Benefits of Being Passionate About Your Work

Everybody dreams of becoming something one day. When we were kids, we all had career

interests based on things we liked or for some random reason. But whatever the reason was,

we knew that we wanted to land a job in a particular field. As adults, we have become matured

enough to acknowledge the places our strengths lie, and what our weaknesses may be.

Unfortunately for some, the interest we had as kids and our current skillset may not exactly be

compatible, so we are left with the jobs our skills can match. Although this may seem

underwhelming, developing interest in whatever job your skills can get you is essential as it

would improve your overall performance and is a healthy thing for you.

BENEFITS OF BEING PASSIONATE ABOUT YOUR WORK:

1. Increased Productivity: One of the major benefits about being passion about whatever job

your skillsets can land you is because you'd have a greater rate of productivity. You become

fueled with the motivation and the drive to complete tasks, put in greater effort, and gain better

results in your work.

2. Enhanced Creativity: When you're passionate about your job, you begin to think outside the

box and coming up with innovative solutions to problems.

3. Greater Job Satisfaction: Enjoying your work leads to a greater level of personal fulfilment

and overall happiness in your career.

4. Improved Engagement: Passionate employees are more likely to be involved in their work

and contribute beyond their basic duties.

5. Resilience in Challenges: When you are passionate about your work, you are more likely to

persevere through difficult situations.

6. Positive Work Environment: As a passionate worker, you'd be able to create a more positive

and collaborative working environment.

7. Career Advancement: Demonstrating passion for your work can lead to recognition and

opportunities for career growth.

8. Personal Fulfilment: Even though the job you currently have may not be as a result of your

interest but as a result of your skillset, developing passion for it and thriving in it can lead to a

greater sense of meaning and purpose in your life.

The Benefits of Having Your Visions/Goals Outlined

We all remember creating some sort of vision board as a project for a class in either elementary school or middle school, and at that time, we either saw it as something fun and exciting to do, or just another stressful homework/project. As we get older, things similar to a vision board/creating outlines for things we want to accomplish become essential for our everyday lifestyle, and our long term goals. Today, we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of having a plan/schedule or outline for everyday life, as well as long term goals. 1. When you have a schedule/a to-do list, you efficiently assign a sufficient amount of time required to complete certain tasks, rather than leave most things undone because of distractions or not having a particular guideline to follow. This is most prominent amongst youths as we often get side tracked by social media, or other entertainment factors that hinder us from completing our daily tasks. 2.

To Wear or Not To Wear?: Tips on dressing for success

So, the first step is over. You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic ! Finding an appropriate outfit can be intimidating, but with the help of Google it is possible. Second, the outfit you should wear is based on what type of position you are going for or what your potential company is. If it's a store like Macy's, for example, it would make sense for you to wear all black since that's the kind of uniform the employees wear. If you're working in an office setting, then you should go either business casual or professional. When in doubt of what to wear, go with business casual! Here are a few images of what business casual and professional ou...
