Consumer Corner: What to do if you hate your job

Consumer Corner: Finding a new job.

We tend to underestimate the amount of time we spend at work and its impact on our lives. There is the age-old desire for a good work life balance but often most people will find that in the evenings or at the weekends work can creep into their lives. It may not be a case of opening the laptop but it can be in our thoughts. That’s why it’s important to be happy in our jobs and if we are not then it could be time to do something about it. January and February are key times when people think about moving jobs. They are also key times for recruitment and there will be lots of opportunities out there for job seekers.
