18 signs that it's time to start looking for another job by John Rampton on Aug 26, 2016, 11:16 AM Advertisement
 The alarm clock goes off bright and early on Monday morning. What's your reaction? Are you ready to tackle the day head-on? Or do you hit the snooze button and dread getting out of bed? If you're experiencing the latter, then it may be time to reevaluate your life and find out what's the catalyst. In most cases, you may find that the lag is work-related. Maybe that explains why it's normal for people to have four job changes by the time they're 32. But how can you be certain that you need to make a career change? You can start by looking out for these 18 signs: SEE ALSO: We asked, you answered — here are 27 more moments when you realized you needed to quit your job 1. You're always bored While there are some advantages to boredom — it can help boost creativity and make you more goal-oriented — if you're spending the workday playing games, shopping, daydreaming, or looking at the time, then obviously you're not doing the type of work that excites or challenges you.
2. You're constantly left out in the cold There could be a couple of reasons why you're consistently not being invited to team meetings or social events outside of the workplace, as well as kept in the dark about the latest business happenings. For starters, you haven't been able to find a clique. While having friends shouldn't be the main reason why you love your job, it definitely makes the workday run a lot more smoothly when you have a workplace buddy. Just think how much Pam and Jim made enjoyable for each other in "The Office." Another reason could be that your boss or colleagues don't value your input and insights. When people aren't listening to your two-cents-worth, it's easy to understand why you don't feel like a valuable member of the team.
3. The work doesn't come naturally You see this all the time in the workplace. You have the one employee who is unstoppable. In fact, they're so productive and skilled at their job that they make everyone else look bad. Then you have the employee who is struggling to keep up with deadlines and understanding even the simplest of tasks. Does this mean that one is smarter or more driven than the other? Not necessarily. The one employee is playing to their strengths, so the work just comes naturally. You, on the other hand, don't possess those same skills. Eventually, your success and job satisfaction will go completely out of the window.
