Career Q&A: Should you leave a good job to find a great one?
Posted in Career Advice Career Change Economic Crisis on April 19, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Q: Right after graduation in 2007 I got a job working full time in the office of a small local company that is well known and respected in my community. While the position itself had nothing to do with what I studied and I knew it would eventually bore me, I needed the immediate income and health benefits as my parents could no longer support me. I intended to stay for about a year and half and then move on.
Mentally and emotionally, it is now time for me to move on but I don’t know how wise it is to leave a secure job right now. I also don’t know how I could network, explore career and/or graduate school possibilities, and seek a new job without my current (well-connected) employer hearing about it until I am ready to talk with him. I’ve grown close to my co-workers and I truly respect the owners of the company and don’t want to damage those relationships. Any advice on how to find a new job while you have a full time job (and appropriate etiquette) would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review this comment.

The February jobs report came out on Friday and it was bad — even worse than expected. If you’re graduating this spring, or have recently graduated, you’re probably pretty frightened.
I absolutely understand we are in deep economic trouble, but I also know that there are opportunities available for young professionals who are smart, hardworking and willing to go the extra mile. PricewaterhouseCoopers has the same attitude. I’m currently working with PwC on a national project to help students and recent grads to “recession-proof your job search.” A few weeks ago I provided ten tips and a video on PwC’s website, and now we’re expanding the resources available to make sure you can find all the help you need to get a job.
