Are You Really Bored in Your Job or Is It Something Else?

Posted under Career Planning on August 29th, 2007

Are you, or someone you know, feeling more and more disenchanted in your work with each passing day … have a history of quitting your jobs frequently?

While there are many reasons underlying those symptoms, career counseling can be of benefit to anyone struggling to find what they enjoy and to understand themselves better.

An article (”The Boredom Quiz“) by Joyce Lain Kennedy recently featured a 30-question quiz that will provide some insights into whether its’ the job or something else requiring attention.

A sampling of the key questions include:

· Do you avoid talking about your job because you don’t think others will find it interesting?

· Do you find it increasingly difficult to get to work on time?

· Do you sometimes sense that you’re working harder at being busy than being busy?

· Do you find yourself fatigued at the end of a physically light day?

· Do you block your job from your mind when you’re away from it?

Take the quiz to determine if job boredom is the answer as the first step in finding a solution.
