Stuck in a job you can't wait to leave? Today, I have the honor of being featured over at the Work Coach Cafe blog. My post provides tips on how to stay positive during the job hunt while working in a job you hate. Please join the discussion and let us know if you're in this type of situation and how you're dealing with it.
I am volunteering to work in different roles. For example, I am volunteering for asignments that add variety to my work. I making myself available for crosstraining new staff, answering questions and helping management with special projects. I am becoming familiar with areas I have not explored, to keep my job interesting. Functioning in different capacities has helped me break through anxiousness and boredom. My manager knows I want something else, but she does not feel slighted because I am maintaing my performance level. She is happy to give me a good reference when I have interviews.
@ MReedburg -- I like your attitude! Keeping yourself busy by doing your job and then some can help keep your spirits up and add to your list of work skills.
