In the past few years， many people found themselves trying really hard to hold on to jobs that they may not have wanted. 36 . Jobs data is improving， and the labor market seems to be picking up. Here are four signs that it might be time for you to move on.

1. You really hate the idea of going to work.

We all have days that we don’t want to go in to work. We may even dislike what we do for work. But do you really hate the idea of going in？ 37 .

2. You are concerned about the values of your boss and coworkers. 38 . However， if you find yourself questioning the values and ideals of those around you at work， it could be an indication that you are out of place. If you feel that you are not in line with your organization， it might be the time to move on.

3. You wish you had more challenging tasks.

For some people， easy work is preferred. 39 . However， you might wish for more challenging tasks. If you want to progress as a person， a job that doesn’t provide you with an abundant challenge can be disheartening. Now that the economy is a little more stable， you can look around for a job that offers more satisfaction.

4. 40 .

If you feel left out of the culture at work， it might be a strong indication that you belong somewhere else. You want to be in a work environment that you feel a part of. If you have been with an organization for more than a few months， and you still feel somewhat awkward， it might be a sign that you need to find an organization where you integrate(融入) into the culture a little bit better.
