BY Skillset 21 Jul, 2024

Struggling to Find the Motivation to Look for a New Job? 

Have you been thinking about changing jobs but just can’t find the motivation to take the first step? Maybe you’re hesitant about making a change, or perhaps staying where you are simply feels easier.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. The good news is that now is one of the best times to consider a career move. Here are three strong reasons why it’s worth rethinking your approach to job searching and how to get started with confidence.

Your Job Impacts Your Health and Wellbeing

It might sound like a cliché, but finding a job you enjoy can make a big difference to your quality of life. Research shows that employees who are happy at work are:

  • 31% more productive
  • Three times more creative
  • More likely to experience positive mental health and quicker career growth

A fulfilling job offers more than a pay cheque. It brings social connection, a sense of purpose, and greater self-esteem. Considering the average person spends nearly a third of their life at work, prioritising job satisfaction is essential for long-term wellbeing.
