1. ASK YOURSELF “what do I want in my career? How do I bring back the passion in my day job? Does my current role align with my overall career goals?” Be honest with yourself and list all your expectations. Be realistic and don’t overreach.
2. MAKE A LIST OF 10 THINGS  Put in writing the top 10 things you want to change about your current role. Evaluate whether these things can be group together to form 5 goals. Then assess whether you can achieve them in your current situation or if a new job is needed.
3. STAY IN THE KNOW Join a paralegal association or hire a career coach or do both to help you stay up on the industry’s changes. Do something to expand your skillset. Keep your mind energized. Sign up for a CLE – Look for ways to learn other techniques to handle some of your work tasks.
4. NETWORK Put yourself out there. Actively engage with your peers. Again, this is where membership to a paralegal association can help. Attend a monthly town hall meeting with one of your favorite paralegal associations. If you’re a lawyer, go where other lawyers go to get energized by other lawyers – the ABA.
