Keeping Your Blah Job, While Planning Your Dream Career
Keep Doing a Good Job
You’ve managed to avoid a pink slip so far and there’s a reason for that. You are good at what you do. You are an asset to your employer. The ever-looming threat of getting booted is weighing on you though. It’s hard to do a bang up job on that presentation when every new e-mail/phone call/meeting request makes you jump and wonder if your time is up. Don’t phone it in and give folks a legitimate reason to give you the deuces. Think about it like this: Right now, you are creating the “wow” project that will get you hired for your next job. Be creative, take on extra work and focus on the fact that you are doing this work for yourself not for your know-nothing boss.
