Strategies for When You Lose Faith in Your Organization

11/27/2020

It all started great.

Perfect job. Great boss.  Fab colleagues.  Interesting work.

Then, things changed.  Your organization was bought out, or evolved.  Your boss moved up or on.  Valued colleagues drifted off the team.

The only constant is change; here are three strategies to consider when you think it may be time for a change in your career.

  1. It’s important to acknowledge what is still working for you at work, and getting crystal clear on what is not. Change is uncomfortable for everyone; what’s important is to check in and see what is there for you and then decide if you want to work with your current employer to address the gaps, or start job shopping.

  2. Be industry and market aware; it helps to be more objective about your current role when you know what different employers and roles in your profession have to offer.  As an example, if many employers in your area are freezing salaries because of economic pressure, leaving your current role because of a salary freeze might be short-sighted. 

  3. Start looking at job postings via LinkedIn or a popular job board. Is there something that looks as if it would be better for your career right now? If so, and you’re qualified, apply and see if the employer responds. If you don't get the response you were hoping for, it can help identify development opportunities for you to work on, giving you time to prepare for a brighter future from the security of the job you have today.

Sometimes, when you talk to others (network contacts, mentors, etc.) about what may seem like better opportunities, you come to the realization you're actually in the best place for you right now.  

Or, you learn about fantastic career options in your area of expertise.

Whatever possibilities await you, go into this with curiosity and discernment.

It’s not healthy working for an organization you don’t believe in, but take the time you need to get professional advice, and make a strong career decision, or you risk ending up some place even less desirable.
