  Is Now the Time to Jump Ship?
Take This Quiz and Find Out

 
 
 

Almost everyone considers resigning at one time or another.

If you're like most people, at some point in your career, you simply may no longer be a good match for your current job. Even if you are, personality conflicts, downsizings or other factors might lead you to consider switching companies.

Whatever the reason, a time comes when the decision needs to be made: Should you leave your employer or should you stay?

If you're not sure of your best move, take this self-test. It requires you to examine facts about your current job situation and your attitude that you may not be aware of. The evaluation that follows may help point you in the right direction.

-- Mr. Krantz is the Chicago-based author of "The Job Finder's Guide" (Barricade Books, 2002), from which this article was excerpted.
