Job change? Don’t feel the fear!

Felicity Evans • October 21, 2015

Halloween is almost upon us, and for many people the most frightening thing they can imagine isn’t an alien invasion or a zombie apocalypse – it’s changing jobs.

If you really dislike the job you’re doing, it can sometimes make the choice easier: you’re so keen to leave, making the scary leap into the unknown is probably the better option. It’s when you’re fairly comfortable, but uninspired; enjoying the work, but concerned how management operate or treat you and your fellow employees; or worried about the future of the company, that deciding whether to stay or go becomes a really tough choice.

The main concerns that people have when considering a job change are: what if I’m just jumping from the frying pan into a particularly big fire? And, on a more personal level: what if my skills aren’t up to finding a new job?

Let’s put it this way – if an alien invasion or zombie apocalypse were to happen tomorrow, and you hadn’t at least tried to find the job of your dreams, you’d probably kick yourself, wouldn’t you? Visit us at Recruit Mint, and we can impartially assess your skills and recommend any training we think you might need, and help rewrite your CV to showcase your abilities, too. We can also calm any fears you might have about potential new employers: we work closely with every single company who seeks new employees through us, making sure that they’re right for us and right for the candidates we represent. If we think someone might not enjoy working somewhere, we don’t recommend it to them – it’s as simple as that.

So, when it comes to job-hunting, there’s nothing to fear this Halloween. (Except the aliens and the zombies, but that’s not our area of expertise, unfortunately…)
