Is it a cultural or leadership issue, financial, something else or your career ambition?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Often individuals start to explore opportunities outside their current organisation without thoroughly exploring career options where they are. Have that discussion with your line manager, or depending on the size of the business, the MD\/Owner.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You don\u2019t need to threaten to quit but have an open honest discussion about your career ambitions or particular frustrations and see if together you can produce a solution and a plan moving forward. Often minor frustrations can be sorted out and a solution reached!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If you have had the discussion and there is no foreseeable options or solutions internally then it may be the best option to start considering a new role externally.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s always good to seek confidential advice or counsel at this stage to help gain clarity on why you\u2019re looking and what you are looking to do (an experienced and trusted recruiter or a respected business person can be very helpful).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. What are looking for in a new role and company that you can\u2019t get with your current organisation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.What do you enjoy doing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4.What are you good at?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>5.Where would you add most value going into a new organisation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>6.How flexible are you on location?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>7.What are your salary expectations \u2013 are they realistic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>8.Have you discussed a potential career move with your family or partner?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Moving companies can be stressful and depending how long you have been with a company, emotionally it can be an upheaval. It\u2019s a balance between getting support and the question of what if? Sometimes a fear of change holds people back from making a career move and they end up settling for the status quo.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Once you have concluded that you want a career move you then need to come up with a plan on how to explore opportunities in the market and find a suitable role and organisation. Speak with a trusted advisor and specialist recruiter in your niche market, who can discuss career options, give market intel, honest feedback and agree a strategy to help moving forward.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Right International\u00a0are market leading recruiters to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightinternational.com\/loss-adjusting\/\">Loss Adjusting<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightinternational.com\/sectorwework\/claims-management\/\">Claims<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightinternational.com\/mga\/\">MGA<\/a>\u00a0and wider \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightinternational.com\/broking-and-underwriting\/\">Insurance<\/a>\u00a0market.<\/p>\n<p>If you are considering your next career move please contact\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightinternational.com\/considering-a-career-move-8-questions-to-ask-yourself\/mailto:garypike@rightinternational.com\">myself<\/a>\u00a0or one of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightinternational.com\/considering-a-career-move-8-questions-to-ask-yourself\/mailto:jessicapower@rightinternational.com\">team<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Follow us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/right-international\/\">LinkedIn<\/a>\u00a0for regular industry updates, leadership articles and latest vacancies.<\/p>\n<p>Take care, all the best.<\/p>\n<p>Gary<\/p>\n<p>Gary Pike, Founder &amp; MD Right International<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3267 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Gary-updated.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"103\" height=\"117\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re a CEO looking for your next move or a first jobber considering your career options it is important to gain clarity of thought and what\u2019s important to you.
