Finding a new job or taking on a new career often features at the top of a new year's resolution list. Many of us vow to start the New Year with a fresh challenge that provides us with a high level of job satisfaction and the chance to learn new skills. But people that simply move from job to job often find the cycle repeats itself after any given number of years and yet again they find themselves looking for a new role that offers those fresh career challenges.
