4 reasons PR pros should look for a new job
If you recognize these telltale signs of a stagnant position, it’s time to move on—maybe into something that seems a little scary.
How do you know when you’re ready to make a move or even switch careers?
Often, people feel stuck in a job, industry or organization and need inspiration to start moving.
Here are the four telltale signs that you’re ready to leap into a new job:
1. You’ve given your current role a fair shot.
If you’re thinking about going elsewhere, make sure you’ve given your current position enough time to say that it’s really not for you.
There are always ups and downs at work, and the downs might cause you to be irrational about leaving.
Ask yourself:
If the answer to all three is yes, then you’ve given it a fair chance and it might be time to move on.
2. New projects are tasks, not opportunities.
If you’re looking to climb the career ladder and differentiate yourself from other PR pros, you can’t be static at work.
You have to take on opportunities that stretch your skills and enable you to learn. Traditional skills are still essential, but if you’re not staying on top of new tools and processes, you can fall behind.
