No one is immune to the feeling that their current job or work environment is lacking for new challenges and opportunities, and automotive industry workers are no exception. Being stuck in a rut is one thing, but writing off a whole industry in search of opportunities in other sectors is completely unnecessary.
In most cases, a lateral move, instead of a full-fledged industry or career change, will bring back your winning smile, while confirming your gut feeling that your lack of enthusiasm was related in most part to your former job or company. Contrary to popular belief, the springboard to your next exciting career opportunity may be only a mouse click away.
A lateral career move will also help you leverage the benefits of the current labor shortage that is sure to translate into increased wages and excellent career advancement opportunities. Your experience will be recognized and rewarded, instead of a new beginning at the bottom rung of the ladder in a new industry, which, as appealing as it may appear at first, remains unfamiliar.
In addition, the automotive industry continues to offer hundreds of new and exciting opportunities in Quebec and all across Canada. A simple job search may be enough to re-kindle your enthusiasm while proving to be very profitable. This may be your big chance to market your skills to dealers, aftermarket suppliers, or independent service providers that match your ambitions and values.
Just do it! The automotive industry offers unlimited and exciting opportunities for passionate individuals who wish to give it their all.
