However, with the economy still recovering and major companies still holding off employement drives, it has proved to be a little more difficult for some.
Sometimes quitting and changing isn't the best way to go. If you still have a good relationship with your colleagues, if you have a good relationship with your manager, then first, speak to them and find out exactly what is not working for you.
Then, look internally for opportunities. Companies like internal hires because it saves them advertising and recruitment costs, and they know you already know the ins and outs of the company, which saves them some training costs too.
However if the reason is beyond your happiness, if the cause of your pain is actually from your colleagues (workplace bullying for example), then perhaps it's time to look for a brand new job.

Remember, always consider your options before making the big move. If need be, at least have a job lined up so you are not stuck in a desperate financial situation.
