Some Free Disease Knowledges

Career Management 101

March 19, 2008 – 11:10 pm

Does this sound like anyone you know?

o Not inspired to get out of bed and go to work
o Not enjoying the career progression and satisfaction that you’d hoped for
o Feel that you have more to offer, but not being asked
o Feel stressed and maybe even burnt out
o Bored and frustrated
o Feel underpaid and unappreciated

If this does sound like someone you know, then I have a question for you: How differently do you think that person would feel, if they had the skills and knowledge to change their situation? If they could improve their current job, or find a better job, do you think that they’d do it?

It is widely believed that the majority of the working population aren’t happy in their job. Whether that job is white collar, blue collar, the CEO, or the janitor, people have many and varied reasons for not enjoying their job, but the end result is the same — they’re not happy and they want to change their situation

Some of the typical reasons why people aren’t happy in their job are:
 Long hours
 Unrealistic expectations
 Constant pressure
 Corrosive relationships
 Feeling unappreciated and underpaid
 Don’t like their boss
 Health hazards
 Too much travel
 Don’t like the work

Any one of these reasons can lead to a decrease in motivation, inspiration, self-esteem and self-confidence, as well an increase in stress, frustration, animosity and poor performance

Many people feel completely lost when they suffer these feelings at work. They might continue to put up with being unhappy, because they don’t know how to go about improving their situation

There are 2 main avenues of attack to consider when you feel like this:
1. You look for ways to improve the job that you’re in; or
2. You look for a new job

As I stated earlier, these negative feelings can be suffered by the highest and lowest positions in companies. For example, you might be a junior worker in a manufacturing company, where your concerns are centred on workplace safety, being bossed around, and not enjoying the repetitive job content. On the other hand, you might be a senior manager in the company, who is feeling stressed about managing difficult staff, meeting unrealistic demands from head office, and the fear of being overlooked for a promotion

As I asked earlier, how differently do you think that person would feel, if they had the skills and knowledge to change their situation? What if they had information like this at their fingertips, to refer to anytime, and be able to use it consistently throughout their life?
