Hold On to Your Career

There are so many unhappy employees in the world today; some are your friends and colleagues at work who complain about how miserable their lives are because their jobs drive them crazy.  But don’t you find it amusing how they plan to stay in their current jobs and whine all the time? Yes it is easy to say that you want to quit your job but think of the entire process of quitting and starting a new one; will you be ready to go through the whole recruitment process once again? Do you have a valid reason to quit your job? Do you want to be free from stress or have more time for your family? Do you need more time to grow? Given these different circumstances, what makes you so sure that leaving your job for another one will solve all the issues in your professional life?

Before you ever decide on quitting your job, answer these questions first and find out if you have really taken the time to love your job.

1. Did I give enough contribution to the company? If you ever look back on how you were as an employee for the last couple of years, will you be happy with your performance? Take time to reflect on the good things that you have done for the company and for yourself. 

2. Did I talk to my boss about how I feel? Did I ask for his honest opinion about my work? Take time to talk to your boss and share with him your plans for the future. If he values you enough, then you will know where you stand in the company.  He will be willing to give you a helpful advice on how to improve and grow together with the organization. Remember that a good working relationship with your boss could be one of the many reasons why you want to stick to your job.

3. Have I developed and made meaningful relationships with my co-workers? Have I treated them with the same respect and courtesy that I want for myself? It is always good to work with people you are comfortable with; it makes the job lighter and the environment happier.

4. Am I asking too much from my employer? Yes, getting promoted is great but there are many factors that may lead your boss to promote someone. Deliver an outstanding performance and stay loyal to the company; prove your worth before you even think of getting promoted.

Choosing a career can be a very challenging thing to do because it can sometimes take a lifetime to figure out what is best for us. But, that doesn’t mean that we need to jump from one career to another everytime we encounter blocks on the road. We need to have a tough heart to overcome these roadblocks and just try to make the best out of every challenge that come along the way.

Why Teach in Canada

Teachers play a very important role in the world today; by helping each student learn and reach his full potential as a person.

All your efforts and your hardwork are paid off because you have inspired your students to become better individuals, and have made them realize their dreams.
