How Do You Know When It's Time To Search For New Employment?

There comes a time when many of us evaluate the past and look forward to a better future. For some, that means the question arises as to whether they should make a career change and start looking for a new postion. Should you move to greener pastures with a new employer? After all, we spend far too many hours at work not to be happy in what we do. On the other hand, changing positions is risky as you really don’t know what you would be getting into. The devil you know is better than the devil you don’t, as they say.. The only way to know for sure is to ask yourself if you are achieving your goals with your current employer. If the answer is no, and more importantly you think you never will, then yes, it’s time to start looking for a new position.
