Not happy in your job?

Maybe a ‘Career Health Check’ is what you need.

Just like we check our cars and teeth, taking time out to assess the vitality of our work life can provide valuable insights.

Here are some questions to help you get started:

– What important aspects of my work are not being recognised? Why?

– What do I like about my job?

– What don’t I like about my job?

– What are my strengths? Am I using them effectively?

– What are my weaknesses? Am I working on eliminating them?

– Do I welcome constructive feedback?

– Do I look for opportunities to stretch myself or am I keeping my head down?

– Do I feel optimistic about where my career is heading?

– Do I have a clear plan for my career, and is this job going to get me there?

– Does my current job fit the lifestyle I want?

If these questions resonate with you and you feel the need to reassess your career, it might be time to talk to our Career Specialists.
