This resource is a half-hour consultation with a qualified staff person of Christian Institute. The session is based on the following content about what you can do to achieve job satisfaction..

According to a recent survey, job dissatisfaction is widespread among workers of all ages across all income brackets. The study found that only half of all the workers are satisfied with their jobs. Worker satisfaction has declined across all income brackets over the last nine years (click here for more on this study). Surveys over the past 40 years have shown that 40% to 50% of workers would change their line of work, if they could.

With worker dissatisfaction so high and increasing, how can you avoid it? Or, if you are working and dissatisfied, what can you do about it?

One of the primary reasons why people are dissatisfied with their job is because they are in the wrong job.

How do you know if you’re in the wrong job and are experiencing job satisfaction? Here are some points to consider:

1. You become physically ill upon arriving at work or feel the need to drive past the parking lot and return home
2. Friday offers no relief, it is just a distressing reminder that Monday looms in the not too distant future
3. Work activities are dull and boring and you sit with your door closed or in your cubicle playing computer games
4. You physical health is failing, you feel exhausted and listless
5. You stop playing office politics and avoid trying to please your boss and keep peace with co-workers
6. You come to a realization that no matter how hard you work or what you accomplish nothing satisfies you
7. Your promotional options no longer exist; the company has permanently frozen the Human Resource Department
8. You go home talking to family and friends about how horrendously unhappy you are at your job
9. You dream of leaving your job and moving to a remote island in the South Pacific, no seriously, leaving friends, family, your life and never looking back
10. You feel lost, hopeless and no matter what anyone says there is no real answer, it’s a lose-lose situation.

Now, what can you do about it?

To start, you can determine if you have the right job fit. The right job fit means you are working in a job that matches your abilities and interests.

How do you know this? Did you get the job because it was something that just came along? Or, did you seek it based on your interests and abilities?

Therefore, to know if you are in the right job you can take an assessment to determine your job and career interests.

Christian Institute is here to help you find the right job for you.
