Feeling stuck in your career?

When your job hits a wall, don't let self-doubt, naysayers keep you from a new opportunity

Call it rusting out, hitting an impasse, or a drought of the soul. In almost every career, there will come a time when you grind to a halt or at least slow to a crawl. Your prospects seem shrunken, your drive at work and at home fizzles. You feel stuck.

In a world of instant results and custom-tailored anything, abundant choice can be paralyzing, says Nicholas Aretakis, a former high-tech executive turned career coach. "People are blinded by so much selection." The antidote is taking the time to know your skills so you're not job-hopping willy-nilly.
