Who's unhappy in their current role? And what are you going to do about it?

[plowsie]

I think most people don't enjoy their jobs, its just a way of life. Or maybe its just me. I find mine ok cos i can sit on the org all day :)

Don't really know if i want to stay here or not at the moment, seem to be picking things up along the way though so am gonna stick with it for a while methinks.

I'm interviewing all week. The internet is a great thing to help you find a new job.

I didn't like my last job, so I walked. Then I spent 3 months not working.

If you're unhappy, do SOMETHING, you wont regret it. Just make sure you can afford to do whatever it is you want to do.

I absolutely hate my job at the moment.

Going into my dream job in April 08 so until then, wishing the days away. Absolutely killing me at the moment as there is little work on so I am just trawling the net, or re-writing things I have written a million times.

Poop.

Every womans dream to work in a chocolate factory, yes i'm an oompah loompah, but, working weekend nights is really naff and on the opposite shift to your other half is doubly naff

but as he is in uni and we will do some job changes next year it has to suit and not only that the wages I earn are more than i ever would during school hours....so as a single mum I kind of have my cake and eat it insome respect but not in others

Still get to snaffle chocolate though and sit on me bum most of the night ......oh and the end of me finger hurts from all that button pressing:p

Totally agree - life's too short to waste it being unhappy...

Didn't say that I was unhappy or that I wasn't doing anything about it.

I argee with the sentiment. Thoguh going to the dentist the other day has made me appreciate that I shouldn't put stuff off.

[gettin2dizzy]

It's that ******* first step ;)

[Demonz]

+1 to change - but you gotta be motivated to change. Finding the motivation can be hard too. Especially with distractions like the .org etc...

[hovis]

i like my job............ not to keen on the crap pay though

[G]

I like my job, I'm out of the office alot, I drive about alot, every day is generally different, when I'm in the office I can have a quick browse on here now and then.

My only gripe is I would like to get paid more and be given a better car more suited to my role.......but then who doesnt want both of those lol......I guess it will come with time :(

I often get unhappy being a student. Undefined hours (normally stretching right into the evening, and working at weekends), lots of debt, being frowned upon for bieng a tax-dodger.

Last year, I nearly gave up and wanted to become a firefighter. And I would have, had I not had good results in my exams and found an excellent project to pursue this year.

My job is great, I am employed by the government to sit at home and play on the games console and drink beer. They also give me a house and money to look after my 7 kids. The only down side is I have to go via the Post Office before popping down the pub to play darts. All cos I have dodgy leg, but its not bad when I do a bit of cash in hand work for Seamus.

Isn't England great! ;)

I felt exactly the same as a student. Stick with its as its worth it 110%.

After my first year I applied for the easy way out (police/fire service). Decided to stick with it.

During my second year exams I thought about giving in again, but the thought of letting down my parents, the cost entailed and letting my self down kept me at it.

All through my final year I wanted to quit and simply knew that I couldnt.

Every year I came out of the exams knowing I had done crap, I even had to resit an exam at the end of year two....however I NEVER revised.

My final year I revised like i have never done before and came out of every exam feeling amazing, and I got amazing results because of it (Wish I had done that my whole life now). Then the feeling after the final exam is outstanding, the relief, the worry of results, no other feeling I have felt is like it.

Stick With it. :cool:

Join the retained at your local station, you get a small wage plus when you go on shouts. You can still study at the same time. Worth looking into I reckon!

Trust me its not any easy option at all! My brigade had 4k applicants for approx 12 positions.

[Alpinestarhero]

Don't worry, I intend to stick with the Chemistry. I love it too much - I think I got annoyed with lecturers last year, and annoying students. This year I enjoy it alot again, like I did in my first and second year. Plus I'm riding the bike every day, which is always great :D

I won't be struggling with any fire hoses just yet :cool:

Graeme, what did you study?

Matt

[kwak zzr]

[TheDangerousQuietOne]

What you gonna do for job when you switch? I went through exactly the same thing, I changed jobs its working out at the moment bloody hard work and lots of hours.

March 06 I knew I had the job I wanted, then I had to wait for 9 months before I could start. I was doing I job I hated so I quit told the boss to stuff his job up his ****.:D So I went freelance and temped for the rest of the year then went travelling! 11 months on still working hard, was gutted early this year ending up in hosptal but it all seems to be work out now!

If you don't like what you do and can change go for it! Don't be unhappy. Though they are some days where it just goes all wrong and is a bad day but that norm with any job even you passion! Good Luck.

[lukemillar]

I make CGI for feature film and love it. The pay is pretty good, hours aren't too bad, you don't have to wear a suit + with a bit of experience, you can work all around the world!

You may think that it's a difficult industry to get into, but all the companies will have entry level positions as Runners and if you work hard then I have known runners to progress to junior 2D and 3D positions after a few months. Just depends how keen you are and how busy the company is really. At the moment there is a lot of work about town.

Here are the big 4 in London:

http://www.moving-picture.com/
http://www.dneg.com/
http://www.cinesite.com/
http://www.framestore-cfc.com/

Plus there is a whole load more doing film and TV work as well.

Just some food for thought, someone might be interested!

Thanks
Luke

Graeme, what did you study?



I did a degree in something most people probably wouldnt think of. 80% of people will have a negative stereotypical view of the role that results from my degree........*Dragons Dens Voice* 'and for that reason' ....... I'm not going to say *End/Dragons Den Voice*
