You Don't Have to Hate Your Job
By Michele Fawcett-Long, Career Coach, Career True North
Feeling Stuck in Your Job?
You’ve been there for a while now – feeling stuck in a job that you don’t like. You’ve tried to find your way out, but everything you’ve tried hasn’t worked. Maybe you’ve made a move but ended up in the same kind of role as the one you just left. Or you’ve read career change books and taken personality tests, but haven’t been able to make headway. Or perhaps you’re thinking that the economy doesn’t seem good enough for you to make a move. You feel like you’re stuck.
But there’s hope. You don’t have to hate your job. You can absolutely find a career that fits.
But how?
You probably already know the basic career-finding process ~
- Take a deep look at who you are and your passions
- Look for jobs that might fit who you are
- Plan your move to your next career
Simple, right? But . . . Arrrrrrrrrg!!
It's OK. Start at the Beginning.
Start with Step 1 – Who you really are. It’s absolutely crucial.
If you aren’t clear about who you are and what really interests you, then the next two steps simply won’t work. You’ll likely end up in another job that still feels wrong.
To get you started with Step 1, I’ve put together a free guidebook that will lead you step by step to clarity about who you are, what lights you up, and what you want to offer.
You can download your Career True North guidebook, Tracking Your True North Career Passions. The guidebook will lead you into a deeper understanding of your personal passions, and you’ll know what you love and who you really are.
And once you’ve gotten clarity about who you are, use your guidebook results to identify jobs that truly fit. You can wake up in the morning looking forward to your day. The guidebook may be all you need to find your new career direction.
