What is the problem(s)? Does it have to do with your job itself, e.g., responsibilities of your role, promotion potential and possibilities, compensation, or performance reviews?

Moving on is a process. It requires planning and constructing a bridge to the future. What are you looking for? Crystallize the answer to this question. Research different angles, job titles, responsibilities, companies, and industries. Update your\u00a0resume, and\u00a0consider developing several versions for the different types of jobs you are pursuing. Post a LinkedIn profile or revise the one you have.\u00a0 Check out recruiting firms, such as\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.creativecircle.com\/talent\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Creative Circle<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, and register with them.

Set up job alerts that go directly to your personal email on LinkedIn,\u00a0Indeed, and other sites. And on that note, ensure your personal email address is business appropriate; if not, create a separate one for job hunting.

Write templates for cover letters and interview thank you\u00a0notes, and\u00a0personalize them before sending. It may take a while to land the right offer, or not long at all.
