​Recognising the need for a change in your life is essential for personal growth and overall well-being. Here are five indications that it may be time to embrace a new chapter:

  1. Clock watching: When you're engrossed in meaningful and fulfilling activities, you tend to lose track of time effortlessly. However, if you find yourself constantly watching the clock and eagerly counting down the minutes until the day ends, it could be a sign that you're craving something more fulfilling and engaging.
  2. Experiencing the Sunday blues: While it's natural to wish for an extended weekend after an enjoyable time with loved ones, consistently feeling a sense of dread on Sunday evenings, accompanied by an overwhelming reluctance to face Monday morning, may indicate a deeper dissatisfaction with your current situation.
  3. Neglected social life: Feeling trapped or unhappy in your job can seep into other areas of your life, including your social interactions. If you frequently decline invitations to spend time with friends or participate in activities outside of work due to exhaustion, stress, or a lack of motivation, it might be a clear signal that a change is needed.
  4. Persistent frustration with colleagues: Interactions with coworkers can occasionally lead to frustration, but if these feelings become a regular occurrence, it could be an indication that your current work environment is no longer a good fit. Consistently experiencing discontentment or difficulty collaborating with colleagues suggests that a change of scenery might be beneficial.
  5. Escaping through bingeing: When confronted with unresolved issues or dissatisfaction, it's common to resort to distractions as a way to avoid addressing them directly. Whether it involves excessive eating, drinking, or binge-watching TV shows or online content, relying on these activities to escape from reality may indicate that you're using them as a coping mechanism rather than addressing the underlying problem.

If any of these signs resonate with you, it may be the right time to consider making a change in your life.

Genum Recruitment, a major supplier of talent to top real estate brands across the UK for the past 14 years, has embarked on a transformative journey. The company's evolution is marked by the internal promotion of George Burkitt, one of its longest-standing members, to the position of Partner. This pivotal change has spurred a comprehensive rebranding effort, encompassing a new company name, updated branding, and a revamped website. Zak James, the company's founder, expressed his enthusiasm: “After a significant restructure of the whole business, changing our name to James & Partners gives us the opportunity to recognise the talent within our business and send a clear message to our existing clients and the property industry at large that we are expanding.” George Burkitt has been a vital part of the business for over six years. His significant training and development have prepared him to be instrumental in the company’s future. Complementing this leadership, Alex Turnbull has recently joined the team, launching a new surveying desk and coordinating future operational strategies company wide. In his new role as Sales Director, George Burkitt remarked, “It’s an exciting time for the business. We have had a great start to 2024, and Q2 is looking strong with new clients and existing job demands. Our rebrand will help us further develop into financial and build markets where a lot of our focus is and also attract the top talent within the industry.” James & Partners, headquartered in London, has recently transitioned to a remote work model, allowing recruiters to work from home permanently. This shift is supported by three annual trips aimed at team building, a unique coaching system, and an extensive technology-based recruitment platform. Despite the recent criticism of remote work models, James & Partners believes that with the right support, communication, and software, a strong company culture that nurtures camaraderie and work/life balance can be successfully maintained. This bold move by James & Partners highlights their commitment to innovation and adaptability in a rapidly changing industry landscape.
