Just the process of seeking a new job requires effort and creates stress. Meeting new people in networking and interviewing is stressful for most people. If you have a job, making interviews with another company creates the stress of getting away from your work without being discovered.
Along with normal life experiences of getting married, buying a house, and having children, starting a new job is among the most rewarding and yet stressful life-changing events. Changing jobs often means leaving friends and leaving familiar routines to go to a place where you don’t know anyone and where the people, the ways of working, and the culture are completely different.
Each phase of a well-planned job change begins with having the best information about what you need to know and what you stand to gain or lose. Therefore, if you are having difficulties with your current job and you have found that you cannot improve these conditions, begin to discuss your plans to make a change with your friends and family. From there, begin to research the most effective step you will take at each step of the way.
