      When we think about changing jobs, we turn to traditional career advice that focuses on skills, qualifications, and interviewing techniques. We tend to ask ourselves, "Do I want to move from a full-time to a part-time job? Do I want to leave my company and start my own business?" But this line of thinking doesn't get to the heart of the problem-whyyou've been so unhappy at work in the first place. What if, instead, we asked ourselves a different question- "What psychological needs aren't being met now that need to be met in my next job?" In Job Therapy, Dr. Tessa West helps you turn inwards to identify the psychological reasons why you are unsatisfied, whether you're having an identity crisis at work, your job has changed so dramatically you don't recognise it anymore, or you aren't receiving recognition for your contribution. Whether you've only just entered the workplace or considering your final move, Job Therapywill help you identify and land your best role yet, one that's deeply rooted in a clear sense of self.
