Does this job-seeker's scenario sound similar to yours? Jamie once loved his job and the accomplishments he achieved in it. But as time went by, the work began to get repetitive, and on more than one occasion he was either promised a promotion and never received it or was simply passed over for a promotion. He began pining for the weekends and dreading Sunday evenings. His attitude toward his job and employer turned sour. He often felt tired and uninspired. Yet he stayed on the job because the pay was good and the job market poor.
It is fairly obvious that Jamie was dissatisfied with his job, but the bigger issue is -- when did it turn from something he really enjoyed to a chore? We spend the vast majority of our lives working, and while it won't all be wonderful and satisfying, we need to make changes before we hit a point of no return -- when our dissatisfaction begins a downward spiral of missed promotions, increased sick days, poor performance evaluations, and lost salary increases.
