You’re not happy with your current job. How can you find a new one that makes you feel fulfilled?

In my experience, at that time you realize you're not happy with your job, you are the lucky person. I agree with the points you mention at "Assess your situation" but I want to add one more thing: Should pay attention to your life outside the work like Your family, Your relationships, and Your Mental and Physical Health. Some people are affected by this factor leading to not being happy at work. The reflect questions I often use: 1) What's in your mind? 2) What's the real challenge here? 3) What I want at this time?

3 grandes dicas: 1) É importante você fazer uma lista do que seria o trabalho perfeito para você, incluindo o modelo de trabalho, o tipo de equipe, o estilo do ambiente, os benefícios desejados e tudo mais que for importante para você 2) Após essa lista do trabalho ideal, pesquise sobre as empresas que têm interesse em trabalhar e veja se tem o match com a sua lista do trabalho ideal (que dificilmente você encontrará uma empresa que terá o match 100%) 3) Você pode ir além e se conectar com as pessoas que trabalham nas empresas que você mais se identifica nos cargos que gostaria para entender como é o dia a dia deles e se você gosta da realidade dessas empresas a ponto de escolher o novo emprego

Besides all the tools mentioned, you should try to conduct a survey or 360 feedback from your friend, or co-workers to see their viewpoints. This is important to help you make the decision. And during this process, maybe you could get new ideas or options that you didn't know before.

Finding a fulfilling job is like searching for the perfect travel destination. You don't want to just wander aimlessly! Setting SMART goals is like having a detailed travel itinerary. It helps you identify what kind of job fulfills you (destination) and creates a clear roadmap to get you there (action plan). Bonus "Ado" Tip: Don't get overwhelmed by the entire job search journey. Break down your goals into smaller, achievable steps. This could be attending one industry networking event a week or researching three new companies that align with your values. Taking small, consistent steps keeps you motivated and moving in the right direction towards your dream job.

Pack what you have: Many people do not have this mindset, so they are often confused before the interview, "I don't know what questions they will ask?". Packaging is as follows: - Recall and write down all the things you did in previous places - Check to see what problems have been resolved in each task - Reflect to see the cause and how you solved it and what knowledge you applied, were there any risks or limitations with that solution, if you could do it again, would you do it the same way? - If you can't remember everything, just rely on the employer's JD, see what problems they need to solve, and reflect on those problems. But I encourage you to try it if you have time, like creating a WIKI for yourself.

Landing your dream job is like finding your perfect puzzle piece! Be prepared to shine and show why you're the perfect fit. - Research Like a Detective: Deep dive into the company culture, role, and industry. Show genuine enthusiasm for their mission. - Craft Compelling Stories: Prepare answers that showcase your skills and how they align with the position. Focus on accomplishments that demonstrate passion and results. - Practice Makes Perfect: Refine your communication skills and interview presence. Mock interviews can boost your confidence and help you land that dream role. Bonus Tip: Be yourself and let your passion shine through! Authenticity is key to finding a position where your skills and values truly fit.

-In my experience, you should seek out the things you are passionate about. Assess your financial, security, enrichment and social needs. Choose no more than three courses of action, to avoid fatigue and confusion. Set up and conduct informational interviews with people in the fields you are interested in transitioning into. At this time, do not seek employment, just understanding of the industry, job and personal experiences of the person being interviewed. Make note of the positive and negative aspects from each interview. Continue your personal research using ONET Online: career exploration website and Data Axle database: a detailed analysis of employers and industries.

To find a new job that brings fulfillment, I would reflect on what aspects of my current role aren't satisfying and identify my passions, strengths, and values. Then, I would research industries and positions that align better with those factors, network with professionals in those fields, update my resume and LinkedIn profile to highlight relevant skills and experiences, tailor my job search to target roles that resonate with me, and be proactive in seeking out opportunities that offer the fulfillment I desire. Additionally, considering informational interviews and career counseling could provide valuable insights and guidance.
