One of the other things I just don't get is staying in a job you hate. Now in real life; how much sense does that really make? Statistically, we spend more time at work than we do our homes but yet so many people I talk to actually hate their jobs. I don't get it. It's like saying: You know, I love being miserable so I am going to stay in a place that really fulfills my need for misery. Stupid. Example: I was talking to a realtor the other day that needed some help. Her results were suffering so I asked her to tell me what she liked most about her job. Her reply: I really don't like real estate and I hate selling. Hmmm. And I wonder why her results are suffering?
I know it's a tough economy but still; that's no reason to stay in a job you hate. There are many wonderful jobs out there. And even better, there are many super jobs out there working for great companies that treat the employees awesome. Where are those companies and how do I get those jobs? Those great companies don't advertise for employees....they don't have to. Everyone wants to work for them so they are constantly getting great applications without even advertising. You get those jobs by networking! Ask people; pay attention; read; listen for those types of jobs.
Bottom line: Get out of the job you hate today. Find a job you love. Find a company you love. And when you do this, you will never work another day in your life. And that is something I do get!
