What to do when you hate your Job.

Dear Adey.

Thank you so much for your blog. You are such a blessing to this generation.  I was so glad when i came across it. I think you might be able to help me. I am honestly tired of my job and right now i think i hate everything about it. I wish i could just quit but i need the money. I have weekly bills. There is nothing wrong with the job itself but i think i am just bored and need something new.  I have a very busy schedule so it is extremely difficult to make time to prepare myself for another job opportunity. What do you suggest i do?

Thank you

Hello B

Thank you for the compliments. You are one of the reasons why i stay devoted to this passion of mine. I am glad you found me and i am positive that i will be able to help you out with an advice or two

You already hate your Job so i think it may be hard to convince you to find a new passion within the organization so let me get straight to helping you make your way out of the door.

If you so much hate your Job and you need another Job then you need to make time for it. Your question doesn't state that you work 24 hours a day 7 days a week so i believe you have some time when you are away from your Job. You have to really look at your schedule and delete every unnecessary activity and make your job search the top priority. Thank God for internet so this can be done anytime of the day. No employer is checking the time stamp on your application as long as it falls within the deadline.

You really have to make time to search for your ideal job and prepare for it. Skip hanging out with friends if you have to. It is just for a short period of time. Searching for a Job is not all about sending out resumes. You have to put in the effort and work. You have to customized your resume to fit into the needs of the organization, that takes time so you have to make the time for it. You hate your job already so you need to do everything you can to change that situation.

Second, you need to figure out what you are really passionate about otherwise you are going to fall into the next job that you are going to hate pretty soon.  I understand that you are crunch for money but you can have money and love what you do all at the same time. Although this doesn't happen by chance. you have to be deliberate about it.  Take out time to discover what you love and what industry best fits into what you love. Research all there is to know and see if you have the needed skills to get into the industry. if you do not, then your next action must be to get trained in that field.
Training does two things for you. 1) it would make you get an offer letter and 2) it could help you get a better pay. Who doesn't need a better pay? I do and i know you do too.

Finally, Start saving. You may get fired before you think of quitting. I don't mean this in a bad way but it might happen if you don't quit early enough. Hatred is a very negative attitude that shows faster than love. Very soon, your supervisors will notice that you hate your job by the way you act. you will probably make mistakes and show very little care for the company and no employer wants that. so i suggest you start saving so that you can keep up with those bills that will show up regardless.

An extra final piece, You don't have to be in love with your Job but i will like you to change your attitude towards it. It is going to help you keep your Job till you don't want it anymore. It would be bad for you to get terminated from a job you hate only to find out the reason why you didn't get your dream job was because of the review you got from the last one.

I know this is not probably what you really want to hear but it is the truth and as my social media friend i choose to be the one to tell it to you.

Let me know if you need any help in discovering your passion. I can work you through the process.

Happy Holiday

Kind Regards

Adey
