5 Signs Your Job Isn't For You

1.You don’t have the motivation to get out of bed in the mornings

I get it, mornings are hard! But if you don’t have a passion to get to work and contribute your thoughts, ideas, and help others through your work… then is it really the job for you?

2.You don’t feel welcome and accepted

Getting a new job is rough sometimes. You realize that you are a small fish in a big pond. You enter a company where employees are already friends and you have found you don’t quite fit in with the others. If you often feel left out and misunderstood, then perhaps you should look for a job elsewhere.

3.You aren’t utilizing all you learned in school

You just got your degree and feel motivated with so much to offer, but your work only allows you to do the same things day after day. If you have more to offer and aren’t being allowed to contribute, you could be hurting yourself creatively in the long run.

4.You don’t feel passionate about the work you do

All jobs have pros and cons. You’ll always have little tasks that you don’t look forward to, but if you don’t care about any aspect of your current job, then find something you are passionate about and find a way to make a living doing it.

5.It’s affecting your personal life

Sometimes finding work/life balance can be a daunting task. But, if you hate your job so much that you’re taking your bad attitude home when you clock out each day, you could be affecting the relationships that mean the most to you.

Embrace your self-worth and find what makes you tick. Life is too short to stay at a job because it’s bringing in an income. Find what you’re passionate about, and let that be the basis of your job. As the late Steve Jobs once said,

“You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.”

Don’t settle. Press on.
