Appreciate the Job You Have While You Wait for the Next Opportunity

Most workers know it isn't easy finding that ideal job, so you settle.  I know how that feels to go into a workplace everyday that you don't like and it doesn't like you, but somehow you figure out a way each day to find something about it you do like and before long a week becomes a month and a month becomes a year and so on and your still there.

Maybe for you, your positive affirmation everyday has something to do with how close the location, how great the money and bonuses are, or how nice the cafeteria and workers are.  But whatever you find good about your current employment, hold on to that until a new opportunity comes your way.  I tell you, you will appreciate your upcoming job much when you are coming from a place that you don't like.  You will find you are getting up early, showing up early, smiling more, and overall feeling good about yourself.  Your family will notice a difference in your personality, and who knows, they might even start acting more positive as a result.

Know that the job you have right now is leading you to greener pasture if you can just "stand" it a little longer!  If you're job searching right now, keep doing it, while learning more about the latest trends in your industry.  Also, keep in mind that it is only a matter of time when you will get that call or email asking you to come in for an interview, so be prepared.  Be sure you have your best work attire reserved for that time, a back up plan to be sure you have no distractions on the day of your interview, and also great answers to those job interview questions.

To your success!

"We’re not all born with a desire to get THAT job and some of us struggle to work out what career would suit us. People with jobs they enjoy aren’t just lucky, they have just worked out what works for them – and then they’ve gone for it.
