The Ambitions Podcast is a weekly discussion about recruitment. Members of the Ambitions Personnel team explore a range of subjects from the latest changes in the recruitment industry to tips on how to retain and train staff.

This week, Gerrard and Paula discuss careers advice. How to plan your career, how to know when to change jobs, what to look for in a new job and more. Even if you know what you'd like your future to look like, changing careers prove a huge challenge, almost always resulting in some temporary loss of income. 

There are plenty of signs that could mean a career change is imminent. Monday morning dread, not wanting to get up and go to work, or becoming easily irritated and frustrated at work are two of the most prominent. It is, however, important to understand where that frustration lies. Is it the job itself the organisation you work in? If you make the decision to move jobs, it's important to make sure that it will cure your frustrations.
