You want a job that makes you happy? Job satisfaction is comprised of a lot of factors but for you to be truly happy in your career, you need to focus on yourself - because your personal connection to the work is where the career passion comes from. So, where do you start? In order to find a job that makes you happy? You need to ask yourself ONE tough question…
Are you bored at work? Has it been a long time since you’ve actually been challenged on the job? There’s a reason. Sometimes you can be too comfy.
I'm not actually talking snuggies, yoga pants and comfy sox. Those things are awesome. I'm talking about feeling totally, yes too, comfortable in your career.
The 'devil you know' comfort is born out of fear. You stay where you are, doing what you're doing, because of fear of the unknown. Where you are might be crappy - but at least you know what kind of crap to expect... right?
Unless there's something on your horizon that gives your stomach the jitters and freaks you out just a bit... something that pushes you out of your comfort zone... you will always be *exactly* right where you are. That's fine... right?
There is a time and space that you get to where you know it’s time to leave your job but you also know that it's a safe place and the devil you know is better than whatever freaky, hypothetical, scaries are out there in the world.
How to get a job with no experience?
You have no experience in the job you want. Where do you even start? First off, whether you realize it or not, you most likely actually do have some great experience!
Remember you're not starting fresh. You worked. You gained experiences. You've gained knowledge. You know how to work with people, with teams, using skills you can take with you to your new role. This is your footing when you're networking. You're not a complete noob - you're coming into this as a professional person who's just looking to do a new type of task.
