5 SIGNS YOU ARE IN THE WRONG JOB

It's can be difficult to find a job where you are a perfect fit this country and because of this, a lot of workers find themselves in jobs where they are unhappy. If you notice any of these signs in your attitude at work, you might be in the wrong job.

You dread Mondays

Dragging yourself to work every day can have a huge impact on your happiness in the long-run. If you find yourself in this predicament, reconsider your job choice. Dreading work days can make you call in sick even when there is nothing physically wrong with you. Research has shown that unhappy employees take an average of 15 more sick days a year than happy employees.While it is okay to be unhappy that the weekend is over, if you spend Sundays dreading work, that's a clear sign that something is wrong.

Consistently Negative Feedback

The most glaring clue you can get about your choice of jobs is the consistent feedback you get from others. If your life is filled with negative comments and few rewards, it’s probably not because your manager hates you. You are just in the wrong job. Consider the possibility that you are the problem. Be honest and find yourself a better fit.

You're always complaining

It’s natural for most people to complain once in a while. But when you find yourself complaining about your job all the time, it’s a huge indicator that you’re in the wrong job. Endless complaints about your job, at the least, indicate that you are not enjoying your work.

You hate the company

It can be difficult to get enthusiastic about a job when you hate the company. Hating the company can make it difficult to work because just like when you don't like learning something, you will be less enthusiastic about it. In other words, you don’t believe in the company’s products or services.

Nothing Comes Naturally

If you go to work every day hating what you are doing, then it might be time to reconsider your choices. Working at the wrong job can drain you emotionally and mentally and life is too short for that. It's important to strive and hustle and master new skills. However, if nothing in your job comes easy, you might be in the wrong line of work.

Are any of these signs familiar? Time to update your CV and start applying.

Op you really made some vita points being in the wrong job is life challenging because nothing about such person will work normal.Every individual has what rocks his or her boat but discovery it is a different ball game.It is cool to try many things and discover where you fit in by the positive sign you feels.

So OK I actually think I'm in the wrong job, yeah?
I dread Mondays, who doesn't?
Sometimes you get positive feedback, but compared to negative feedback its just a needle in a haysack. Lets be true to ourselves, when last did you say "thank you" to your doctor or nurse? There you go....... tongue
Do I complain a lot? Like seriously, yes! That's what you do when ur underemployed.
Do I like the company? Who likes a country that slaves you?
But i love my job so I don't consider it "the wrong job". More appropriately, I'd say I'm in the wrong country. grin
