How to Change Jobs



career advice topics

An employee might want to switch jobs for career advancement, job lateral moves, and career development. Sometimes the change is not mutually beneficial and the employee is unwilling to negotiate. It is possible to negotiate with the new employer in these situations by explaining your strengths to your boss. They might be willing and able to assist you in finding a better job.

Jobs are changing for promotion, reclassification, career development and lateral moves

Reclassification can be described as the process where an employee takes on a new job or moves within the organization. This is generally the reclassification of a person's job title and duties. Reclassifications that are upwardly oriented result in an increase in responsibilities. Downward reclassifications results in a decrease of duties. On the other hand, lateral moves are a move to the exact same job code or department but within another organization.


You can move up the career ladder by making lateral moves. While your old boss will still be in charge, you'll have a completely new line of responsibility. Lateral moves give you new skills and opportunities to prove yourself and may even help you overcome boredom. As long as the company can offer you a new position with the same pay scale and title, lateral moves may be just what you're looking for.

The change may not be supported by the employees

You may be concerned about the contract's flexibility and have the right to refuse any changes. Any changes can be refused by protesting verbally or in writing. It is important to make it clear that any changes are temporary. Give the employer a reason why they have made this decision. You may be considered to have accepted the changes if you don't take action. In such a case, you should consult your employment contract carefully before accepting any changes.
