when you're employed. So how do you fit a job search into your already packed schedule?

Recruiters and employers prefer the currently employed, even if you have a perfectly good reason to be unemployed. Employed people are in-the-know. Employed people have access to competitor information. Employed people have an existing network that can be tapped for candidate referrals for the recruiter and/or new business for the employer. Therefore, quitting is an absolute last resort. Besides, if you have to quit to take on a job search, then what would you do if a special work project arose or a promotion came up that required increased responsibility?

On the one hand, this is a math and logistics problem. You have 24 hours per day that you need to allocate towards your various obligations, including your job search. There are certain things that can only be done at certain times (e.g., returning phone calls, interviewing). Therefore, the short answer to your time management conundrum is that you itemize where you're currently spending time, see where you can cut things out to make room for your search, and block out periods as needed for the time-specific search activities. As a coach, one of my first exercises with new clients is to audit their existing time, money and energy expenditures to identify what resources we have to dedicate to the search.

On the other hand, this is a psychology problem. The longer explanation for a job search time management conundrum is that inertia, fear, anxiety, and other unpleasantness is exposed by a job search. A job search requires a tremendous amount of initial effort to launch and then even more continued effort to execute till completion. If you are not sure why you are looking, if you are second-guessing what your interests are, or if you have other priorities, then it will be that much harder to start and sustain your search. So, if you are not getting traction with your current search or unable to even start, before you rearrange your schedule (as per above) ask yourself first if you really want to do this. As a coach, I very specifically define a client's targets first before anything else (sometimes it's a job search but many times it becomes something else). My client and I need to know before we start where we'd like to finish.

Maybe you need a new hobby, not a new job. Maybe you need to reconnect with old friends. Maybe you need to take better care of yourself. If you are not finding the time for your search, maybe you don't care enough about it. That's okay, but stop second-guessing yourself and just redirect your efforts to other more productive pursuits for right now. Once you take care of your competing priorities, you can come back to your job search with a renewed dedication.
