    You begin to address that trapped feeling the moment that you have the talk with yourself about who you are, your purpose and where you're going in... your life-career. Successfully transitioning begins with taking inventory and that includes making an assessment of the value you can bring to a job in the field you wish to seek work in. From that point, you can formulate your approach and specific strategies for making the transition. Be intentional. You may for example, decide to expand your network to include some key job contacts. Once you're on a first name basis, you might have a coffee chats with these contacts in order to acquire an insider understanding of the work you're seeking and how to get on the hiring track with company A, B or C. (this is for those with a career perspective versus someone simply seeking "a job".) more

  • Keep on trying until you get one that is peaceful and less stressing if you are after peace at a workplace.

  • Go to a college or university or a career center. Take the asvab and see where you're strengths are best suited. Good luck. Most people outgrow... their job and employers may not care if you go. more

  • Look for another job. When you find it, quit.

  • Hang in there as you look for something else, unemployment may be worse than your current job stress, stats have it that about 10-32% of people don't... love their jobs anyway, most people wake up to go to work to pay bills. Good luck bro. more

  • Look for another job to have something to fall back on besides quitting cold turkey. Life can be even more stressful not being able to pay for your... basic human necessities. Some people look at their job as a mission for working for the Lord. There could be a divine purpose in your situation. Maybe you need to cross paths with someone and that experience ultimately saves their life or yours. Pray and seek God.  more

  • Thank you all for the advise and guidance, i really appreciate

  • I was laid- off from the job I had and enjoyed ( the economy went flat )
    I got a job right away ( very lucky) which wasn't perfect but it paid the... bills Until I found the job I was looking for took about 4yrs unfortunately. My advice is if you can stick it out at your present job and apply for every job you see that you thin you might enjoy. Blitz the want add and apply to companies that aren't advertising you may just apply at the right time. GOOD LUCK more

  • Wanting to quit sounds appropriate, but actually quitting without another job, unless you have a lot of savings is not wise. Start looking for... employment elsewhere.

  • Before stress and burn you've gained enough experience. Since you've stated that they haven't appreciated you, maybe you could have shed some light if... other colleagues in the same company have passed through same situations as yours I could advice accordingly. However,change is as good as a rest. Therefore look for a job elsewhere,remember lack of motivation is always a recipe for employees turnover.  more

  • Your mental health and life/work balance are priorities! Now that you have clearly defined what is not working in that environment, define what you... need. Then look at things you are passionate about. Ask God to guide you, search, and apply. When a door opens, resign and please give yourself 7-10 days off before you start the new opportunity. Keep feeding your spirit with positive things, rest, recharge, and have some fun. Praying you move through this experience and embrace what's next! more

  • No job is worth your mental health. Look for another job. Also there is the FMLA that can be used if you are having a difficult time and need to get... help. Nothing is worth loosing your mental health over more
