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?

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

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.

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.

Lucky you.
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

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.

Not actually sure what it is that you feel worried about, to be honest...

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

Many put-off leaving a job because they have Holiday plans and changing jobs may mean that you suddenly become bottom of the hierarchy when it comes to choosing which days to book off

Plus having a few days off and then facing the prospect of going back tends to put things into perspective a bit more

You don't say what industry you're in but I'd suggest contacting a few Recruitment Agencies who're in your line of work, pass them a CV and let them do all the looking around

The one thing about agencies is don't be afraid to say no, the agent will try to make it seem as if he's your best friend but remember he only gets paid on getting you into a job so they will often find you jobs that only fits where it touches and unless you're willing to say "no not interested in that job" you will wast a lost of time-off for attending interviews where you're wasting everyone's time

And most importantly say No if you do get offered a job you don't like, the Recruitment Consultant will dislike you for this but nothing like a few very short-term-hires to wreck a CV

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.

I'm guess that it's short for "return" because those extra 3 characters are such a chore to type

... and yet you seem unable to explain why.

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.
