<p>Thanks David. It is really hard to make a change after 8.5 years. Really, really hard. Sometimes, you just need a little nudge. </p>

<p>Great article Will. This definitely rang true with my own experiences with my last firm. After 8.5 years I was almost too comfortable and each one of these points hits home. Thanks for sharing.</p>

<p>Hi Suzanne, thank you for your response! Motivated candidates are what all recruiters look to find. I wrote this to motivate the candidate to do something about their current situation if they are unhappy. All too often, people complain about their current job and they can't seem to find the time to really enjoy life. You are correct by saying making a change is difficult, and often times when a candidate makes a change they feel lost and will complain. Sometimes it takes making a change…</p>
<p>Hi Suzanne, thank you for your response! Motivated candidates are what all recruiters look to find. I wrote this to motivate the candidate to do something about their current situation if they are unhappy. All too often, people complain about their current job and they can't seem to find the time to really enjoy life. You are correct by saying making a change is difficult, and often times when a candidate makes a change they feel lost and will complain. Sometimes it takes making a change to appreciate what they had or maybe they will find the job they were dreaming about. It is a risk, but at least they tried something. As recruiters, we can't do much with the unmotivated candidate. They need to motivate themselves, then we can help.</p> Interesting points..I've been…tag:recruitingblogs.com,2012-12-04:502551:Comment:16287642012-12-04T15:57:15.417ZSuzanne Levisonhttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/SuzanneLevison
<p>Interesting points..I've been in the recruiting industry long enough to (many times) identify those candidates who aren't ready or willing to make a change, even though he/she would be the perfect match for a client's open position..it's not my job to help anyone, but more to find a motivated candidate for my client.. There are some who are just fine where their career paths have taken them, would complain endlessly about a new position,..</p>

<p>Hi Lisa- thanks for the comment. I think all of us know someone in a "career wheelchair". My suggestion is to do everything you can to better your current situation first. If it is a no win situation though, it is better to make a change than be miserable. At the very least, give it a try. The only person you have to blame is yourself if you stay in a bad situation. </p>

<p>I have a friend and former colleague who fallis into this category. She has been whining for the past 5 years that there is nowhere to go in the company, she was finally promoted and is now complaining that the role is too confining. I've sent job leads and offered to help with her resume (which she has not updated in 5 years). It may be a case of complacency or lack of motivation, but I find a lot of people who are 'looking' for a new role fall into this category. I am also amazed when…</p>
