Stress

Recently, i have started on a new full time job which i have very much enjoyed.
Like all jobs, even though u might actually found a job that is within your interest, your expectation for earning, or even something that you have actually wanting to work for a very long time, it will still give you stress at some point.

Now, whatever i have said just now, it happens for me.
I totally enjoy this new full time job that i have found a months ago. I like the pace of it, the environment and the people that i get to work with. However, after working this few months, i came to reliese that this job might not be what i actually enjoy doing.
The stress came at me straight on and it hits me real hard. It even got me wondering it i should just quit the job and move on to others.
So, i went and did abit of research on job suitability.

So, here's what i found:
1) knowing what you like to do and what you can do.
It is really important to know what you like to do, because this way, there will be a higher chance for you to continue in doing it. When finding a job, these are the 2 factors that will determine what kind of job you should find. Knowing what you can do is also very important. For example, if you know that you are not a very good speaker, then don't find jobs that requires you to talk much with the customers or clients. But do take note that communication is really important in any company. Even if it is a small company with only 10 people working.

2) know your time limits.
If you love to have a work-life working timing, don't go for retail. Even if you are to go for retail, it is really important to talk about it during the interview. From what i know, some retail jobs are meant to be 5 days per week, while others are 6 days per week. Trust me, 6 days per week job might seems ok at first, however at the end you will feel like a crap on your day off. One day of rest is never enough. If you know that, don't go for jobs like that. Look for others instead.

3) knowing your working limits.
Like the point says, knowing whether you are able to handle responsibility, whether you can take charge and whether you have the ability to make decisions on your own is really important. If nether of this you are able to do it, i suggest that you don't look for jobs that are at least a supervision position. You will not be able to handle it. Really you wouldn't, and you will, regret all the way. However, if you believe that you are up for the challenge, then go for it. But be mindful that you have to be extra careful as you are no longer just a staff in the company.

4) knowing your work relationship.
Know your work relationship with the people that you are going to work beforehand is really important. Imagine that you are going to work very closely with the manger at all times, you have to know what he/she working style is like. Because no mater what you are going to work under he/she and knowing their working style will make your life alot easier. However, if you are unable to do the way the manager wants, or you just couldn't keep up with it, then probably you might have to talk with your boss about putting to work under a different people. After all, it is hard to work with people that doesn't match in the beginning. Sometimes, its better to avoid than to collate.

With this, i hope that anyone who is finding a new job, or having difficulty in their job, would have a better understanding about looking for jobs and probably how to overcome those difficulty.
Happy job hunting ^_^
