3 Questions to Ask Before Looking for a New Job

If you’re not happy at work, moving to a new career is one of the best ways to change your entire life. You spend most of your waking time working, so if you hate every moment of it, it’s easy to start feeling stuck, down, and just plain unhappy. Of course, quitting your existing role and looking for something new can be a nerve-wracking experience too. Although job market today is a lot more flexible than it used to be, and there are a lot of opportunities out there, you still have a period of uncertainty ahead. So how do you know whether this is really the right time to start looking for a new role? Start by asking yourself these questions.

Why Do I Want a New Job?

First, it’s important to ask yourself why you’re looking for a new role. If you love your existing job, but you don’t feel like you’re getting paid enough to do it, or the hours don’t suit you anymore, it might be better to speak to your employer before you try looking for something new. Try to avoid toxic positives and take a more direct route to determining your true level of satisfaction. On the other hand, if you feel like your skills aren’t being properly utilized, or you feel unfulfilled at work, then it’s important to ask yourself how you’re going to fix these issues when you start looking for your new role. Make a list of the things you want to get out of your new job, so you can refer to them when examining potential opportunities.

Am I Ready for the Role I Want?

If the reason you want to switch to a new job is because you’re interested in exploring a different industry or a new set of skills, then it’s important to determine whether you’re equipped for the role you want. Many specialist jobs will require at least some basic training, and some might even need you to go back to school and get another degree. If you need to update your education, you’ll need to look for a way to find funding for this learning process. A private lender can give you a student loan for this purpose, which you can pay back once you’re in your better (higherpaying) role. Make sure before you start looking for funding, you know exactly how much it’s going to cost to get your new degree, and whether you’re going to continue working when you earn it or not.

Can I Handle a Major Change?

Finally, if you’ve decided you have a lot of good reasons for seeking out a new job, and you’ve got the skills you need to apply for a different position, the last thing you’ll need to do is think about whether you’re in the right emotional position right now to change careers. Even if this move is a fantastic one for you, there’s a good chance that changing something significant, like your chosen role, will lead to a decent amount of upheaval in your life. Making sure you have plenty of support around you, and the right mental fortitude to handle the change will stop you from regretting the decision later.
