𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀! According to a survey by Resume Now, workers say one of their top regrets is staying at a job for too long. More people said they regret staying too long at a job over quitting. Workers say they regret NOT taking action over their careers over acting too soon. Do you dislike your job? It might be better to quit than continue sticking it out in hopes it'll improve. Close to three in five workers say that one of their top career regrets is staying at a job for too long, according to a survey of 1,000 workers across the US, UK, Germany, and France by Resume Now. Conversely, only about two in five workers said they regret quitting a job. Workers are more likely to regret not taking action in their career over making moves that might initially feel risky or overly assertive. Workers said their other top professional regrets include not asking for a pay raise, not negotiating their salary, and not prioritizing their work-life balance. So, if you're struggling in your current role but don't see any other promising alternatives on the job market, don't be afraid to speak up at your company. Check-in with your colleagues first to gauge their feelings about their daily responsibilities. You might even find a way to improve your work current situation.

Giving that 5 minutes can make a huge difference in your career 🤚🏽   I understand why people who are happy with their jobs might find recruiters bothersome. We sometimes call or message out of nowhere, asking for personal information. It can feel intrusive.   “If I need a job, I’ll come to you myself.” - Most people   Trust me, I get that. I’ve been working in this industry for less than half a year, and even I get calls asking if I want to move. It can be frustrating if we are caught off guard or when we are busy.   But if we look past this, recruiters can provide immense value.   Even with my limited experience, I’ve seen firsthand how we change lives. We help people find better opportunities, progress in their careers, or find roles that allow them to focus on themselves or spend more time with loved ones.   The best recruiters I have seen are always trying to provide value. Even if you’re not looking for a job, we can share valuable market information—details about work culture, salaries, and promotion trends across different companies.   We know the trends in working styles, like which companies allow work from home, hybrid work, or flex time. This information can help you evaluate your current situation better.   And if you’re considering a job change, we can offer insights beyond job descriptions and company websites. We can tell you about career progression, management styles, and the kind of people who thrive in specific companies.   At en world Japan K.K., we have close connections with the hiring teams of most companies we work with. This allows us to provide people with information that they likely won't find on their own.   This information can help in making informed decisions about potential employers.   A good recruiter will also give honest advice. I’ve seen my experienced colleagues advise candidates to stay at their current jobs because compared to the market, their situation is great or vice-versa.   Information is leverage, and it can help us make better career decisions.   Even in my short time in this industry, I’ve talked with people working the same job for half a decade, earning half of what they could elsewhere. Others work 60 to 80 hours of overtime because they don’t know better opportunities exist.   Some are working in the same position for years without a promotion because of headcount or similar reasons.   So, give us that 5 minutes and ask us what you need to know. It could make a big difference in your career.   ////////////////////////////////////////// At en world Japan K.K., we can help people make informed decisions and get their professional and personal goals.   If you are interested in the recruitment industry and want to support careers, we are actively hiring new graduates for FY25.

What are the most common career regrets? This article by CBNC highlights the most common career regrets include not asking for a pay increase, not prioritizing work-life balance, staying at a job too long and not negotiating salary for a new job. Personally, I think work-life balance is essential for career success. Making sure I prioritise time for the gym, socialising and for down time means that I can show up as the best version of myself for myself and my colleagues. #hrnetwork #career

Don't just QUIT your JOB the moment someone offers you a better salary. Research your new boss, the people and the culture. Consider the company environment you're stepping into. Have you met your potential colleagues? Are they people you see yourself collaborating with and learning from? Consider the company's reputation. Is it known for nurturing talent and promoting growth? Do they value their staff? Take a keen look at their employee retention rates if you can. Consider your own aspirations. Will this job bring you closer to your career goals? Be strategic about every move you make. Remember, your salary isn't your sole compensation—job satisfaction, growth opportunities and a fulfilling work environment are even more invaluable. Learn to prioritize your long-term career growth over the immediate lure of a fatter paycheck. Everyone's path is unique. Make informed, strategic decisions. #mondaymotivation #newjob #linkedin #samuelshaba

Often, people make the #mistake of accepting a job offer just because of a better basic salary. It’s crucial to assess the overall package, not just the financial aspect. Review the role to ensure it aligns with your career goals and work-life balance. Check their benefits package; this is often overlooked but plays a significant role in job satisfaction. And saved the best for last – the environment! Most people who know me have heard me say this multiple times: We spend more time at work than at home! So, pick a company that respects and advocates for positive environments. A good environment is crucial for anyone to thrive, as it impacts our overall happiness and productivity. Don't underestimate the effect of toxic workplaces on your mental well-being; they often have a direct correlation to your health. Additionally, consider the reputation of the company you’re moving to, as it can affect your professional growth and satisfaction. Before you make a decision to move, assess all aspects: - The 'full package', not just salary - Career growth and work-life balance - Work environment - Company reputation #libyahr #hr #hrtips

DISCLAIMER: The photo below is a joke, not a literal manifestation of me when this happens! 😂 It seems that more candidates are expressing doubts about their decision to move. This can be interpreted in a few different ways: 🤔Firstly, it could mean that their current company has made changes to make their role more enjoyable. 🤔Secondly, their current company may have found out about their intention to leave and offered them a pay raise and a progression plan. 🤔Lastly, the candidate may be having second thoughts about making such a big change. It's important to consider the reasons behind these actions. If it's because the company has acknowledged its faults and is making improvements, that should be commended. However, if it's simply a reaction to the candidate's departure, it's important to question the motives. ❓Will this pay raise and progression plan truly address the candidate's long-term feelings about the company? ❓Are there realistic targets associated with the progression plan? ❓Will the extra money fix all the problems and make them happy? If you find yourself in this situation, it may be worth considering your own happiness and sanity. If this resonates with you, feel free to reach out to me. Have a fantastic day! #recruitment #newopportunities #recruitmentproblems

When changing jobs, there are certain reasons that might not be well-received by HR professionals, but are still valid for job seekers to give. Here are five such reasons: 👉Seeking a Higher Salary: Mentioning money as the sole reason and the primary motivator for a job change might be frowned upon by HR. Asking for equitable compensation for your expertise is a justifiable aspiration. 👉Better Work-Life Balance: Some may see this as an inability to manage workplace stress or commitments. However, prioritizing personal well-being and a balance between personal and professional life are the valid reasons for seeking a new job. 👉Job-Fulfilment: HR might see this as a lack of commitment to your current role. Yet, it is okay to seek work which aligns with your aspirations and interests. 👉Relocation for Personal Reasons: HR could see this as a lack of loyalty to the company. However, moving closer to family or for a partner's career is a perfectly reasonable decision. 👉Aspiration to Work in a Different Industry: This might raise concerns about your dedication to the current field. However, wanting to explore new professional avenues is a part of career growth and personal exploration. It's important to communicate these reasons tactfully during an interview, focusing on the positive aspects of the change and how it aligns with your career goals. #jobseeksers #hrtips #corporateculture #softwaredevelopers #softwareengineers #hrmanagers #hrexecutive #hrrecruiters #itjobs #mohalijobs
