Motivating Yourself When Your Job Sucks!

This is a bad time if you are someone who’s Monday’s are without question the worst day of the week, and every Sunday night you feel sick. If you are someone who hates their current job or perhaps the company you work for, then this economy only makes it worse. What do you do when the job market is slow and leaving is not an option? Let’s face it, just a few years ago, if you weren’t excited about your job, you went out and got a new one. For some it was as often as changing their underwear. Today in this economy it’s not as easy to change jobs. So what are you going to do? What changes can you make?
You can’t leave your job and going without one is not an option. You need to suck it up and make it work. How do you do that? Well the answer is just a decision away! Listen, there are millions of people out there wishing they had your job, so let’s move on. I would have to say that the majority of people aren’t crazy about their job. Me, I hated pretty much every job I had. What I had to do was to convince myself that I was going to be the absolute best employee I could be. No matter what, I would be the best. I didn’t think about finding a new job or why I’m smarter than my boss. So I got excited about my job and all of a sudden the hours flew like minutes.
What helped me to do this was books. I would highly recommend getting into a reading program. I don’t mean romance novels but inspirational books and self help books: anything that teaches you how to overcome and how to improve yourself. Most of these books are written by people that had tremendous obstacles to overcome, and they succeeded. I used to go in my car during lunch just to read because I didn’t want anyone to see what I was reading. You know how that goes in corporate America. Your co-workers are like crabs in a basket: always trying to pull the other one down that is trying to get out. No one wants you to succeed because that shines a light on them.
Working hard to be the best is going to be a blessing for you. One way is when the market does pick up and a new opportunity presents itself to you, you will be missed. Secondly, you are going to have some great references for the future. It’s also a good idea to not move around a lot in your career. The largest obstacle to over come on a resume is too much movement. Not every job is going to be perfect, so make the most out of it and grow as a person.

Virtual Job Searches

Twenty years ago the best way to find a job was to speak to your personal network (which is still the best way), scan the newspaper classifieds and call the employer, or go to a career fair. Unfortunately, nearly everything we do has become automated or online or more efficient in one way or another, thus minimizing interpersonal contact. As such, the best way to get your resume in the hands of a hiring manager is to use the most direct route possible. Job boards are easy and you can definitely focus on quantity over quality by utilizing that route, but is that the best way to find the job?

A recent recruitment survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development found that corporate websites have become the recruitment method of choice. The poll, which surveyed 755 employers, unearthed information showing that 78% of employers used their corporate websites for employment, compared to 29% using commercial job boards. Additionally, XPertHR showed that nearly 90% of employers (out of 106 organizations and 289,000 employees) use online recruitment, with nearly 75% posting all of their vacancies on their corporate website. One logical reason for the growth of corporate job sites is the economy.
As the economy has taken a downturn companies have been required to cut costs on spending. Additionally, as human capital growth has waned so has the so has the necessity to pay large amount for job boards that are not being utilized as much.

This doesn't suggest that you will not be able to find these jobs on the job boards. It merely suggests that the quickest way to get your resume in the hands of the hiring manager is to use corporate sites. Some benefits to applying directly include:
1) Working directly with corporate HR. (best for permanent roles, contracts are best through staffing agencies.
2) Shows you have looked at the company site and logically have researched the business and role you are applying to
3) You may find other "non-advertised" jobs on the corporate site that you are interested in.
4) Shows your computer literacy and the ability to dig down for information .
5) Reduces response handling working for the HR Department.
6) Direct email to HR rather than notifications of applications by Job Boards which can group applicants all together in a bundled email.
