Everyone has a bad day at work once in a while. Sometimes we draw the conclusion that our job is terrible. However, this usually stems from our strong emotions and frustrations at the moment. Here is a set of questions to help you assess if your job is really great:
- Are your responsibilities clearly outlined and do you know what is expected of you?
- Do you have the essential resources and environment to do your work correctly? (PC working properly, software, office supplies, office space, etc.)
- Do you get weekly feedback or recognition for doing good work?
- Does your supervisor treat you with respect and cares about you as a person?
- Do you have a mentor or a coworker that encourages or gives advice about your development at work?
- Are your opinions and input taken into consideration?
- Do your coworkers share a work ethic to doing quality work?
- Can you relate to at least one other co-worker and can consider them as a friend?
- Do you have an opportunity to review with management your progress and future strategies?
- Do you have the opportunity for advancement in terms of skill, experience, and responsibilities?
