nine-to-five grind until you noticed something

Youve been able to handle the nine-to-five grind until you notlageiced something. You seemed unsatisfied with your current standing. You wondered about a different scenery. You were tempted to follow your heart (and leap into the unknown). If your life were a Hollywood film, then you wouldnt have second thoughts about ti. You would be guaranteed of a happy ending (after crying a river). But real life could be more complicated than that. And stretching your resources wouldnt be a pretty sight. There would be an alternative scenario.You might be looking for your employment heaven, and you havent made it there. How would you know? Here are five stepsFirst step. You must figure out what matters to you at the moment. You might be getting impatient with your career goals, and you would be thinking of swift action. You might be wishing for more, which you would regret later. Your colleagues may be impressed at your became good in what you were doing after a year (or two), and survival would follow. On the other hand, you have been working diligently. You become invisible (or almost). It might be high time to get noticed, and you might consider volunteering for a task. Keep in mind that this would give your superiors fewer things to do. Moreover, volunteering for doing things and doing things are not the same. Think about these things thoroughly before you make your next move.Second step. Theres no substitute for expert advice. It can be your family and friends, even your former colleagues. How about the current workplace? You might not have found the right person whom you can confide your thoughts and feelings about the office. Youre stepping into a familiar terrain, where you might turn into a topic of conversation among your workmates. Take your time and get to know them. Otherwise, your family and friends may be good enough.Third step. You need a break. Its time to look for a distraction. Do you have a hobby? Find one. Youll get a chance to meet new people who shar e your interests. Different circles (of friends or acquaintances) will keep you from getting burned out at the office. Its not that you cant count on your colleagues, but different people would have different responses to such a situation. You almost forgot something You might need a holiday. How about forgetting the workplace for a while? Sightseeing never fails on this one.Fourth step. You have to lean to survive the workplace, and you wont feel that youre working once you master it. There are four things to follow on this one. Never mix drinking and working. Dont upset anyone in the office. You must learn to work without the watchful eyes of your boss. And ignore your inbox during working hours. It will distract you regardless of the content. Urgent will be much better.Fifth step. You must be grateful that you have a job. However, you must think it over if you really want a change.
