We ALL Work for the Money. Period.

by Werdna Yug Leave a Comment

Why does no one want to admit that the only reason they work is so they can buy stuff?  Even if you enjoy what you do for a living, you are doing it because you have to.  Whether it's the roof over your head, the hot meal in your tummy, or health benefits for your family - we work because we have to- we need the money.And your boss, you know, the one who lectures you on a regular basis and takes himself too seriously?   He too, is only there for one reason - a paycheck.But we all dance the dance, pretending that other factors are keeping us at work.  We are living in a society that fools us into thinking we must "like" what we do or that it should "satisfy" us.  Those are bonuses, not requirements.  If you are lucky enough to touch them throughout your work travels, hold on for dear life.  But the rest of us will continue to work as a means to an end.Personally, I don't think being honest about your work motives should cast you in a negative … [Read more...] about We ALL Work for the Money.

by Werdna Yug Leave a Comment

Sometimes the best way to get your foot in the door with a company is by accepting a part-time or temporary employment opportunity.  Here are four ways to turn a part-time job into full-time work.  THREAD YOURSELF INTO THE FABRIC OF THE ORGANIZATION. Aside from doing a kick-butt job and going above and beyond expectations, get involved in extra-circular activities.  Play on the corporate softball team, volunteer to assist with events, and show up at every single office birthday party. Bring that glowing personality and upbeat attitude with you at all times.   Appealing to an employer's emotional side is a smart play, after all, they're human too!  MAKE YOUR MOTIVE KNOWN FROM THE START.  Back when I was an intern for a radio station that I wanted to work full-time for, I would tell everyone who would listen that I wanted to work there upon graduation.  It became a running joke with upper-management, but eventually got me the gig.  Too many … [Read more...] about 4 Ways to Turn a Part-Time Job Into Full-Time Work
