# 3 Signs It's Time to Change Jobs Career Junction Ad Campaign By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-09-12 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/change-jobs References: [mediame](http://mediame.com/image_media/print/career_junction_middle_east_agreement) & [tbwaraad](http://www.tbwaraad.com/) According to Career Junction, if your grocery lists, wardrobe plans or gardener's agreements look like these, it's time to change jobs. The three-part [ad campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monday-platform) inspires readers to change jobs by depicting different scenarios in which your talents might be wasted. In the first ad, a grocery list is illustrated with a ballpoint pen in stunning graphic design form. In the second ad, a graph plots the path of the percentage of different types of clothes (sweatpants, bikinis) as weight loss is achieved. In the third, a simple agreement between gardener and homeowner is executed in lawyer-like fashion, complete with legalese. Beside each ad, the tagline reads "Put your skills to better use." The Career Junction ad appeared in the Middle East and was devised by [TBWA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-ownership)/RAAD. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/print) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Job Dissatisfaction:** Career Junction's ad campaign highlights job dissatisfaction and encourages employees to consider changing jobs if their talents are being wasted. - **Graphic Design in Advertising:** Career Junction's ad campaign utilizes stunning graphic design to convey the message that it may be time for a job change. - **Creative Recruitment:** Career Junction's ad campaign serves as an example of creative recruitment tactics that can inspire businesses to think outside the box when attracting top talent. ### Who This Affects Most - **HR and Recruitment:** HR and recruitment professionals can use Career Junction's ad campaign as inspiration for creative recruitment strategies that promote job satisfaction. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Advertising and marketing professionals can look to Career Junction's ad campaign as an example of how graphic design can be used to effectively convey a message. - **Career Coaching:** Career coaches can reference Career Junction's ad campaign to help their clients identify signs of job dissatisfaction and consider alternative career options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [New Yorker-Approved Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-yorks-streeteasy.md) - [Discreet Career Change Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exareer-platform.md) - [Lazy Cereal Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-cereal.md) - [Cheeky Job Advertisements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ranch-hand.md) - [Interactive Recruitment Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recruitment-billboards.md) - [Imaginative Fantasy-Inspired Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canva-spotlights.md) - [Career Decision Dashboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perspectives.md) - [Juice-Branded Summer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/never-grow-up-campaign.md) - [Satirical Feminist-Forward Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underpaid-women.md)
