It's not unheard of to get what you think is your dream job and you realize it's not great.

Or worse, you hate it.

If you've been here for a hot minute you know I'm an advocate for people being happy in their jobs and careers.

What to do if you've found yourself in this situation:

  • Take a deep breath
  • Try and find the positive
  • Find the disconnect
  • Chat with your manager / leader
  • Figure out if whatever you don't like is permanent or temporary
  • What enticed you to take the job?
  • Is there anything that could make you happy with your current situation?
  • How long has it been?
  • Soooooo nothing is perfect. Are you being realistic?
  • Are your expectations realistic?
  • Is it the job that sucks or the environment?
  • Do you just need a vacay?

What you can do to possibly avoid this situation in the future:

  • Be thorough in the interview process
  • Be honest when you're interviewing
  • Look at reviews online
  • Is there anyone in your network that has worked for the organization?
  • Do a social media search
