JERRY'S SHORT: Before You Quit Your Job Look for These Opportunities First - a podcast by Brandon Cunningham and Jerry Dugan
from 2023-07-27T06:00
Before you quit your job, let’s explore the challenges of hating your job and try these steps that may improve communication, open up growth opportunities, and create career fulfillment where you are now.
If you're looking for opportunities for growth and ways to expand your skills on a low budget, one option is to negotiate with your supervisor to take on additional responsibilities that are outside of your normal job description (and handing off other responsibilities.)
Delegation of responsibilities not only frees up your leader’s time but also allows you a chance to develop skills for the next level of your career.
People love formal training programs. However, there may not be funds to send everyone through a class or course. Consider asking if your company will cover the costs of joining a local or national association at a fraction of the cost of attending a formal training program. These associations can provide valuable networking opportunities and access to resources that can help you grow professionally.
It's important to assess whether you feel fully engaged with your skill sets in your current role. If you find yourself highly skilled but only given mundane tasks like checking mail or orders, it may be worth discussing this with your supervisor. Rather than surprising them during an annual performance review or leaving for another organization.
In this episode, you will be able to:
- Invite others into conversations, keep them respectful, and find mutual ground.
- Engage and contribute in meetings, and stand out in a positive light.
- Articulate the top two reasons why people leave their jobs.
- Take initiative and look for ways to grow your experience and explore new opportunities within the organization if you decide to stay.
- Evaluate your work situation and know whether it’s time to stay or fold.
