Make 2023 the year you take control of your career

Are you looking forward to the holidays and dreading going back to your job in 2023? If so, the holidays can be a good time to reflect and think about what you really want. Instead of scouring job ads looking for something similar to your current role or the next step up, take the time to ask yourself:

What parts of your role do you enjoy? What parts don’t you like? Are these the same things that you like and disliked in previous roles?

If not, what did you enjoy in previous roles?

If you are unclear, how do you know that your next job is going to be one that suits you?

What are the 3 deal breakers for you in a new role? The factors that you don’t want to compromise on?

Does your current role align to your deal breakers?

Taking the time to think about what you really want instead of looking to see what is on offer is a way of taking control of your career. And all jobs have a level of compromise but if you are doing something you really like you can decide what compromises you are willing to take.
