"Get in where you fit in" or "Go where you can grow"?

by Radio Show Host Dianne Young

Finding a career is like finding a mate!  We should be as serious about choosing the right career as we are about finding Mr Right instead of settling for Mr Right Now!  "Get in where we can fit in" means we found a J.O.B (Just Over Broke) to pay the bills.  Many studies have shown that when we go where we can grow, we are happier in that job, more productive and more likely to stay there!




Here is a quick message for Employees as well as Employers.

ATTENTION EMPLOYEES:   If you're not happy with your job, consider the pros and cons of it. I highly recommend the book, "Wellbeing" by Tom Rath and Jim Harter.  It contains several simple ways to improve your career wellbeing.  Look for ways of growing in that company if you see an opportunity, instead of forfeiting your seniority and benefits. If you decide it is time to make a move, start your research BEFORE you need to move so you have options!  You don't want to be forced into just taking another job at the last minute because you just can't stand your current job anymore!

ATTENTION EMPLOYERS: Assuming you hired good leaders, the performance review should be the magic to foster a culture of continued professional development. If good communication has been the practice from the start, there should be no surprises during the performance review.  Good communication ensures that the Employee knows the expectations and knows how to meet them.  The key is an honest, tactful discussions about how the Employee can continue to improve.  As Richard Branson put it, "Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to."  It is cheaper to retain (yes, retrain if necessary) employees then it is to hire and train a new one!
