Why Youre TERRIFIED To Find A New Job (Even If Youre Completely Miserable) - Work It Daily
Why Youâre TERRIFIED To Find A New Job (Even If Youâre Completely Miserable) - Work It Daily Are you ready to get HIRED? You hate your job. You find yourself complaining about it daily to your family and friends. Every Sunday night, you tell yourself that youâre going to finally quit and find a new job because you just canât take it anymore. ... But you donât. (Psst! Canât get hired? Watch this free tutorial.) Instead, you go to work, come home, complain, and start the whole cycle over again. Youâre completely miserable in your current job, but youâre absolutely terrified to find a new job. But why? Youâre afraid of the unknown. Yes, starting a new job can be scary. You have to adapt to a new work environment, make new work friends, and even learn some new skills - and you donât know if youâll even like it after everything's said and done. What if it turns out to be worse than your last job? What if they donât like you? What if you donât fit in? What if you donât perform on the level they expected? Itâs similar to starting at a new school where you donât know anyone, where anything is, or how your teachers are going to be. The truth is, starting a new job can be intimidating. Youâre walking into a new situation and youâre not sure what to expect. The best thing you can do is get to know the company as much as you can before accepting a job there. Learn it inside out, make an effort to get to know people youâd be working with over LinkedIn or coffee, and ask questions that can give you insight on the company culture. Youâre not confident in what you have to offer. Donât feel like youâve got what it takes to make it anywhere else? Afraid to find a new job because you donât want to look like an incompetent employee? If you think youâre lacking the skills to succeed elsewhere, take an inventory of your skill sets then compare them to the skill sets that are required for the jobs youâre considering. What are you missing? Where do you need to ramp up your skills? Do you have additional skills that could lend themselves to the job? How and why? Youâre not really sure what you have to offer. You need to understand what you have to offer so you can market yourself effectively to employers. Again, go in and take a look at your skill sets. Think about past accomplishments at work. What have you achieved? What are you proud of? What problem do you solve at your current company? You donât know what you want to do next. You want to find a new job, but you have no idea what you want to do. All you know is that you hate your current job and you want out. If youâre having trouble figuring out what you want to do next, you need to take some time to explore. Research different jobs, industries, and companies. Talk to people about their work, why they like it, hate it, and what excites them about it. Take some time to figure out what interests you and what projects energize you. Youâre afraid of the financial repercussions. What if you donât get the benefits you have at your current job? What if you have to take a pay cut? What if it takes too long to find a new job and you run out of money? Research competitive salary rates using the Glassdoor Know Your Worth salary calculator before you look for a new job. Research the companies youâre interested in to learn about what kinds of benefits they offer employees. Itâs important to understand what your priorities and must-haves are in your new job. The last thing you want to do is accept a job knowing that it wonât meet your needs because it will just result in you looking for a new job in a few months. However, understand that you might not necessarily make the same paycheck as your current job. Research so you know what to expect. Are you ready to get HIRED?
