Whenever there is an opportunity to start over or make a new beginning, everyone is confronted with a simple question: is this right for me?It is advisable not only to keep a cool head in to situations, but also to listen to your heart and your gut 3. Can I use my competences and experiences?Does this task excite me and will it difference me the opportunity to develop?Do the corporate culture and the environment appeal to me?What impressions do I have of my colleagues and can I imagine working with my new boss?

Finding responses to these questions requires courage. The courage to face up to what you believe in: to motives and incentives, The courage to heed and follow up The warning signals that usually appear very early on. Ultimately, it calls for The courage to make an intelligent assessment and, if The towns are green, The conviction to go for it.
