Name Something You Love about Your Job (or the Search)

February 14, 2011 (11:30AM) by Rick Saia, CPRW

It's Valentine's Day, a day when we normally don't think about work - at least in theory.

Valentines DayBut is there something you can love about your job, or the process of trying to find one?

For instance, if you're looking for a job, is there something about the search that makes you at least a little happy, even if it lasts just a few moments? Maybe it's the thrill of landing an interview, or the excitement you get when you find a posting for a job you believe is ideal for you.

Or, if you have a job, what aspect of it makes you happy? Is it the thrill of having accomplished something notable? Maybe getting some well-deserved recognition from your boss? A raise? Or even something seemingly innocuous, like having a pleasant conversation with a colleague?

Focus on what makes you happy, and I invite you to share it with a comment below.

And, happy Valentine's Day!

My favorite moment in the job search is when when you find the perfect job description for you and you just know it's the right job. Of course, it helps if you get the job :)

@ Casie -- Yes, there's nothing like the adrenalin rush that comes when you see a good fit staring you in the face. The harder part is convincing the employer that you're the right person.
