The Joy Factor: Escaping Job Disappointment And Finding Your Dream Career - Paperback

by Lisa Roger (Author)

How do you cope when you feel like you're just killing time at your 9-to-5? How can you find motivation to get to work on Monday morning when you know it's not where you're meant to be?

For many, lack of career direction is a major source of discontentment. We feel depressed and disillusioned with the jobs we have, with no sense of direction. We long to add value to the world through our work, but we don't know how to get there.

Lisa Roger has been there. In 1989 she graduated with a degree her dad wanted her to get, and literally marked the hours she worked on the wall of the job she hated. After years of self-discovery, strengths tests, and eclectic work experience, she finally discovered the secret to finding joy at work. In The Joy Factor, Lisa invites us to skip the struggle by giving us a systematic way to accelerate our timeline to discovering joy with her tested methodology. In it you'll find:

• Prompts for journaling and self-discovery
• Practical tips for how to write a resume that will get you the job you want
• Interview talking points to help uncover exactly what a job entails
• Strategies for turning things that suck into things that bring joy

You don't have to wait until you're 50 to be in a place where you enjoy going to work. You can stop jumping blindly from position to position searching for a holy grail you've never seen. The Joy Factor will guide you to a career that will feed your passions and energy, and maximize your joy in work and life.
