To ensure success in any endeavor that you undertake, it is always best to identify a motivating factor or force to drive you to complete said task. If you have a project to finish at home, your motivator is generally a spouse or loved one. If you have a task to complete at work, your motivator is usually your boss.

So, when you start thinking that it might be time to look for another job, you need to find your motivator to help you complete that task. If you use a lame motivator, you will most likely not invest enough time or energy to find a great job.

One great way to get started in your job search is to get your resume posted on all the pertinent job sites. The PutMyResumeOnline service will post your resume on over 90 job boards including Monster, HotJobs, CareerBuilder, etc. and it will be seen by up to 1.5 million recruiters and employers daily.

You can also get exposed to recruiters quickly by sending your resume to them directly. The ResumeArrow service lets you email your resume right to the inboxes of thousands of recruiters in your industry and geographic location.

Reasons and Benefits

To start, you need to list out the factors that are swaying you towards getting a new job:
1. More Money
2. Too many hours
3. Not enough responsibility
4. No chance for advancement
5. Poor location

Then, you should match benefits to your reasons for changing your job.
1. Able to do more with family and afford things that we want and need.
2. Able to spend more time with family or more time doing things for
myself
3. Able to enhance my resume and work experience with added
4. responsibilities in the hopes of getting higher level positions
5. Able to advance to higher level positions
6. Able to spend more quality time outside of work, not just driving to and from work.

Impacts

Now, take a look at what aspects of your life will be impacted by changing jobs.
1. Lose friends at old job
2. Learn new skills or take more classes to get the new job
3. Get acquainted with new coworkers

Motivators in your daily life

Finally, take a look at what works best for motivating you to get your daily tasks completed.
1. Deadlines
2. Planning things out to stay busy all the time
3. Spouse
4. Boss

Once you have compiled this information, look at it and see if there is a common thread. Using the examples above, the two common threads I see are family and career. If this were you, you should pick whichever thread motivates you more and use that to spur your actions.

Personally, the family thread works for me. I would do more to make changes if I were to look at the benefits that my family and I would reap from the change. I would get to spend more quality time with my family and have more money to do the things we want.

The reasons for wanting to change will be different for every one but by listing them out and weighing the benefits and the impacts, you will get a better focus on what drives you to get that new job.

I hope your job search is going well. For information on other helpful job searching resources, please feel free to visit our web site:
