Falling in love again – with your job

3. Look for a project
If there are no directly related responsibilities you could take on, look for a project to get involved in. One client of mine offered to launch a company newsletter. It became a successful in-house magazine and he was promoted as a result. Another client decided to get involved in running the social side of work. She organised a hugely successful charity ball and Christmas party and had a great time doing it.

4. Come up with ideas
It doesn’t matter what you do or who you work for, there is always room for improvement in the way things are done. So look around for bright ideas and don’t be shy about putting them forward.

5. Job swap
Swapping jobs with someone else in the company can give you both a whole new perspective and a fresh challenge. Look around for a job you’d like to try. Then talk to the person in that job and, if they’re keen, approach the boss together.

6. Have some training
It may be that your company will sponsor you to do a course or some extra training. Ask around to find out what’s possible. Or look for opportunities to learn more inside the company, perhaps by sitting in on meetings or working alongside someone who’s got plenty to teach you.

7. Do your job well
Remember that it isn’t that the job got boring, it’s you who got bored! It’s often at this point that a lot of people stop bothering to do their job well and this just leaves them even more dissatisfied. Treat your job as interesting and do it to the absolute best of your ability. Your job is important; it makes you a living and takes up a large part of your life. The way you do it is vital to your happiness. Work with pleasure and you’ll attract job satisfaction and rewards.
