Aloha friend đ howâs life treating you? I know itâs taking you a while to find that dream job, and youâre probably asking yourself: âshould I take a job that isnât my dream job?â.
The answer to this question is going to depend on your circumstances.
Ask yourself these 3 questions:
đHow are my finances looking?
Do you have savings to cushion you whilst youâre unemployed or are your funds running low? You donât want to leave yourself financially vulnerable. So if your funds are looking light, taking a âmediocreâ job is a good solution until you find the right role.
đCan a âmediocreâ job help me to progress into something better?
Even if itâs not your dream job, remember to use foresight to assess how a mediocre job can help you land a better role in the future. Think about the skills youâll use and learn, and whether this will be useful to your long-term career aims.
đWill this mediocre job give me mental space?
If youâre going to take a job that isnât your dream job, itâs important that it doesnât drain all your energy since youâll still be working towards your long-term goals. If you can find a role that isnât stressful and doesnât exhaust you, it could actually be a great support to you whilst you take your time looking for the right role.
đ«Whatâs the answer?đ«
Accepting a job that isnât perfect doesnât have to be a bad thing. Itâs a temporary solution that can support and enable you to eventually move onto something better.
Think of your job hunt like baking a cake; any average jobs that you take are just ingredients that help bring the cake together đ
Good luck!
