- In this video, one woman tells us what happened when she realized she hated her new job immediately, and what she did to find a new position ASAP.
Based on an article by Bree Rody
Through weekly video essays, "Making It Work" showcases how real people have upgraded their personal or financial lives in some meaningful way. Making your life work for you doesn't mean getting rich just for the sake of it. It means making the most of what you have to build a life you love, both in your present and in your future. And while managing money is a crucial life skill for everyone, there's no one "right way" to go about it - you have to figure out what works best for you, full stop.

I want all young people to know that it's okay to leave a job if it doesn't feel right. There is no virtue in 'sticking it out'. I left what I thought was my dream job after 3 weeks. Then I realised my predecessor had only lasted 3 weeks as well. See the pattern? There is no shame in leaving something that is wrong.
I agree, there is no reason to stick around in the long run in miserable permeant job, that will only result in a burnt out and all the consequences that then will follow. If its a temporary job then I can see an argument why someone should "stick it out" as it has known end date, where it will expire. But I feel it also depends the length of contract and how far someone is into the contract. IF its its the early days and the job feels miserable and no way to shake the feeling the best course of action I think would be to get the contract cancelled. If Its somewhere in the middle of the road it probably depends on if the situation can be improved or not. If its in the final days then its probably best to complete it
My predecessor lasted 8 months, I’m on Month 4 and ready to quit. Job is not what was advertised
@@bdavi6457 but it is much harder to being unemployed. even though I hate the job it is better to have a job than didn't have one
@@Nabila-dx8xf It’s about perspective. Why work at a job that you give the most of your energy, doing something you hate. My mental health and peace is more important. If I can get “that” job, I can get another one.
I just left my job after sticking it out for a whole month. I just sent my resignation letter cause it’s my last day of the probation period and I do NOT wanna be stuck there for another month. Did it right on time. Ya girl here living on the edge by truly sending it a minute before 1/03. 😂
It’s better to learn that you hate your job 3 days in versus 3 years in.
Facts only.
Currently experiencing this after 2 years at my current job. Pays well BUT I effin HATE. IT. HERE. Covid definitely threw a wrench in my plan to find something new. I'd been searching and interviewing just before it hit.
It's an OK video, but I''d like to ask the author one question: how exactly did they find the time to: sustain their regular job, do the side hustle, learn new skills, do freelancing, learn to code, brush up on foreign languages, all the same time? Does she find the time to sleep or go to the loo? I am okay with this video's main idea (don't resign yourself), but I wouldn't want the young people starting their career to get the wrong idea and have unrealistic expectations about their mind & body'd capacity. We have to be rational and have realistic goals. It's not healthy to watch this video and expect to be able to do all these things at the same time. It would burn you out in less than 6 months.
Agreed. Honestly, I relate a lot to this video - but it's landed me in burn out city. My career has developed, but I am struggling to have better work-life balance and to create healthier boundaries.
I think when you get used to juggling a million things it's hard to know how to put on the brakes. Usually, I go to financial diet for the kind of advice that is grounded, realistic and promotes a healthy balance but this didn't really feel on brand to me. I know it's this author's experience, and I commend her for knowing how to remove herself from a bad situation but it feels like it glorifies that hustle a bit too much.
@@ay5576 exactly! Thank You for your input and insight.
Did you watch the video till the end? She clearly knows that the motive behind all that extra hustle was to find a better job opportunity, it's not her usual lifestyle. She relaxed when she got the job she wanted.
I didn’t do all that, but I did have a part time job, full time job and I was a full time student and that shit was HARD AF! I did get burned out, but once I was done with school and the part time job I was so good at managing my full time job and my time after that. I did feel like I would get maybe 6 hours of sleep to catch up with homework! It was worth it, but I don’t want to do it again haha
I’m wondering if the dance teaching, coding and languages were more hobbies than a plan to get a new job, but it made a better narrative this way. That way she might have felt relaxed during this time, and focused on the freelancing as her extra “hustle”. She mentions the job was really easy and was left alone, so she might have had more energy than being in a really tough job. I can’t remember if she mentions if she was living on her own or not, if she didn’t have housework to do or bills to worry about it would be easier. Not to take away from her achievements at all! It’s amazing what she accomplished - just don’t compare your own situation and beat yourself up.
These are honestly great tips anyone with a dead-end job can pull inspiration from. Sometimes to keep yourself from drowning in the monotony you gotta find whatever you can to keep on moving
I hated my first job out of college. I was flown to SF for training week which was fun and pumped me up for my service year. The first day in my region’s office was horrible and the culture of that office didnt reflect on HQ’s culture. My biggest regret was finishing that year out. I learned that it OK to quit, especially when I know it isnt right.
I just quit a job I started a week ago after 3 days. A lot did not sit well with me from the first day. On the third day at 9:08 PM (work ends at 5pm). I received a phone from the supervisor and was gaslighted & verbally abused. I quit immediately.
The fact that $40k CAD was enough to entice you into a bad situation is honestly just so telling of how poorly employers pay nowadays. $40k is around $2600/mo after tax. The average one bed or studio apt in Toronto is $2000/mo, plus hydro...
Hi! I'm the author of this piece. Yes, it WAS pretty terrible, but it was so much higher than what I'd lived on for two years, so I was pretty OK with it because I knew how to live on much less. Plus, when I took my first job in Toronto, I was stupid enough to get a place right downtown, a two-bedroom for $1780 (split with a roommate). This was pretty above average for 2012. But when I took this job I rented a two-bedroom in Scarborough for $1050 all in (also split with a roommate). It had a lot of disadvantages (I had to rely on my car to get around and I had NO SOCIAL LIFE). Nevertheless, I managed to "live within my means" during that time, but I'm in a more comfortable position now. Thanks for the comment though - I don't think people realize how hard it is in this field.
@@urbangarlic5152 No shade at all, I wasn't trying to imply any poor judgement or wrongdoing on your part! I honestly think most people would make the same decision, if faced with a significantly higher wage. Last year, people were still offering me $30k for jobs in the same field. My husband made more than that working at a Farm Boy. It's so sad. I feel like it's only gotten worse and more abusive!
@@sarah8028 Oh don't worry, I didn't think there was any shade or anything! I just wanted to clarify and assure you that I had managed to find a pretty cheap (albeit borderline-rural) place during the time because I didn't want you to worry that I was living in a completely dire situation! I agree that it's only gotten worse. The place where I made $30K still starts (and usually keeps) people at that despite the fact that the average rent has risen by more than 50% since back then. How sad is that?
I got a job in the finance industry, after the second day I knew it was going to kill me to work there, they asked me to do unetical stuff and have me way more responsibility that a new hire should have, I resigned at the end of the second day. I just couldn't live like that. Even if it meant to go back to babysitting I knew my sanity was worth it. Unfortunately not everyone has that privilege.
This is a great video, but I just have to say - I am baffled that this young, bright, and talented young person thinks 31k USD is an acceptable salary for their experience level and education. I am currently 2 years out of undergrad with an English B.A. and I work in communications (I get to write and do creative work all day). I bring in about 70k a year and I side-hustle maybe 5-10 hours a month on top of my 40hr a week job, and I live in a low cost of living city. Please know that I’m not commenting on this to brag but to be transparent. I believe young creatives, particularly women, need to know their value and stop settling for less. It is criminal how underpaid and undervalued the millennial and Gen Z generations are.
Love this! Thank you for sharing, I see this as an encouragement and not at all a brag. You didn't have to put this out there but you did and sometimes when you're coming from a low income background, it's hard to know what the possibilities could look like, so you do end up settling. More transparency about this kind of thing can only help, when ignorance leads to exploitation.
s a thanks for the perspective. I should clarify that I make 70k USD and am speaking from an American perspective.
Does the 70k include the side hustle? There's very little entry level to 2 years of experience jobs in this low cost city that pay that much, let alone with just an English B.A. It's pretty much just engineering and coding. I'm only making like 57k USD I think in one of those fields, but scheduled for a promotion to catch up with those mid range salaries.
IAmPattycakes good question. my base salary at my 9-5 is just under 68k. I can’t speak for every situation, city, and field, but in my personal experience, the trick was knowing my value and having the confidence to counter off a salary. My first job out of college offered me 36k - which is a fine salary, but I didn’t even consider counter-offering. I was so desperate for work and believed that I had shot myself in the foot for getting an English degree that I just felt lucky to get paid.
sometimes catie you are so right about knowing your value and to stop settling, it took me a long time to realize that
Today is actually the 3 year anniversary of when I started my job... and it HATE it! It’s the first job I accepted after college and was desperate for anything. It was supposed to be temporary and a “stepping stone”... then I happened to be there at the right time when they raised the minimum wage for the company to $15 (I was making $11.50 before) 3 months after I started. Then last year they raised it again to $18. Now I’m making $18.35/hour and have great benefits, which I’m very thankful for, but I know I can do more than be a bank teller... I have a damn bachelors degree!!! My low self esteem and the pay are what kept me around, but I’m at my breaking point.
Hello, I know I am an internet stranger. You are not alone and thank you for sharing this with us, your vulnerability.
This sounds absolutely exhausting.
I didn’t do all or any of these things when realising (weirdly enough, also 3 days in) that a job I had accepted was not the right one for me. Ended up leaving the toxic workplace mid way through a Thursday 2 months in and never looked back. This video is actually very useful in coping with the situation rather than giving up, so thank you so much for sharing it to the world! Wish I had seen it 1.5 years ago :)
Are you still active on this channel?
Love the diversity in the b roll! Really makes a difference as a minority when watching!
They are self aware like that :)
😂
Sameee being a certified nursing assistant was awful just made me so unbelievably m I s e r a b l e. I had to quit and change career paths automatically
Eva Stood - I'm glad you got out. I'm still there but planning it.
I'm in nursing school now and I cannot believe what CNAs put up with-and for such low pay! I will NEVER treat my CNAs like that, though I won't be able to do anything about how they're treated by patients. CNAs are so important to medicine.
I want to QUIT so effing bad... I work at a hospital as a Patient Care Assistant, and I’m extremely upset about it. Low salary, high expectations , and too much accountability......
Being able to work from home is a HUGE benefit. I dont have the option to do half these things.
I would never want to hinder an employee. If someone came to me to let me know they found a better position elsewhere, I’d welcome them to go to it and write a letter of recommendation (assuming they’d worked with me long enough that I could, if they left within a month I don’t feel I’d have the experience to do so). Employees are NOT your property and they don’t owe you anything beyond doing their jobs to the best of their ability while with you. I want to see them succeed, if I didn’t find them and/or their work positive, I would’nt have hired them.
Watching this video and reading the comments was invigorating for me. Thank you for sharing your experiences, it is important to know that there is always a way out and not accept something that makes you unhappy or insecure. :)
Thank you for sharing this story! Working at a place whose culture doesn't fit your values or interests can make for a miserable daily experience. A side hustle and learning new skills on the side is definitely a great way to make the best out of the situation.
I honestly can't picture doing all these things and burning myself out just to find the perfect opportunity. I already have a terminal degree. So...on top of it I'd have to 1) teach, 2) freelance, 3) learn coding, 4) learn new languages, and 5) still perform at the job I already have? Something doesn't smell right here. When did you SLEEP? Even if you do all those things, you might never get noticed. If you're in a bad situation, make a quick exit.
Your freedom is tantamount.
I hate my current job. It has the worst work environment ever. Actually I never had a job that I like. My current job its just convenient because its not so far away (I live in the country), the wage is not great but is not bad, its a 8 to 5 job so I have time for my 2nd degree on weekends. This video makes me think a lot what I'm doing to get a better one. The result is I'm not doing anything. Between work hour and my classes I always have a full plate. Im always struggling with the time. Even right now working from home 5 days a week theres no enough time. Im working more hours and the professors think everyone its at home doing nothing because of the coronavirus crisis.
Thanks to whoever this girl is. I needed to hear this today 😉🙂
Love the video and I Absolutely agree. If a job is a not a good fit and the boss doesn’t give you good vibes then it’s best to leave.
i'm going to come back and watch this later but I wanted to say that this is a really catchy headline lol! you got my click for sure 😂
Some not-so-hidden ads in there (Duolingo etc).
There are many gurus who tell you that you shouldn't hate what you do. But does hating your job actually hurt your other planes in the physical, emotional and spiritual realm? As I told my own subscribers--yes it does. If you despise going to work that is eight hours of your day you are unhappy. Plus the getting up in the morning for it and getting back home is another two hours. Which would mean most of your day, most days of the week, most of your life--you hate doing what you do. This will affect the emotional plane and lead to the midlife crisis earlier than expected. It will drain your energy and then guess what? You stop taking care of your physical plane as well. Then your spiritual plane will fail as you see yourself as just another insignificant cog in the universe. So if that life in the high suburbs is destroying your planes my suggestion is to either laterally change careers or downsize so you can at least be content in what you do---most of your time. Hope this helps someone out there---Charles
Why do journalists need to know how to code ? They're two completely different skill sets.
I need human interaction far too much for the tech field.
Lol I'm temping and realized after the first day that it isn't for me. I am absolutely broke and needed the money. I'm in my third week and just need to quit. This job is not the right fit for me. The temp service I'm using doesn't have anything else available 😞
Better now than later. I once was stuck with a horrible boss for 3 months, enough to give me anxiety attacks on my way to work. If it's bad for your mental health--don't do it.
I needed this so much! Thank you 🙏
this is so inspiring!! I’m glad i watched this video
I feel this in my soul rn
A smart man makes his money work for him or rather investments. There are many investments out there I have tried quite a few of them but stock trading has been the most successful of all. As I have taken my time to advice young, old and investors to try out investing in forex and stock market.
Good words , I have taken my time to learn forex trading but I have to a conclusion, that its not as people say. I have already lost a lot trading on a demo account, i don't even want to imagine how messy the real platform could be.
Well, it was frustrating for me when I started too, but I got better with time. Now I make up to $35k on a single investment with a capital of $5k. It's all about hard work and some good research.
With forex and stock trading, under the right conditions you stand a chance to financial freedom.
@@angelinagomez7851 Wow, that is a good return . How do you make so much? Can you share some of your strategies?
I don't make that much trading on my own. I trade under the platform of an expert in the forex and stock market by name Alexia Clayton, she has a cooperation where she trades for people who don't have the experience and skills to trade.
Great advice. It's important to know that with a little planning & effort we can change the trajectory of our lives.
It seems like everyone in these videos are college educated or learn at that pace. I'm waiting for a story from a factory or retail worker who made miracles happen in their lives without college or a partner. I could relate so much better to a story like that.
Same boat! I can relate
great video...but I don't think am buying or holding any stocks for now,I'll rather stick to my crypto currency trading
I think they'll still be another crash, Bitcoin investment is better
definitely correct
people fail to understand that Bitcoin can be a lucrative way of making money
trading Bitcoin is one of the best way of paying bills which also creates opportunity for crypto lovers
so no one is now talking about the stock market again, Bitcoin is now the best investment?
The story was excellent ❤️❤️❤️. The dance class B roll footage made me cringe so hard 😬😬😬
People complaining about not having a safety net, yet draving a car... :-D you should see what the life is like in other countries
One motive in video and comments - accepting job for salary reasons and not what you like. and why not have a network as journalist ? I worked in finance and we hired journalists for gigs because of their connections.
Great information
I find this video too vague and full of "Mr Wonderful" statments. I am still wsiting for an explanation of what "networking" means.
She does not state how much time she spent on every task. Networking on weekends? Studing every day after a full time job? Duolingo really certificates you as cometenten in a foreing language? (Oh please...). I don't know this is just another motivational video that blames people that no matter what they do, they end up in a job they hate. Not everyone can work in journalism, traveling influencer or blogger. Lots of people see their dreams crashed and find themselves washing dishes in a restaurant.
Stop the "if you work hard you will get what you want" speech because is a lie.
I hate my Karen boss!
Interesting topic. 3 days is such a lack of commitment.
Assigning people to a job that is not the job they interviewed for and accepted is a lack of honesty.
Nice clickbait
It gave incite and hope to a group of ppl
That's why you should listen to your gut if you get a bad vibe during the interview. I almost went with a job offer for something I knew I wouldn't truly enjoy, and had a sketchy culture (expecting people to work up to 60 hours some weeks and justifying it with "passion"), because I was so desperate for a job after searching for months. I rejected it feeling sad and worried, but later found something so much more suited to me with a much better pay.
yeah. this is the root cause of the problem
Whether it's an interpersonal relationship or a professional one: the red flags you ignore in the beginning always end up being the reason you leave in the end
I had a similar experience to this...had bad vibes from the interview but accepted the position anyway because I was desperate for a job. I’m sure that if I hustled in the same way this person did to find a new company I could have absolutely done that and succeeded. But at that point the effects of capitalism got me. Experienced extreme burn out and had to quit working altogether to recoup my poor mental health. Now I’m realizing that entire career wasn’t for me (advertising) and I’m pursuing becoming an electrician instead!
Go you!
Hell yeah! I'm going into carpentry! There's money and enjoyment to be had in the trades
That's what I wanted to do. After college, I couldn't find a job. Had to go back to factory work to pay the loans.
Wow this is soooo encouraging! I'm in the same boat and getting all my ducks in a row ready to leave. I moved cities for this job thinking this was a lucky break but turned out to be a sore disappointment. Thanks for sharing.
Same
I don't think you can feel guilty about leaving after 7 months..
Gandellion try 3 days😩
Eva Stood She knew it wasn't the right job after 3 days but she was in it for 7 months
Right!
@Gandellion That’s the worst feeling, I’ve been there, but I knew after 3 months, but been there almost five years lol (there are periods to where it get better, that’s why)
Debating about feminism 🤦🏾♂️
Neck beard energy
😂😂
I feel like it’s a kind of attitude not so rare in very male dominated environments 🤔 Anyways it makes me think of the time I was a technician for a very small volunteer webseries. I was the only technician and only female, and I had to film 30 minutes of 3 white dudes « debating » feminism and saying how they felt like it was going way too far and women were over sensitive about those issues 🤦🏻♀️ I couldn’t say anything since I was « only the technician » and the youngest... But I was facepalming internally the whole time.
I've always had mixed feelings about feminism, or at least what it has become. On one hand I agree with its goals of ending harassment, assault, and abuse both at home and in the workplace. On the other hand I feel as though the method the movement is using has degenerated into a mob rule in which people care more about being an ally than having their own opinion. It's sexist to question anything women say and I don't believe that is true feminism which should be inclusive of ideas from both genders.
Jacob Greenstone To be clear I wasn’t saying men shouldn’t be part of the discussion and that their opinion doesn’t matter. But having a public discussion about feminism without bothering having a women there, to me it shows that they didn’t even want to try to understand a woman’s perspective on those issues. And debating feminism in the workplace... that’s just not a good work environment. Because a woman is working in a male environment doesn’t mean she wants to regularly debate feminism at work (it’s just not the place for that). And with your boss, it just can’t be a good debate since if you disagree you might just not say it in fear of the repercussions it might have. I don’t know how she felt when this happened, but I know I would have felt very uncomfortable.
@@Naabeille I know you weren't saying that. And I agree. Women's opinions are just as important to the discussion as men's. Why anything political even has to be discussed in the workplace all the time is already a big red flag to me. Most companies just do it for corporate branding anyway. No one really wants to have a discussion.
And I completely understand not wanting to disagree with your superiors. I've worked in an overly leftist university office where all they ever did was call conservatives racists and assumed I had opinions that I don't. Which really hurt because it implied I didn't care for some of my best friends. But those people were also responsible for me receiving a scholarship for school each year, so I felt helpless in that situation and hated that job. Censorship sucks no matter which side does it.
I don't understand why people think it's okay to just assume all your subordinates agree with your opinion left or right. I just want my paycheck. If I wanted a political discussion, I'd join a debate club or go on the internet.
"You can't let yourself feel guilty for going after what YOU want & NEED out of life. You cant allow yourself to look at your misery & say you deserve this. The second you start doing this, you already lost"
Hi Celine
When I realized that I HATED my job, I immediately started applying for other jobs I thought I might enjoy. At the time, I worked a low paying job and I saw other people get stuck there, doing something for decades that they hated. I refused to let that be me.
Catherine
This video came right on time. I started a new job during covid. I thought it was a blesssing because it paid more than my last job and I work from home. I’m still grateful for the opportunity. And I felt guilty about not liking it eventhough I was lucky to even have a job at this time, let alone one that I can do in the safety of my own home. But when they say a supervisor can make or break a job, they aren’t lying. So I found the courage to apply and interview for new jobs. I’m hoping for the best and this video affirmed that I’m doing the right thing.
Yes! Your time more valuable than money
Please keep us updated and good luck!
How long did you stay on the new job before leaving?
You took the words out of my mouth. I was in this same situation exactly. Well still in the position actively looking for another job. I pray that you have found something that you are passionate about and enjoy! 🙏🏾
Looking for a job is a full time job. Kudos to you for pulling it off!
Every job is an opportunity or stepping stone to another. What's his problem?
*her
@@moviesgonewild1313 the commenter above is referring to the boss who felt annoyed that the lady in the video used her job with him as a stepping stone to the Web editor position.
Too many bosses expect unwavering loyalty from employees even though they'd fire you in a second as soon as it made "good business sense." We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by treating them the same way.
Hates his job,but cannot afford to just quit.bills gotta be paid
For a serial part timer every ,job is a stepping stone to another one never feel that about quitting.💵🤑✈
What an insecure boss
I had an awful job where I was told I was failing probation in less than a month. This is a very low level government job I was vastly overqualified for and where probation is at this level is mainly a formality. Everything from comments about my nationality, screaming, being made to wash their cups and having a 20 page excel document presented to me listing every typo I had made, along with replacing 3 other people drove me insane.
In the end, the bullying was so intense the trade union got involved and I was moved division. Don't be afraid to seek outside help or to leave a job, never ever stay paralysed in a job! The best day of my life was the day I left that building forever, my old manager was there sulking like a movie villian in a corner!!!
It took three days to know you hated it? I knew I hated this job within the first 24 minutes... Of the second day
I've hated jobs on the first day and quit them. There's no shame in it; if you know it's wrong for you, you know.
@@LeoMidori I was mostly making a reference to Micheal Scott from the office. But I agree with you. No shame in quitting for sure
@@LeoMidori Thats what I want to do with a job I started today. I feel bad for wanting to quit because I am the only one there who does what I do... I already have another offer on the table. Should I give them 2 week notice or just bounce?
@@moejazzie Well, you aren't really obligated to stay if you hate it, and especially if you can't change things from your position. I think you should leave, personally, but you should say why at the very least and perhaps offer some constructive criticism. Leave on a high note.
Lol, are you me?
Jk, I don’t live in Toronto, but I basically got stuck in a very similar situation - you described it almost *exactly* to the letter. It took me 18 months to get out because for a year after taking this job, I fell into the cycle of beating myself down about it (also because as soon as I finally mustered the guts to leave, COVID hit and my area locked down). My self esteem took a huge hit and I really started to doubt myself, but I finally realized that job wasn’t a reflection on me as a person and I followed almost the exact same steps/growth process as described in this video.
I ended up interviewing for a company earlier this year, and the position was too senior for me, but I really impressed during my interview. Six months later, as the lockdown ended, a hiring manager from another department reached out and told me the team was so impressed by my interview that they thought I’d be perfect for another position that just opened up.
...and I start my new job on Monday! 💁🏾♀️
Wow, this is really refreshing to hear about. I appreciated that you took us step by step through the process and made it easy to see just how much effort it did take in order to achieve your goal. Wishing you success!
Man alive! This lady is one tough go-getter. I think it takes alot of self-confidence to do all those things. Learning languages for fun? Taking online courses and teaching. It's like she really did 3-5 jobs because she hated the one. I'm not that talented.
This video came at the right time. Although you gotta be realistic: not everyone can combine work with side hustles, language learning, other courses, family life without feeling burnout.
I am currently working a corporate 8-5 job and while I don't hate it, I do hate being tied to a desk, with a dozen layers of executives above me, with little to no control of my financial future as there is limited upward mobility.
Thats why I started investing in real estate and also started my RUclips channel. Working to build an audience here and create passive income with rentals so that I can "get out of the rat race" and work for myself.
Hope you can make it!
Nurul Aulia Thanks Nural!
Hows the Real Estate working for you? Do you have another job that helps you in the meanwhile?
"Just because my co-workers didn't like me, didn't mean that NO ONE liked me"...UGH, I felt that! It's tough being at a job where you feel undervalued or unapprepreciated or that it's just not where you're supposed to be.
This is such a relatable experience. I think everyone, no matter what there are studying needs to take tech courses.
Tech courses are all either way too basic (like how to use Excel) or the material is only relevant for a few years before the tech changes. It is absolutely not worth it for everyone, just the people who benefit.
I totally see what you’re saying. But I think everyone can benefit from a tech course considering that the way that the economy is going. Sometimes of course means just watching a RUclips video about how to do things. (That’s what I do ) I’m a history major and if I didn’t have tech skills I would likely be unemployed
@@natasharobinson3359 I totally agree and wow! Can you tell me how do those tech skills help in your job as a history major? I'm very curious.
@@saniasinghania1183 Yeah for sure! I know a lot of museums and heritage sites are struggling to find new ways to stay relevant in the digital age. So, in one of my previous classes were used a hand writing recognition software to copy files online, instead of needing to hand-type every page. We than created an API so viewers can access the same information from anywhere. This is really powerful because it saves so much time and money for the museum especially when you take into account that many museums and heritage sites do not receive a lot of funding to begin with. In other means, knowing how to develop websites has shown to be extremely important because in this day and age if you don't have a good website it ruins your reputation. I gained this knowledge from WordPress in all honesty. But i would recommend learning HTML for more high paying jobs.
@@natasharobinson3359 Whoa! That is really really amazing. Thank you for taking the time out to reply, I appreciate your efforts to quench my curiosity. I wish you best luck in your job!
How can he even be mad if the job he made you do was different from the application
EVOLVE FREELY they do that ALL the time is more like it
"I pulled it off in seven months"
Yeah...that's a very long time to stay at a job you absolutely hate.
for me this is the most helpful video you've ever done, thank you! As an English major and student journalist looking to get into media/copywriting jobs this was so informative and interesting.
Damn i wish i had your patience. I always tried to find a new job within 2 months and usually successful.
I admire her hustle! I was considering just working two part-time jobs instead of looking for a full-time one to get out of the toxic environment I was in, which would've been easier in Canada because they don't have to bankrupt themselves to pay for health insurance the way we do in the U.S. Just know that whatever you need to do to get out of whatever bad situation you're in won't be forever and remind yourself when you're going through it. It won't be forever and you're worth the sacrifice.
lol me @ every job. this is why i'm aiming to become financial independence ASAP
The last line is soooooo inspiring. Definitely picking up on that 🤗
When you said after the 3rd day you realized you hated your job, i said to myself, don't quit that one until you have another one.
Then you mentioned the two things you knew for sure. And i said: You go Gurl!!
During the 2009 recession i was unemployed for two years.
I had graduated with a B.S. in E.E. I was under the belief that was sufficient to secure me a good job in the future, and i refused to accept something "below"" what I deserved.
A good friend of mine told me "it's easier to find a job when you have a job". Which meant, get a job, any job, then look for something better.
Here we are in the middle of 2020, and I have been unaffected by all the craziness we have experienced.
Good decisions tend to have a compounding affect over time, as do bad ones.
*That boss did not pass the vibe check*
Finally ! Love this series 💙
You can't let yourself feel guilty for going for what you want and need in life. You can't allow yourself to look at your misery ad think "I deserve this" The second you start doing that, you've already lost.
Coincidentally, I am doing almost exactly the same things at the moment. I have got my work hours reduced to half due to the covid situation and I am still waiting for my workplace management to give me a new schedule for September. This morning I was thinking I have more time to recharge myself and up my skills.
I really admire how you kept a positive attitude about yourself, and didn't absorb the negativity of the people around you. Instead, you figured out a productive way to find a path out of there to something better. I think all of those things you did -- networking, increasing your skills, getting counseling and teaching dance were also helping you feel in control of your life. Good job!
I feel this so hard but I have to keep this job I hate because I have to pay for my mom's cancer treatments..... I hate capitalism I feel so locked in..... And the worst thing is not being able to afford anything in this world
I did this with an internship that was off, it was difficult to pass up on the experience but for the sake of my own integrity, I'm glad I did.
I have just made a huge mistake and took a job for more money but the environment sucks. I’m in a mans industry and my second day the boss came up to me and told me everyone is talking “sh**” about me. So that was a great start. Can’t wait to leave.
I hated my job after 5 days because found out the boss was toxic. I fought back on third week and got fired right away. I was glad because I did not have to suffer longer as they had one month resign policy. The money was not even worth it to compensate my mental health in misery.
What if you're HORRIBLE at networking? What if everyone you call has nothing in your field? What if you're just not a people person? I guess you're just out of luck.
Got to be where we feel best and comfortable!! Great video!!🙌
This video saved my sanity (not only mine, I'm sure of it). Thank u!!💗
Sometimes you have to stay in a job you don’t like for a little while to get more opportunities to get the job you really want.
When your gut tells you to RUN before, during, and after the first day of Orientation.
I understand the general message of this video and I feel empowered to strike in a job environment that I don’t feel comfortable at, but I do have to say that I find myself underachieving in comparison to this girl and I question myself why I can’t do all the things she did, I want to learn more, get better at other languages of my interest, work out, eat healthy, go to the grocery and stuff but in my day to day life, I can’t find time to all of that and I don’t know why.
Great episode! 👏My favorite on the series so far 😊
Thank you for this. I am home from leaving a job that gave me the the same feeling as your experience. It really resonated with me.
I usually hate making it work episodes but this one was absolutely wonderful. Just the kind of videos that perfectly align with the series 's name, interesting and full of motivation
I'm confused if I should quit my current job and start a new job that I'm offered. This video really helped.
I love Making It Work
You could've stayed back with your parents while you look for a new job so you can quit it
This is so relatable. I'm at a job that I hate but now with this pandemic I can't even quit as no one else is hiring, everyone else is actually closing down or retrenching. My managers and my bosses are heartless and we are working 14hrs per day (overtime everyday). And when we talked to them about it that we wanted to get paid for all the overtime , well we were told to either work those hours or quit the job. I am so miserable at work but grateful to have a full time job. I really want to quit but now I can't.
I am so unhappy and sad and I hate waking up every morning.
Any news ?
@redanapalm i left that job, and I'm at a different job now. 🙃 less work hours & i now have a social life.
Similar to what I did 😭👍
Story of my life. I can usually tell in the interview. Its the energy of the building, the people.
These are my favorite videos!
Thank you so much. I really needed this
Good advice. Just don’t know how to implement this fully during covid...
Look at the jobs you want and start figuring out what you can do to aline your skill set with the requirements. This is something that I have to do now about to graduate and having worked in food and beverage for the last 8 years.
This was very refreshing and inspiring! Your gut tells you immediately when you are not where you will have happiness and peace. So glad you trusted it! #RUclipsr #YoungandAnestyUnique #CareerCoach #PrettyFiGeek
I particularly enjoyed this! Feels extremely relatable and actually this voice-over is incredibly nice and soo soothing!!
