When is it time to start thinking about a new job ?Is it acceptable to switch jobs to work with a close friend ?Can you leave an employer after the two-week training period is up ?Should you stick with the same employer for over a year , even though you aren’t learning anything new? As with so many things in life , these are questions only you can answer. However , there are several considerations to take before you terminate your employment. The hiring process is costly and time-intensive , and your employer has decided that you are worth the effort. This is a big responsibility and privilege. While it doesn’t mean that you have to remain at a job for the rest of your life , you should be fair enough to give the employer at least a few months of your time. Get through the training , settle into a routine , and then decide. If you still don’t like it or something better comes up , you’ll at least know you tried. Perhaps your best friend just started at the counter of the local gym , and it sounds like fun. Maybe you found an opening for a job you’ve been wanting for years. It could just be that you’re bored and looking for something new. No matter what it is , however , make sure you take the time to weigh the pros and cons. Working with a friend might be fun for a while—until you both want the same Saturday off to go to the lake. The job of your dreams might pay less or offer fewer hours. If you’re bored , there’s a chance that another job might provide a temporary solution but not give you whatever it is you are seeking. You’re young , and the possibilities for your future are endless. While the teen job you have now isn’t necessarily going to map out your entire life , there’s nothing wrong with making decisions that will provide you with more opportunities later on in life. If you want to be a doctor , working at the hospital gift shop might be a better choice than flipping burgers. If you want to be a chef , the reverse is true. If your current job isn’t necessarily aligned with your future , you might want to consider switching jobs. No matter what you decide , remember that the longer you are at a job , the better it looks on your resume. An employer who sees that you switch jobs every few months might not prefer you over a candidate who was with his or her former employer for a year. For working teens , dedication and commitment always look good.
