You look at your life, and if you are not getting what you want, you owe it to yourself to do something differently. Research shows that 85% of people hate their job or are not engaged in their job. If you are doing something 8 hours a day, that you don't like, if it's not giving you what you want, if it's not giving you a strong sense of satisfaction and fulfillment, you owe it to yourself to strategically work to change directions. This doesn't happen overnight; it takes discipline and self-reflection. Discipline to continually ask yourself hard questions, and self-reflection to candidly answer those questions. One simple tactic to figure out if a job you are about to apply for will make you happy is the job fit analysis. It is a simple exercise that helps you objectively put on paper the job description requirements, company culture, and other important factors against your professional background and interest.
