How to turn the job you have into the job you want

How to turn the job you have into the job you want

With all the hype over the past few weeks about “quiet quitting”, I've been thinking a lot about how instead of doing the bare minimum in a job that doesn't satisfy us or just “quitting”, we can find ways to turn it around and find meaning in it.

I came across this article in Business Insider on how to make your current job, the job you want. The article talks about a book written by journalist Shana Lebowitz Gaynor, which seems to give some tips and answers to this question.

    This was really great information. I will use two tips right away to deal with my boring “in between” job. I can only hope things will get better, I too would love to quit but I am concerned about giving up stable employment.

    Hi, I'm glad you found it helpful. Before quitting apply those tips and let me know how it goes. Those small changes make a big difference.
