Job hunting is easy. Finding the right job is kind of, too. But finding the perfect employer makes it difficult.
You have to find someone that is also looking for you. Trying to fit in is not desperate when it comes to landing a job you like, or probably need. Just remember that if you try so hard, it may not be for you.
"But you can't just quit!"
"Is it that easy to say no to an opportunity?"
"If it's easy for you to quit then you might not be a hardworker"
"The company doesn't need you."
Yada, yada.
Yes. Exactly. You can't just quit. Go find another job, another employer, keep sending your applications.
Not all open doors are opportunities. Everything that's handed to you can be easy at first, but you don't really want it, you don't really need it. You just try hard to work with what's easily accessible. You are just trying to settle.
Do not work hard, WORK SMART. The same person that logs out at 5PM gets the same salary as the one who gets off work at 8PM. Or they both get out at 5PM but the other one gets more job done.
The company doesn't need a certain name. They just need someone that can get the job done no matter what his or her name is, wherever they came from or whatever they have done in the past; as long as they are qualified, of course.
I am not teaching you to be lazy. Find your motivation to work, aside from your fanily, desire to retire with a fat bank account, paying off debts or passion to travel. First thing is loving what you do. Enjoying your job because your boss and the rest of you have a great teamwork.
Love what you do and the only way you can enjoy working is with an environment that suits you. We all need those bills paid. We all need to feed our family and ourselves. We all need a job. But landing just a job can be unhealthy for you. You might end up resigning, or just quitting without any notice just because some company offers a better rate or compensation.
Take it from me. My resume's a mess. I can' even last a year with a company. Personal matters were my excuse which was all true but going back, I know I could've done something about it that wouldn't resort to resignation.
Do not waste your time or resume for a salary offer that's always the same for various professions. Consider the location, compensation, especially the benefits and how your interview went with your potential direct manager. They matter. So do you.
