There's satisfaction
in a job well done.
I've had fantastic
jobs – I once worked in Waterstones, and spent almost half of my
first pay cheque on the books I'd spent all day shelving – I've had
truly shitty jobs, and I've had mediocre jobs; I've worked shifts of
all hours, in teams and departments of various sizes; I've done
part-time, seasonal, and full-time work.
Throughout it all,
I've found it to be true, that there's satisfaction in a job well
done.
It's easy to forget
that when you've been out of work for a while.
It's easy to wonder why you're going to such lengths to find a job at
all. So, this week's update is just a quick one, a little reminder:
It's
gratifying to be good at something. A job can mean more than money in
the bank. Job-hunting is
banal and dispiriting, but there is a
point to it, and it is worth
it. Hard as it can be, don't forget that.
