By the time you realize you have outgrownyour job it is usually too late and your employer is making the decision for you. Learn how to recognize the warning signs to improve where you are or get prepared for change.

当你意识到工作似乎无法给你带来发展时其实已经晚了，你的雇主已经在帮你做决定了。学着提前认识一些警示信息，提升自己也为变化做好准备。

1. You have a decreased level of job engagement.

你工作的投入度在降低。

If you have stopped or reduced spending your discretionary work time on activities that might improve your job performance or other aspects of your organization, such as working on a research and development project or a fundraiser your company supports, then you might not be interested in your job as much as you have been in the past.

如果你工作时间不再愿意或者是越来越少花时间在那些可能提高你工作表现的事情抑或公司其他部分，比如从事某个调查、发展计划再或者你公司支持的资金筹募人，那么也许你对工作的兴趣已经在慢慢减少了。

2. You’re not taking informed risks anymore.

你不再承担合理化风险。

Informed risks are not crazy risks; they are the risks which you believe have some potential of being successful. You now take a more cautious approach to projects and activities than you did before. This behavior can restrict your personal growth. Instead of signing up to help with that new project you waste most of your time talking or worrying about is, and you get stuck in the “What ifs”.

合理化风险不是疯狂冒险，你是有潜力去成功克服的。和以前相比，你现在似乎对计划和活动更加小心谨慎。这种做法本身就会限制你的发展。与其去签署你花大量时间谈论担心的新项目，不如让自己放手一搏。

3. Your work feels routine and boring.

你的工作已经模式化且枯燥。

Routine work is defined by the Task Quotient assessment, a test that provides managers and individuals the ideal percentage of personal work task preferences (routine, trouble-shooting and project) to maximize motivation and job satisfaction, as highly predictable work with an immediate required need for completion. With routine work you are just going through the motions, tasks are on autopilot. An example could be working on a new project that would have once excited you now has lost any emotional spark. If you don’t enjoy routine work, then a job change may be in order.

模式化工作是任务系数评估提出的理念。这项提供给经理和个人的测试，包含了个人工作任务喜好最佳百分比（模式，困难和项目）来最大程度的激励个人以带来工作的喜悦，同时也被认为是高效完成工作的急需品。在模式化工作下，你只是过个场完成一系列活动，任务都是排放好的。曾经能让你兴奋的诸如开始新的项目现在却让你丝毫无感。如果你并不享受模式化工作，那么跳槽也许可以纳入考虑范围了。

4. You have a decreased pace of personal learning.

你学习的劲头越来越小。

Concentrate on continuously learning new things that are important to your job. Doing this will increase your value to your organization and to yourself. If you keep expanding your skillset, you will find yourself able to move up in your current organization —or another one. Finding activities that keep you feeling energized and interested so you can feel accomplishment are paramount to your growth. Sometimes most of these may be happening outside of your job, watch for the signs.

不停的学习新知识对职业发展极为重要。学习能提高你对公司的价值以及自身价值。如果你一直在扩大自己的技能，你会发现自己能够在公司升职-或是跳槽更好的职位。找那些能让自己充电感兴趣的项目，这样才会有一种成长的满足感。很多时候，大部分学习都来自于工作之外，所以细心留意那些讯号吧。

5. Your co-workers or others in similar positions are out-pacing your performance.

你的同事或其他同职位的人表现优于你。

Colleagues are starting to get more recognition, or standout from you in other ways more often than they used to. This can feel discouraging and can further distract you from your job. When you first started were you a rising star? Lots of kudos? Then slowly what was commonplaceis now the exception? It may be a good time for a change.

同事似乎获得更多的认可，或者是比以往露出更多的闪耀点。这的确让人沮丧，也会进一步让你分心。但一开始工作的时候你是新起之秀么？很多的荣耀？慢慢的这些习以为常的夸奖变成了额外的光荣？好吧，也许是时候跳槽了。
