Make the Most of a Bad Job Situation
----------------------------------------------------------
In this economy, very few people contemplate quitting their jobs. Unfortunately, this means that many people are stuck in jobs they don't like or even find dehumanizing. To make the most out of a bad work situation, try using these three tips:
1. Connect with people. Relationships often make or break a work situation. Look outside your department and both above and below your level to find people to whom you can relate.
2. Use humor. If you're not happy in your job, find ways to inject humor into your day. Humor passes the time and levity helps you keep perspective.
3. Don't be complacent. Perhaps most importantly, when you have a free moment, keep working on your résumé, updating your LinkedIn profile, and checking job boards.
