New Job for the new year?
I always get depress about ret to work after the weekend, but having had 4 days away from work and back for 2 days this week I'm looking for other jobs, but this is nothing new.
Do you feel like I do after a short/lonf break? The people I work with on the whole are ok - the travel is ok as free parking - the hours are ok, from 10 until 4pm - I been working at this place for more than 7 years and worry about applying for jobs and interview skills. I am a professional in a office setting but cn't say more than that. Any tips how to tackle my worries? x |

I hope your job as a professional in an office setting doesn't involve writing correctly.

Why look for a new job when the one you have right now is fine, and seemingly not causing you too much stress?
You don't know what crap awaits you in a new job. Better the devil you know, sometimes. I think that does put me off, but will keep an open mind |

No new job for me in the new year. I am happy where I am.
I have been in jobs in the past where I have dreaded going back after time off. There is no worse feeling. However, the job I am in now and have been in for over 6 years I really love, so I am perfectly happy about having to go back to work tomorrow. In fact, I'm actually looking forward to going back to work tomorrow as I am bored witless at home during the day. |

I think there's something about this time of year that makes people feel they should make some changes. Give it a few days and you might feel ok again.

I can honestly say that I have never looked forward to going back to work other than when I was off with depression when my second ex suddenly left me. I just wanted things to ret to normal. Thanks for sharing x |

Presumably because you haven't made up that part of the story yet.

You live with your mum and dad, you also have your own property and you have a job which sounds pretty good in that it ticks a lot of boxes.
You have nothing to worry about. Assuming anything in these threads is true. |

I've wanted a new job for over four years lol, been to two interviews for other places and couldn't believe how nervous I was when I was in them. I used to be ok at interviews, but based on those last two I wouldn't have hired me either
![]() As someone said earlier in the thread sometimes it's better the devil you know, as much as I'd like a new job I'm now married with a mortgage and thinking about kids in the next year or two. There is no harm in having a look and sending out some CVs, but as my Dad says - "Make sure you have something lined up before you quit," -- One of my more free spirited friend's chucked her job thinking she would slip into another quite easy, that was over a month ago and she's still looking. |

It's the time of the year which sees a great deal of people changing jobs (the other being September post Summer Holidays) and the reason is largely the same for both

Thank you MW
I would not chuck in my current job until i have got something new. Worried sick re work tomorrow having a G&T Maybe just have another 10 G&Ts, throw a sickie and don't go back until May. I think you may find that whatever issue is troubling you ceases to exist after a couple of weeks - when they issue you with your P45.
