Accepting mediocrity - Why 70% of people are unfufilled at work

We spend 80% of our waking hours at work, or worrying about work related issues according to UK author, John Lees. Yet, research shows that only 30% of us have the job of our dreams or really love our work. In an age where there is more choice and more new types of positions being created each year, why is this so? Why is it that more of us are getting burnt out and that stress levels are going through the roof?

"It's a bad time in the market!" "I'm lucky to have a job," "I'm too old," "I haven't got the education"...the list goes on, do these comments sound familiar at all?

Most of us are allowing these beliefs to hold us back from finding the role we really want and are instead, accepting mediocrity. Yes, the market is more competitive than it was 9 months ago, however, we must remember that at that time we were experiencing the highest growth in business activity and the lowest unemployment rates for decades.

To get the job you really want, you will have to be realistic and understand that there may be more competition in the market right now. With the right commitment, motivation and preparation you can overcome this. Two of my clients have secured their ideal jobs in the last week AND got pay rises.
