Want To Find A Job You Love?
Get insights from J.T O’Donnell, CEO of CAREEREALISM & CareerHMO. This article was featured at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jtodonnell
With more than 70% of the working population claiming to be dissatisfied with their jobs, it’s clear finding a job you love isn’t easy. A large part of the problem lies in the fact people “lust” after a good job instead of putting the energy and focus into finding true love. Does this sound like you?
- You’re totally focused on the company’s image and employee benefits.
- You’re interested in getting hired because you know people will be impressed.
- You’re focused on the pluses of working there, not the real work involved.
On the flip-side, when you love a job, you are more likely to do this:
- You envision spending more time there than is required.
- You get lost in conversations about the work and forget about the hours passing.
- You listen carefully so you can exceed expectations.
- The work makes you feel like a better person.
- You want to get to know your teammates better and see them as potential friends.
Still, the question remains: What does it take to find a job you love?
Sound out J.T O’Donnell at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jtodonnell for some insights to this question.
Some of the insights that are striking in this article are:
Switching Jobs Will Only Make History Repeat Itself:
- “Going to a new company will mean you’ll need to start over impressing people. It won’t get easier to manage your health, it will get harder. You don’t want history to repeat itself.”
- “Jumping from job to job and feeling unfulfilled is a real career confidence killer”
- “Never assume your career is to blame for an out-of-whack life. When you spend time assessing your professional self, you will get clearer in your priorities, strengths and preferences. When you are informed, you are more empowered to take control to find the career success and satisfaction you want and deserve!”
