3 Reasons To Quit Pursuing Career Happiness

Instead of focusing on career happiness, focus on this…

Work It DAILY’s CEO and 20+ year career coaching veteran, J.T. O’Donnell, thinks one of the biggest mistakes people are making post-pandemic is they are too focused on creating career happiness. Instead, she believes they should be trying to build career resilience.

Career happiness is really difficult to achieve. What will make you happy in your career today, might not make you happy in five years. Which is why you should be focused on satisfaction and resilience in your career, and not just happiness.

Here are three reasons why you should quit pursuing career happiness.

5 Reasons To Make SurveyJunkie Your Next Side Hustle

There are several reasons why someone might choose to have a side hustle as an online survey taker for SurveyJunkie. Here are five possible reasons:

1. Flexibility: Online survey taking allows for flexibility in terms of working hours. As a survey taker, you can typically choose when and where you want to complete surveys. This flexibility is especially beneficial for individuals who have other commitments such as a full-time job, studies, or family responsibilities.

2. Extra Income: One of the primary motivations for having a side hustle is to earn additional income. SurveyJunkie offers compensation to survey takers for completing surveys. While the income may vary depending on factors like survey length and complexity, it can be a convenient way to supplement your regular income or save up for specific goals.

3. Low Entry Barrier: Starting as an online survey taker usually has a low barrier to entry. SurveyJunkie, for example, allows individuals to sign up easily and start taking surveys without requiring specialized skills or experience. This accessibility makes it an attractive option for people looking to earn money without needing extensive training or qualifications.

4. Work from Anywhere: Online survey taking provides the opportunity to work from anywhere with an internet connection. Whether you prefer to work from the comfort of your home, a coffee shop, or while traveling, as long as you have access to the internet, you can take surveys and earn money. This flexibility can be particularly appealing for digital nomads or individuals seeking location-independent work.

5. Variety and Engagement: Participating in online surveys exposes you to a range of topics and provides an opportunity to share your opinions. This can be interesting and engaging for individuals who enjoy expressing their thoughts, providing feedback, or learning about different subjects. It can also serve as a way to stay updated on market trends, consumer preferences, and new products or services.

#1 Tip For Talking About Your Strengths In A Job Interview

Don’t give your own opinions about your personal strengths during an interview.

A common question for hiring managers and recruiters to ask during a job interview is: “What are your strengths?”

If you typically answer this question with, “I think my strengths are ____,” we suggest trying this…

The answer you give to this interview question is a great way to show that you have emotional intelligence and is a way to stand out from other candidates. Instead of answering the question with your own opinion of your strengths, you need to give them real examples. We suggest talking about feedback and compliments you have received from previous employers.

By doing this, you are showing the future employer that you know your value in the workplace. And remember, you can always ask a manager, boss, or co-worker for their feedback if you are not exactly sure what to say.
