Can't Get No Job Satisfaction

In this blog I will discuss what your approach should be for your job when you despise it. First of all I would hope that no one has a job that they despise. Especially when most of us spend more time at work than we do with our own families. However, the sad reality is that many people who are employed are not satisfied with their job.

Approach

No matter what you should always approach your job with professionalism. Your employee performance or lack of will follow you in your career. Be proactive and handle the tasks that you like least, so that they are handled without you having to be reminded by a supervisor to complete them. Make sure that you handle all your responsibilities and keep a journal of how you dealt with difficult situations. This will help when you interview for your next job.

Attitude

Your attitude can be difficult to manage even if you are the most mature employee. It is easy to feel that the job, the people, and its policies are the cause for your poor attitude. But the bottom is that you are in control of your attitude. You can make the choice to be happy or to bitterly suffer at a job that you despise.

Atmosphere

After you make the choice to be happy then do things to spice up your work atmosphere. If you have a desk, or your own space organize it or decorate so that it cheers you up. Bring in pictures of your family, your favorite sports team, or something that is important to you. If you don't have your own space then just meditate or pray in the space that you occupy. This should give you strength and help you feel renewed.

Alternative

Most of us are not working for the love of what we do. We are working to pay the bills. So when you look at it from that perspective the job you despise may not be that bad after all. If you didn't have that job you might not be able to pay your bills which would lead to another scenario that you could despise.
