So many people’s first thought of the morning when their alarm wakes them up is, ‘I hate my job’. Hating your job can impact your whole life, even your life outside of work, as you start to carry your work dread around with you. But what should you do about it? In this live chat, Elizabeth talks with life and career coach Emily Frost about the concrete steps you can start today to tackle that ‘I hate my job’ feeling.
Emily lays out five steps to take when you’re haunted by the ‘I hate my job’ feeling that will help you determine what about your job you hate and what to do next. She advises anyone on the edge of a big career transition and explains the benefits of working with a coach.
