Matching Talents to Careers

Matching Talents to Careers – July 12

I’m looking for a better opportunity matching my Engineering background. In my current job, I can’t excel the way I want to.     

~ Worker Living in AUSTRALIA

 

Today, start looking for a better opportunity to match your background, education and skills.

Today, just start.

This is your life. 

This is your career.

Just do one thing.

Knowing Where We Are Going – July 11

My co-workers single me out. I feel like I’m stuck and going nowhere in life with this job.

~ Worker Living in TEXAS

Knowing that we are stuck is knowledge.

We are stuck.

We need to get unstuck.

This job has run its course; there is no more “there” there.

We just need to move on.

We don’t have to stay stuck we can make a move as long as we have an idea of the direction we want to go.

The Word 'Listen' Contains The Same Letters as the Word 'Silent'

Step 3 – July 10

My current job and boss are making me feel so miserable and useless.

It is a small company (three people), and having just moved countries it’s important to have human contact and meet new people.

I can literally go eight hours having only spoken to just my boss. He puts me down, asks me inappropriate questions or makes comments which are unethical.

He’s totally under paying me, does not know how to manage people or work and thinks that everyone he works with or for is useless.

Most nights I come home and cry, which is obviously affecting my relationship with my partner and my unhappiness is stopping me from going out there and meeting new people and having fun.

~ Worker Living in AUSTRALIA

Today, I will find one person in my life that I trust that I can talk to about my situation.

I will share with them what is going on at work.

I just need to get it out; hear myself talk about it.

P.S.

If you can’t find someone to LISTEN to you…then be SILENT…(hint: that means you’ll have to learn how to quiet the noisy chattering mind). Meditation Works.  There is a quiet place inside of you that will give you the peace, space and “knowingness” that you are looking for. 

It’s unfortunate, but true, that your family and friends may not understand your situation and talking to them might make it worse when they tell you: “it can’t be that bad”; when you know it is THAT bad.  

So, today find someone you trust to talk to or take 5 minutes to quiet your mind and be silent.

You Are Not A Loser – July 9

I am MISERABLE. 

I am suffering with depression.

I’m scattered brained, young, lost, damaged, lonely, no goals and a f*cking loser.

~ Worker Living in MICHIGAN

No, you are not a loser.

If you are young; and even if you aren’t young; if you have contemplated quitting (even if you don’t have another job lined up) you are WAY ahead of the majority of the people.

Most people stay stuck or move from job-to-job-to-job and don’t do anything in life that they want to do. So, you are far from a loser.

You are just waking up.

You are finally waking up to know that there is more to life than working a job that makes you miserable.

You are waking up to the real possibility that one morning you will wake up and WANT to get out of bed so you can make your contribution to the world.

Experience Along the Journey – July 8

I work in sales for a great company with great people and had hoped to have a long association with them. For over a year, I was the entire marketing team because there was no-one else in the roles of marketing, sales & events and despite the burden of it all, I did a good job. I have worked long, hard hours, given 100% loyalty, continuously learning and have achieved well.

A couple of months ago, they employed a new marketing manager who is a nice person but wants me to be his secretary and has taken away every aspect of sales from me and replaced it with mind-numbing admin i.e. typing up hundreds of lists – nothing else, just that.

He micro-manages everything I do like I’m an imbecile and blatantly times me when I use the lady’s room. Basically he does everything in his power to make my working life as miserable as possible. I tried talking to him about this several times and even approached other higher up, no-one is interested.

Promises that were made to me by the CEO about my future career have been broken. I’ve tried to make the best of it and tried to ‘manage’ my career but the situation is getting worse. I am constantly stressed and unhappy and for weeks have been actively looking for another job.

~ Worker Living in the UNITED KINGDOM

Sometimes we are in work situations where we feel used.

We feel like we have performed well, and we did, but we didn’t get the recognition or the promotion. 

We were overlooked. We were mistreated.

Count it as experience.  Count it as a catalyst.  Count it as information.

Experience, a catalyst and information about what you need to do next.

Just use it to propel you forward in the right direction for your journey.

P.S.

Once you have made the decision to “Just Quit” start focusing all of your energy on what is to come. Watch what happens…you’re in control and excited as you move towards “letting come”…

Taking Control of Our Careers – July 7

It’s a dead-end job and I’m not learning anything anymore. I’m getting fed up with the work and it feels like I’m getting depressed every day I go into work.

The Managers/Senior Managers are useless and don’t care about your career. To them it’s all about metrics and nothing else.

~ Worker Living in CANADA

Businesses are, well, businesses.

They are in business to make money. 

Managers are, well, managers.

They are there not only to manage you, but themselves and the business.

You have to care about your own career.

Maybe you can find a mentor, maybe not.

At the end of the day it’s your career and you have to take control of it.

No excuses. 

Today, just take action.

Creating Wealth – July 6

I’m feeling burned-out, having to juggle my full time job and being a voice coach on weeknights and weekends to earn some extra income and keeping the passion of teaching going.

I try to spend the remaining time I have with my sons and partner.

It’s taking a toll on my health now.

I’m also at the point where I don’t enjoy my work anymore.

I want to quit my full time job and teach singing full time, so I can have time flexibility and the possibility to create wealth according to how hard and smart I work.

~ Worker Living in SINGAPORE

 

Today, ask:

“What will allow me to create wealth according to how hard and smart I work?”
