CREATING YOUR OWN JOB SATISFACTION

A lot of people think that job satisfaction is only for other people. They look with envy on people who love their jobs and who dont think of them as work. The idea of earning a living from something you really like doing only applies to a few very lucky people, they think. But this isnt so. Its not only people in the so called !glamour professions, for e"ample, who can get genuine job satisfaction. #ou dont have to be in the arts or a sports person to get enjoyment from what you do for a living. $ven if youre in a boring job, its %uite possible to get some satisfaction from it. The key to this is your attitude. #ou may think its unlikely that you can derive much satisfaction from a dull job that doesnt re%uire much thought and that involves a lot of routine procedures. But if you approach it with the right attitude, and put some effort in, you may be surprised at how enjoyable you can make it. &f course, if you just sit there telling yourself how boring your job is, youll never get anything out of it. But if you set out to find ways of making it enjoyable, theres a good chance youll manage to. &ne thing you can do is to set yourself challenges. Think about what you can do for yourself to make your work a little bit more interesting. If youve got a repetitive job, set yourself some targets to meet and try to beat your previous records. &r use your initiative in other ways. Think about ways you could develop your career into more interesting areas ' see how you could improve your skills by doing a course, for e"ample, or look into new skills you could get that would stand you in good stead for the future. (or some people, its not boredom thats the problem, its the fact that their jobs involve a significant amount of unpleasantness. But if you keep telling yourself your job is horrible and theres nothing you can do about it, youll get stuck in a rut and youll never get out of it. (ocus on developing a positive attitude and try to keep any negative thoughts about your job out of your mind. )eep a sense of perspective ' if somethings gone wrong on a particular day, decide whether it really matters or not. If it isnt actually all that important, dont dwell on it, let it go. *earn from it, and take an upbeat view of whats happened ' youll know how to avoid the problem in future, or what to do about it if it happens again. &f course, you may reach the point where you feel totally trapped in a job. If this mindset starts to overwhelm you, check out the options you may have in the place where you work. +ap out a plan for improving your situation there. Are there other roles in the organi,ation you could apply for- .ould you ask to be given different tasks- .ould you get a different kind of assignment or go to another department where your skills are re%uired- (inding out there are other options will give you a sense of control over your own working life. $ven if you have no job satisfaction right now, youll feel better if you know that there is a realistic prospect of work that gives you a degree of it.
$"pectations are another key ingredient in job satisfaction. Take a long hard look at what you really are capable of. /ometimes its important to accept that you couldnt really do the much more interesting or high powered job you aspire to. Try to be aware of your own strengths and weaknesses. (ocus on the things you really are good at, rather than on things that, if youre really honest with yourself, you couldnt actually do. +ake the most of your situation and feel good about what you can do, rather than feeling bad about what you cant do. 0ork is a very important part of most peoples lives and its important to get at least some satisfaction from it. If you really dislike your time at work, the rest of your life is affected too, and you can easily get a negative outlook on life in general. Its in your own hands to avoid this. $ven if you cant get the job of your dreams, you can take steps to create your own job satisfaction.
