My question is how to find satisfaction with my career. I’ve got very marketable skills but find myself job-hopping because the satisfaction never lasts beyond a few years. The money may be less in another industry but satisfaction may be better. How do I find a balance? Many Thanks.
The Career Doctor responds:
You need to find that balance. While a little job-hopping is almost expected in today’s job market, employers do not like to receive resumes of people who can’t seem to hold a job. In other words, if you don’t find balance soon, you may soon find it very hard to find a new job.
Job satisfaction comes from many sources, so you need to decide what the most important factors are to you for job satisfaction.
Perhaps a good book for you to read is Career Satisfaction & Success: A Guide to Job and Personal Freedom, by the late Bernard Haldane, Ph.D. He wrote from his many years of experience helping people make the most of their careers and lives.
