Top 5 Things My Bad Jobs Taught Me

Views 17 Views    Comments 1 Comments    Share Share    Posted by Anshul 18-09-2008  
When people find out I work for Monster, they often ask me for advice on their own careers. I give this standard guidance when people complain they have a bad job: Put your resume together, start looking and try not to let the situation get you down. It will pass.

But every experience, good or bad, teaches you life lessons, and work is no exception. Here are the top five lessons I’ve learned from jobs that were not a good fit:

• You Can Survive a Bad Situation: It may seem unbearable at the time, but you will muddle through and become stronger for it. At the very least, you’re earning a paycheck, and at most, you’re picking up experience and skills for your resume.

• Your Relationship with Your Boss Largely Controls Your Destiny at a Particular Job: Interpersonal difficulties complicate your working life, but never more so than when the problem is with your supervisor. Make every effort to build a great working relationship with your manager. And if you can’t? Time to update that resume.

I totally agree... A bad job does makes u strong atleast it acquints with the worst that can happen at the workplace.And yes at the end of the day u do have a paycheck in your hand.
But the sooner you get out of the place the better it is since such an environment does take its toll on the person.
