Whether you are looking for a new job or promotion, or wanting to change something in your personal life, the beginning of the year is logical time to start. To increase your chances of success, think about:
When The Going Gets Tough … The Tough Go To Work Anyway
I’m grateful to be working, but this job is not a good fit for my skills, and it doesn’t pay enough. Now my manager is hiring new people at a higher pay rate than me, and he won’t talk to me about a raise or a promotion. Obviously I’m looking for a better job, but it’s hard to go to work every day at a place that’s not a good fit for me. How do I keep from going crazy at a job I hate until I find a new job?
Need A Burst Of Motivation?
Usually I am full of energy this time of year. The warm – sometime hot – weather and the abundant sunshine naturally get my engines revving. Ian BrittonTypically, I’m busting with motivation to be more physically active, revitalize my social calendar, take on home improvement project, tackle a professional development project or learn something for fun. Not this year. It’s been unusually rainy and cold in the Twin Cities. I’m starting to wonder if spring will ever come … Instead of waiting for an external factor to motivate me, like the weather, it’s time to stop making excuses and rev my own engine, so to speak. Care to join me?
What Type of Person Are You?
If you choose a career path based only on what you know how to do (your skills), you are less likely to enjoy the job and more likely to get burned out. Find a job that you are good at and that uses your skills is important. However, wouldn’t you also like to find a job that you enjoy and that matches your personality? Take a few minutes to remind yourself of your likes and dislikes. Then look for career options that fit what interests you.
Which Will You Choose?
Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing, You get to choose. ~Dr. Wayne Dyer
