It is important that you evaluate your career a year after leaving your marriage or divorce. The reason is that even if you receive monthly child support or alimony, you have needs that even money cannot meet. Being able to feel a sense of accomplishment is just one of these needs. Another would be the ability of being able to provide for your family. Regaining your independence is another.
So how will you re-evaluate your career? Here are four simple questions that you need to ask yourself to see whether or not your present job is for you or if you need to change jobs.
Do you like your present job?
Did you know that there are a lot of people nowadays who are in a career that they don’t even like? Sad as it may seem, this is true. While having a job that you don’t like is way better than having none at all, it poses a lot of consequences. For instance, there is neither satisfaction nor a sense of accomplishment. You will also always feel discontented.
So if you answer “yes” to this question, stay with your present job. But if you answered “no”, then it’s about time you apply for another job that is within your line of interest.
Does your present job give you enough money?
The fact is that you do need money. Even if there’s the monthly child support, you still need money to support yourself and the children as well. Besides, you need to be financially secure in case of any emergency and there’s nobody else you can turn to but yourself.
You don’t really need to have a job that lets you earn huge amounts of money. As long as you are earning an amount that can let you you’re your family’s needs as well as be able to save some, then you are good to go.
Are you getting anywhere with your present job?
This is one question that you should ask especially if you are one who is big on promotion. Besides, nothing boosts monthly earnings, self esteem and confidence the way a promotion does. If you can see that your present job makes room for future promotions, then stick with it. But if it does not, then you might want to consider other job options.
Does it allow you to spend time with your children?
Never ever forget your children. They may be the main reason why you are working now, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you allow your job to take away your time with them. Your children are already separated from one parent, so do not complete the story by spending less time with them, too. If your present job makes you spend more hours in the office than at home, then it’s time to re-evaluate things.
You don’t have to totally change your job. Ask your boss what support they can provide with this. Most progressive employers will take family into account and be supportive. Maybe they could reassign you to another area where you do not need to spend a great deal of time at the office. Or they could allow you to work some days from home. Many offices have incorporated a daycare on their premises. If after you have evaluated your career you feel that you must continue to work in your present job even if you don’t enjoy it, but the pay is good…then stay!
