Ten Ways to Love Your Job

Post author By web gangsta
Post date April 4, 2012

If there’s one thing Web Watch knows, it’s that we LOVE what we do.

Always have, for the most part. Our philosophy is that you’re going to spend more time at work and with the people you work with than you will with your own friends and family.

And if you don’t enjoy doing what you’ve signed up for, then you’re just going to be miserable.

Unsatisfied.

Unfulfilled.

And you’ll probably end up not being very good at your career in the end because of it. Trust us, it’s better to do something you love doing, because being unhappy because of work drudgery isn’t anyway to go through life. THAT is something that you can directly control and change.

14 Worst Stripper Names

Web Watch has been reading the diary of the ANGRY STRIPPER, and has been quite amused by what Sarah has written thus far.

Who would have thought that dancers would have this much pent-up anger that forces them to write, write, write about their experiences and observations?

It does help when the stripper in question really is a writer, but that’s another post for another day.

10 Things How To

Contrary to popular belief, “women’s business networks” don’t always work

Web Watch has been a member of any number of work-related groups and networking circles.

Usually, they serve some greater purpose in advancing one’s career via seminars and learning opportunities.

But the networking aspect of them always felt a little… off.

Very clique-ish, especially from an outsider’s viewpoint looking in. If you didn’t already know someone who knew someone, your ability to join in all the fun and reindeer games would be similar to what you probably went through in high school, with the same insecurities in trying to make it in with the In Crowd.

10 job interview questions that you don’t want potential employers asking you

Interviewing for a new job can be a stressful experience. You’re trying to make the best first impression, and the employer liked your resume enough to warrant giving you a chance.

Web Watch believes that anything that’s mentioned on a resume is fair game to talk about during an interview. So if you don’t want to talk about that 8-month stint where you were an executive assistance to Jennifer Anniston if that job didn’t give you any skills that are applicable to what you’re applying for, then you might want to leave that off.

If you’re a recent college graduate (or about to be one), here’s something that you should know:

It’s a jungle out there, and getting a job right out of college is not as much of a guarantee as it used to be.

When hiring managers are combing through stacks and stacks of resumes looking for the ideal candidate to fill an open position, it often comes down to just a few things that can separate the You’re Hired pile from the Don’t Bother pile.

10 jobs that are expected to disappear in 2012

What do you do for a living today?

Do you expect that job to still be pertinent when 2012 comes to an end? If you’re in the pay phone repair business, you may want to start looking to expand your skillset.

Same thing if you’re working at a GPS manufacturer or printing Yellow Pages. All of these are jobs that technology has trumped over the past few years.

But there are trends that you may want to pay attention to, especially if you believe what the BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS’ OCCUPATIONAL OUTLOOK HANDBOOK has to say regarding what jobs are currently on the decline.

GROOMING AND ETIQUETTE FOR CORPORATE MEN AND WOMEN:
How to Dress Properly

We all know that proper grooming is important to succeed in the workplace.

Web Watch knows a few men with (shall we say…) less than admirable shower and clothes-washing habits.

One situation arose where a co-worker had to be taken aside and be told explicitly to go home and shower. It was an uncomfortable conversation, but it had to be done. You could smell him coming from down the hall. Web Watch shudders just remembering the stench, it was that bad.
