    Think Twice Before You Jump To A New Job
    (Part 1 of 2)


    by Ramon Greenwood

    You've got the itch to change jobs. This might be a good time to make the move. The Wall Street Journal has just reported, "Job-seekers from rank-and-file workers to senior executives are preparing their resumes for what may be the strongest fall hiring season in years."

    "Before you jump to a new job, be certain you have good, sound reasons for wanting to make a change," advises Ramon Greenwood, senior career counselor at Common SenseAtWork.com> "You may believe you can accelerate your career with a new job. You may be bored or running away from personal problems."

    First, ask yourself, "Are there things I can do to make my present situation more acceptable?"

    Don't be lulled into believing that the grass will necessarily be greener in another pasture. Or that a new pasture will be a great deal different from the one you are grazing in now.

    Except in the most extreme reasons, do not leave your present job until you have another one firmly in hand. If it was ever true that a bird in hand is worth two in the bush, it is when a job is concerned. Remember, it is always easier to get a job when you have one.

    What Do You Want?

    Take the time to figure out what you really want to do. What will it take to make you happier? It is not enough to know what you want to change from; you need to know what you want to change to.

    Be specific in answering these questions. Don't allow yourself to be driven by a sense of vague malaise to make a change just for the sake of change. If you can't spell out in writing the valid reasons you want to move to a new job and be equally specific about what you want that job to be, don't set the process in motion.
