A Good Job

A good  job. We all want one.

A good job is different for all of us, but you know it when you have it.  You’re excited to go to work when you have a good job. And, excited about what you accomplish while you’re at work.

But . . the real reason for this post is to say “there is no such thing as a bad job.” Every job teaches you something. Every job gives you the opportunity to connect (i.e. network) with other people. Every job gives the chance to do good work and make a reputation for yourself. And, if you perform well, any job, can be a stepping stone for your next job.  

So, even if the job you have right now is not one you want to stay in long term, take it seriously and do your best. Be at work and be at work on time. Do what needs to be done – don’t be afraid to do something not in your job description and don’t wait to be asked to do something that needs to be taken care of.  Set a positive example for other workers. Show respect for your manager and coworkers.

In short, appreciate the opportunity to have that job. You just don’t know where it might lead you!
