So you wanna STAY !

Well , shud you move on or stay a litle more ?? Lots of people find themselves in the situation where they’re not ready to move jobs – perhaps because they’ve only been in the role a short time, or because they want to gain more experience. So if you find yourself in the situation where you’re in a job that is okay but not brilliant, the below points will make your job more interesting ....

A low down on Some suggestions :

Work Flexibly ::
check if you have a scope to work more flexibly? Working from home one day a week, for example, could give you more variety. This is not an excuse to get up late and lie around watching daytime TV, though – you’ll need to be able to show some output for your time away from the office! This shud be done only by discussing the options with your manager.

Learn More ::
If you feel you’re not being stimulated enough mentally, consider doing some training or a course that is work-related: it will give you new insights, help to keep you fresh, and will be a useful addition to your CV when you are ready to move on.


Think Positive ::
Focus on the positives – what do you really like about your job . How could you incorporate more of that into your working day? Remind yourself of the other positive aspects of your work – your friends and colleagues,convenience level with your boss, nice office to work in , location is best for you , its near to your house , for instance.

Try to throw yourself to Challenge ::
Find new challenges. One of the reasons that we can get restless in our job is simply, boredom. Think about ways in which you could make your role more interesting. Perhaps you could volunteer to mentor new staff, or spend some time every week shadowing people in other departments to get a broader perspective on the business .


Networking is the key ::
Network more. If meeting new people is not already part of your role, find ways to incorporate it. Meeting people and getting fresh perspectives can help you to keep yourself interested and interesting. If there don’t seem to be many networking opportunities where you are, create some! Organize a team outing, or arrange for you and your colleagues to meet up with staff from another part of the company.

Balance & Prioritise Your Workload ::
Get used to prioritizing your workload – negotiate extensions to deadlines if necessary – and make yourself leave the office on time at least 3 nights a week. Most of us have periods when we’re extra-busy and end up working long hours, but if this is happening to you routinely, you need to get out of that rut.

Have Some Fun boys ::
Inject a bit of fun into your workplace. That could be as simple as "Subway Sandwich" on a Monday morning breakfast (veg or non veg , i leave it up to you ) or a team drink on Friday afternoon. Or it could be a more structured social event. Your work colleagues don’t have to be your bosom buddies, but you’ll enjoy your working day much more if there’s a bit of banter and humour around. Just because your work is a serious business doesn’t mean you can’t have fun while you do it!

Improve Your Social Life ::
Make an effort to do more interesting things outside of work. If your working week consists of getting up in the morning, going to work, coming home, having dinner, slumping in front of the TV and then going to bed, your job is going to have a disproportionate impact on your overall mood. Try to fit a couple of social engagements into your week – a dancing class or an art exhibition, perhaps, or just a catch-up with friends you haven’t seen for a while. Having something to look forward to during the week will help to make it more enthusiastic .
