Get Out Of That Shitty Job!
There’s absolutely no reason why we should stay in jobs that we hate. Life is way too short! If you dread going into work every morning and you feel like you’re slaving away, get out of there! Don’t waste your amazing energy on a job that you’re not passionate about. You’re not alone though; so many people stay in dead end jobs because they either don’t know what they want to do or they get way too complacent with their mediocre salary. But imagine the job you go to every morning is doing something that you would be doing for free anyway. Wouldn’t that be a dream?! We all have our passions and interests – tap into them! Here are our five tips for when you feel like a slave to the corporate world:
#1 – Make your skills known
What do you love doing? Become amazing at it! Whether it’s drawing, taking photos of buildings or knitting pillowcases – it doesn’t matter just show it off! It takes a minute to create a Facebook or Instagram page. How will you be able turn your passion into a paid income if nobody can see it?
#2 – Take the “work” out of work.
Think about your skills and hobbies. Do you love reading? Maybe you would be a good copy editor. Love drawing doodles on your notepads? Maybe a career in illustration? Love talking to new people? Perhaps PR is the job for you. There’s a career for every skill!
#3 – Think about what the job you want looks like
Think about all the details that you overlooked in your last job. Is your ideal job a place where you would wear a uniform, a suit or jeans? Do you want to work in an office all day or travel? Do you prefer structured environments or creative? Considering these things will narrow down the job hunt and you’ll feel a lot clearer about what you want to do
#4 – Evaluate your past
Think about your previous jobs. Think about the things you liked and disliked, what you found easy/difficult, what your accomplishments were and how you felt about the company culture. What did you find boring? It will help you look for the right environment and characteristics when you look for your dream job!
#5 – Go out and talk to people!
A lot of the time people find that they land their dream job (or are closer to finding it) when they least expect it. Go out, meet new people, talk to people and have some fun. You never know who you’ll meet so get out there and live your life!
Now let's put our excuses to bed and smash our dream job!
