Jacking in your job
Discussion
Just want to get this off my chest and nobody I know does job hunting like me!
About a month ago I got royally ticked off at work. Annoyance and disillusionment have been setting in for some time but this tipped me over the edge.
I did what I've never done before and reached out to a former colleague who now works for a competitor asking if there were any jobs going. There were and I've had two interviews and a job offer will be coming my way eventually.
However... since the second interview I've had an interview somewhere else for a slightly different job which is more to my liking.
I'm now waiting for the second lot to decide if they want to give me a second interview and stalling the first company.
Either way it's good to feel that, unless I manage to annoy one and be rejected by the other, I'll be moving on.

Good luck and hope the move works out for the better!About a month ago I got royally ticked off at work. Annoyance and disillusionment have been setting in for some time but this tipped me over the edge.

In a similar position myself where I've been pissed off for several months and am just about to make a decision about whether to leave. Current place is chaotic (as in bidding for (and then winning) loads of work without having the staff to perform the work, leading to a rushed recruitment process where we end up with staff who are crap and then need to be fired). We just keep repeating the same process and I've pretty much had enough.
Had a chat with a recruiter earlier in the year and decided to leave it for a couple of months to see if there would be any improvement. Guess it's time for me to dust off the CV!
