“I am quite happy with my current job and position, in fact, I am not interested in exploring other opportunities”
I think that many recruiters and head-hunters hear that often, maybe daily from people like you they reach out to, but is any of them telling you something against it?
“The Box in Box Isolation System” is the first that comes to my mind when I hear that. It was an old method (not sure if it is still used nowadays) to build rooms or spaces where acoustic isolation is the priority #one, such as in music recording studios for example.
Being happy at your current job or position is OK, but sorry, do you have any guarantee of keeping it the way it is making you happy?
Recommendations based on several pieces of research and studies show that an employee should not stay longer than 2 years at the same place having the same tasks to do.
Is there any space or possibility at your current job to grow or develop? If your answer was YES, then temporarily fine. But if your answer was NO, then what are you waiting for? Why are you still there?
Doing the same thing all these years, sinking deep in your comfort zone, killing your creativity, declining your productivity, not exploring the hidden skills inside you, going far away from pro-activity and activity, and becoming a passive person, where the world is running fast, leaving you behind happy inside your boxes!
Yes, I am saying even if you are happy and satisfied with your current job and position, go continuously search for jobs and apply! Go to the interviews, anyway, later it is always your choice to accept or refuse an offer!
If you don’t do that, how would you be able to explore the market? What does the market need? The hard and soft skills that your potential future employers are looking for?
How would you be able to know your value in the current market with real hard competition?
How would you be able to know about the changes in the interview and hiring processes?
When was the last time you learned something new? When was the last time you developed new skills?
Do you know that the next era will be the employee’s era?
Where would you like to be? Belonging to the low or the top valued?
This is not a message from a recruiter or a career consultant, it's from me, someone just like you!
If you realize the importance of this message/advice, then please share it as widely as you can!
