If you are unhappy in your current career role take time out to understand what would make you passionate about turning up to the office every morning. Find a good time to have a word with your boss or human resources manager to help them understand how you are feeling – with the positive spin on what you could be doing for the company.

Any good employer should welcome your feedback and if you are valued they will make an effort to try and address the situation.

Time and time again employees only lay out their ‘issues’ when they are pushed to do so when they hand in a resignation letter. Too late. 

There are a number of reasons why I say ‘too late’.

1. If this is the only time you feel you can tell the company, you have a bad boss!

2. If the subject of your career has only come up because you resigned, you have a bad boss!

3. The company knows how difficult and how much time and money it will take to replace you. They will wait until it is a matter they can control on their terms, therefore you are probably in the firing line!

4. Evidence indicates that a very high percentage of people who take counter offers from their employer are back on the job market within a year. It often just doesn’t work out the way they told you it would!

5. Its a dangerous game to resign in the hope that your company will want to keep you on board. Like a long shot do you?
