During the last week I have heard of three individuals who were either promoted or climbed up the ladder to new and better positions. When you stay the course and indulge seriously into finding a job there is one waiting for you.
There are those individuals who remain in positions they absolutely abhor but because of what they believe are extenuating circumstances they remain in dead end jobs.
Shine up your resume and get out there and try. Market yourself and use your contacts. This doesn't take a long time but give yourself a few weeks and then a few months to prepare to take that leap of faith in yourself.
List your strengths and rely on them to carry you to the next position. Recently I had an energy check by a seasoned practitioner and found out that my own fear was preventing me from moving forward in my recovery from a stroke three years ago. Changing our own mindset is the answer . Are we willing to take the time to move into uncharted territory ?
Let me explain about professional relationships and how they can assist you in your change. Over time you have hopefully built a ménage of contacts and nursed them regularly. That is the glue that always adheres to your future.
When it comes time to move into another position you tap your resources.
If you were snowbound wouldn't you attempt to find that someone that would get you the help you needed to lift you out. The same is true for another position.
A professional I know has worked at two jobs since her resignation and will eventually move into a managerial position. She is determined to find her niche and works at letting people know she has the tools to succeed.
Staying in a position that exacerbates your downhill slide to loss of integrity and values is definitely not in service of yourself. Not only does it waste your valuable time but it makes you more fearful. When you are spinning those wheels you could lose confidence in yourself.
Always know that your experience and knowledge is what you alone can give to a company that does business legitimately and cares about employees.
As one of my closest friends says, "March On" and what I say is always look for the alternate plan.
