"Is NOW the right time for me to start thinking about a job search?"
Becca Carnahan
"Is NOW the right time for me to start thinking about a job search?"
I get this question a lot from parents juggling all the things and all the schedules.
My answer is always this.
You already ARE. ?
That's right. You already are thinking about it so the question isn't "IF you should be thinking about it."
The question is actually "HOW should I be thinking about it?
Because here's the deal, if you are asking yourself this question it's because something is not in alignment right now.
? Is it your work schedule?
? Your day-to-day responsibilities?
? Your team?
? Your home life?
Something isn't sitting right, and whether that means you start actively job searching today OR preparing yourself to have an effective job search in the future, now is the right time to take action.
And that action is figuring out HOW you want to think about your future job so that you stop spinning yourself further into the mud and start making progress that feels GOOD.
