I would say that while you have enjoyed your current company and role, and learned a lot. You feel you will learn even more by changing organizations and seeing how things work in a different environment. You are looking for a company with a different pace, with more energy....etc.  \n\nTalk about your career aspirations and how the prospective company fits into your dreams, goals and plans.

It depends, why do you want to seek a new job?  \n\nIf you have a habit of switching jobs often (every few months) then you might just want see why that is?  Are you being too picky about the job? Or, do you not get along w/ people at your job?  If its something that you're doing, like being defensive or something like that, then try to change your behavior to see if that helps any. \n\nIf you want to change jobs because you don't like the environment and you don't see yourself learning anything or advancing anywere then I suggest you look for another job.  \n\nI would definitely keep the current job until you find something else.  And just remember, you will have to give a reason for why you left so try to make it a good one.

Is the boss complimenting you on your performance?\n\nAre you getting along well with your co-workers?\n\nAre you happy in your job and do you feel that you are doing your job to the best of your ability?

I have done this once. I made it short, simple, and to the point. \nI told my employer at the time, " I absolutely love working for you, but it's time for me to move on." I explained that I had an amazing opportunity working in the field in which I had only dreamed.  Not only did it pay for more; it was better for me, and my family.  He was truly saddened by the news.  I finished out my last days with no problem at all.  I even trained my replacement.  I made sure she knew exactly what to do, and even wrote down every thing step by step for her.  \nIt was bitter sweet.  But I knew that I could always come back If I ever need a job.

I can relate to jumping from job to job.  I realized it's because I hadn't figured out what I really wanted to do.  Circumstance led me to my career, so I would change companies thinking the problem was with the situation at the company.  Sure enough, after awhile, I would feel dissatisfied again.  It is amazing that you recognize this now.  \n\nThere are a few ways to make a transition.  Becaue oil companies are large, you could look at different jobs within the company.  You could also assess the types of skills you use for your job (i.e., scheduling, coordinating, logistics, communicating) and look at what other types of jobs use these skills.  As you've identified, you can continue upgrading your education.\n\nWhat I would highly recommend is first figuring out what you want to do.  What do you LOVE to do?  What gets you excited?  Then think about what types of careers may allow you to do this.  If you need help with this, post another question ;).\n\nThen, you will need to assess how to transition to what you are passionate about.  Can you first make an industry change?  Is it education/training you need?  Can you do a job change?  It might not be instantaneous, but view each step as getting you closer to where you want to be.  \n\nIn the meantime, appreciate that you are good at what you do and that you have a good company.  This is the ideal situation to be in while you assess what you want to do for a career.

If you're unhappy with your job, do everyone including yourself a favor and start looking for alternatives. For example, if the company is moving to a place where more jobs are available, perhaps you could make the move with them, then discreetly find another job.\n\nBest of luck!

Do what you feel is right. Aside for the salary increase, I believe you'd need a new work environment as you already mentioned your dissatisfaction with your present work. Go for it and just be glad you have such choice. :)

take some time to think about how happy you really are with your job and where your career is taking you. if you feel like you want to try something else, go for it. you can always come back to a similar job in that field but you will never know if youre missing out on something you would love if you dont try!

When you no longer challenged or learning, or there is some other issue that outweighs the benefits of your job.\n\nThe first thing I would try is making changes with-in my current job, that will make it more fulfilling.  If making changes, like volunteering for new and challenging tasks, does not improve your outlook about your position it is time to move on.\n\nUnless your sanity is at stake or you have a large amount of savings, you should have something lined up when you leave your job.

would you stay or would you ask for a raise?

Depends on the situation. Always be honest about why you are leaving. Be as honest, but put a positive spin, on answering the questions of prospective emloyers.

If you can avoid the reason for leaving that would be ideal. Otherwise, explain to the interviewer that you were "leaving for advancement potential", "leaving to work closer to home", "leaving for a better work environment", or "leaving for a career change".

Type up your two weeks notice. Remember to state how wonderful it was to work their and how much you enjoy being their. Tell them you would love to stay, but you have recieved a job offer you can just not refuse. They should be very understanding. Heck , if it is that bad, they may ask where you are going and if you would keep them in mind. I used a similar strategy when I left my last job. They asked me "What can we do to make you say? Would a $2/hr increase keep you here?" That is the response I got. I left that job just before it shut down with a few good references, both typed and in word. Good luck

First of all are you really ready for a change? And is money the only factor you look for in an employment opportunity.\n\nAlso, think about this: Would you truly be satisfied if you made more money?\n\nYou should really think long and hard about what you want to accomplish on a new job before you leave your present one.\n\nWhen you figure out the answers to these questions you are ready to make a change......

Appreciate the chance to help you.  I have been in this situation before.  Here is what I did: \n1 - Explain your situation to your new potential employer. \n2 - Ask the potential  employer if they would be willing to schedule your interview during your lunch hour. \n3 - Ask them if they would be willing to interview you during after-hours.  I had one employer who actually suggested that first.  When I told them that I had to go home to change (because we had a jeans-casual day) they told me to come to the interview in my jeans!  I got the job with a huge sign-on bonus.  Never hurts to ask. \n4 - IF they are an employer who provides services during night or early morning hours, they may be able to interview you at those times - just ask.  \nIf you need help on the best dates to apply for a job, send a resume, seek a promotion, etc., visit  http://www.AstroWishes.com
