Remember all those grumpy mornings just because you had nothing to look forward to at work?
We can all attest to having that one job that you took up either because you had zero experience, you needed the money to pay your bills or you wanted to fill up the free time that you had. Those jobs might have ended up being either good or bad. Unfortunately, there are those who had more than a fair share of bad jobs. Remember all those grumpy mornings just because you had nothing to look forward to at work?
The more you advance in your career journey and take a look back at what you had to go through, sometimes it’s hard not to laugh at the first odd jobs you took. Even though those jobs were not as distinguished, it does not mean that they were worthless. However, those experiences that felt like the worst end up giving you the best career lessons of your life and lay a solid ground for future career success.
The positive learnings from having that worst job can be:
1.You realize you can do any job effectively
With dedication and determination, you can hack any job
2.You learn to motivate yourself
Knowing not to rely on others to motivate you or set a mission and goals for you.
3.You learn how to evaluate people
Different environments allow you to evaluate and understand different people and get to learn how to deal with everyone.
4.You discover skills can be developed everywhere
No matter what you were doing at that job you get to develop a new skill which will be essential for future success.
5.You learn to always ‘Take the high road’
No matter the situation always be ethical and respectful to people you never know where you will meet them again.
