Going for new job

I’ve been unhappy in my job / or rather I like what I do but shortly after receiving a good rating last year, my manager felt I needed to improve my line management skills due to a certain % I got on scores from a questionnaire. This %!was not mentioned as a pre- requisite prior to last years review and so she felt she couldn’t give me a bad rating yet in the same breath said it wasn’t my fault due to x, y and z but had time to improve this year. Expecting the results of this years soon so starting to get nervous. Truth is my confidence is shot to bits due to this and I feel v demotivated. There is a new role as head of a group in another company which I’d interviewed before and did quite well but didn’t get it as they downgraded the role. I am now in talks with them again but now due to self doubt with all this feedback I am wondering if I can do it. Yet I feel in such a rut and think I need to break free from the culture I’m currently in as it’s not suiting me anymore. I did apply for 2 other jobs and got offered them but didn’t take them.

Why didn't you take one of the other jobs?

I sympathise with you, it's hard to job search when you aren't feeling confident and are desperate to get out. Keep working on your mindset.

What support are they giving you to achieve the required standard?

Reasons were:

One job was a pay cut and a bit of a gamble
Other job offered oodles of cash that seemed too good to be true but I’d be the only one in Europe to build up operations
Lack of confidence at time
Company also being taken over so maybe some benefit from that re shares, redundancies whatever

Both weren’t great in sick leave, no pension etc. I was lucky as then broke my ankle so had to take significant time off work. Looking again now but want it to be right and not a knee jerk reaction
