There are times you look at the job you’re doing, or the work you’re looking for and you have doubts. You have doubts about whether or not it’s worth it. For those of you looking for work you need to stop and ask your self one question. “Is the job I’m looking for or wanting a career or a paycheck?” If it’s a career then all steam ahead and good luck to you. If it’s just a job then you may want to rethink what you’re doing. There is a saying that goes “Find a job that you love and you‘ll never have to work a day in your life.” This is sort of true. There are jobs that we take to make ends meet, but then there are jobs that let you get up in the morning with a smile on your face. So you need to ask yourself… What am I looking for in a job? What is it that makes me get out of bed in the morning happy, and how do I go about making it work for me?
Below list 10 things. 5 things you look for and 5 things that are deal breakers. Once you’ve made that list examine them. Are they truly deal breakers, or are they things that you can get around and just don’t want to? Are those 5 things the most important things or are they unreasonable request? As always, have a great day!
