4 Positive Signs It's Time to Leave a Job
https://faithfulontheclock.com/how-to-know-its-time-to-leave-a-job
Most people will leave a job multiple times over their career. Episode 101 of Faithful on the Clock reveals some of the positive signals it’s time for you to move into a new role.
Timestamps:
[00:04] - Intro
[00:39] - Common signs others have covered that it’s time to leave a job
[02:34] - Whereas most people cover negative signs it’s time to leave, I want to share the positive clues it’s time to go.
[03:02] - Sign #1 — People keep recommending you for other things.
[04:03] - Sign #2 — You don’t have any confusion about the gifts and passions God has given to you.
[05:45] - Sign #3 — Little things line up in a way that make it hard for you not leave or act. THe story of Joseph in Egypt is a great example of how even negative things can accumulate for a good result.
[08:52] - Sign #4 — Your ability to serve the Lord and minister to others would go up.
[10:25] - How to take your exit from a job in a compassionate and respectful way
[12:21] - Signals to leave a job can be positive or negative, but always remember you represent Jesus right to the end.
[13:20] - Prayer
[13:59] - Outro/What’s coming up next
Key takeaways:
- Much of the guidance around quitting a job focuses on negative signs, such as poor compensation or a feeling of dread going into the office. But there are positive cues God has new plans for you, as well.
- Positive signal #1 — Others recommend you for other things because they believe in you, your knowledge, and your skills.
- Positive signal #2 — You have no confusion about what your gifts and passions are. As a result, you either have a clear sense of comfort in your job (the gifts and passions already match) or of being pulled away from your current role and into a new environment that matches the gifts and passions God’s given to you.
- Positive signal #3 — Many small things line up that make it hard to stay where you are or not to act. Those things might appear to be positive or negative as you experience them, but it should be clear that the result they collectively bring is good.
- Positive signal #4 — The new job in front of you would enhance your ability to serve God and minister to others.
- When you decide to go, taking your exit can be difficult. Conducting yourself in a way that maintains connections and offers forgiveness will demonstrate you are a follower of Jesus well.
- Paul and the Praetorian Guard – Theopolis Institute
CTAs:
- Analyze whether you see any of the signals mentioned in the show around your current job situation.
- Journal about what frightens and excites you about the potential for a new job. Identify the honest reasons you have stayed or want to go.
What’s coming up next:
When naysayers try to hold you back from going after your dreams and what God wants you to do, don’t quit. Episode 102 of Faithful on the Clock helps you deal with those people.
