Why "Toughing it Out" on a Bad Job Is a Bad Idea!
Why "Toughing It Out" on a Bad Job is a Bad Idea!
Let me take you, the reader of this article, to find out why "toughing" it doesn't work, unless......
1. You recognize that this is a great opportunity to know yourself at your best by keeping a journal; assessing your transferable skills; networking with your peers and others; and having a positive attitude no matter what.
2. You save money for your great getaway! You spend a moderate amount to get some new clothes; new places to visit in your immediate neighborhood, maybe a new restaurant; and books to help you map out your future.
3. Volunteer for little, extra tasks at your bad job, speak well of all, get to know your co-workers. If they are part of the "bad job", join in anyway, any way you can.
4. Plan, plan, plan, even in they don't always work. Plan C might be the one!
5. Plan a "going, going, gone" party with a time line.
6. Network in the best sense in giving to others who will remember you. Get their names & addresses. Ask for advice for your future.
7. Don't be bullied. You are splendid, didn't you know that?
