Ask yourself things like: Are they creative? Do they share your values or interests? It's also important to think about the kind of people you want to work with and search for companies and industries that have those kinds of people, McKee says. "Career trajectory is going to be the one thing that will allow you to feel truly hopeful about that future." "Plan for not only the job you want now but your trajectory. When looking for a new job, McKee advises people to think more long-term and visualize the kind of lifestyle they ultimately want. "Then look for companies or small businesses, where you can actually do the things that make you feel like your work and life is worthwhile," McKee says. McKee says you first need to figure out what fulfills you and gives you purpose in your work.
McKee, who advises clients from CEOs at Fortune 50 companies to government officials in South Africa, says she encourages people to think about three things before quitting a job. "Rather it's more of a question of: What are you leaving? What do you no longer want in your work life? And more importantly, what do you want?" "So it's really not a question of, 'Can you be happy when you quit your job?' You definitely can," she says. "You also need to know what you want and what you'd like to find in this new chapter of your life," she says. It is important to get clear about what your issues are, so you don't make the same mistakes again, she says. Typically, says McKee, there are really only a few things that make people hate a job, like a boss, the commute or office culture. People should "think long and hard about what it is about their current job that is making them unhappy and get really clear about that," says McKee, who is a senior fellow and director of the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education Penn CLO Executive Doctoral Program. "We take ourselves with us to the new job."Īnnie McKee, Ph.D., author of "How to Be Happy at Work," agrees. "Is it something about you or is it something about the job? Because if it's you, you will likely bring that problem to your next job," Lyubomirsky says. The reason for quitting a job can also affect whether or not it will add to your happiness.
