Sometimes it can be difficult to break out of a routine. If you’re stuck in a routine, you may wonder how to solve your frustrations and be happier in your job.
Start by smiling more. When you smile more often, you’ll trick your brain into believing you are happier, and you’ll be seen as a more positive person by your co-workers.
Take a moment to clean your desk. Clutter can be a huge distraction, and when you have a clean workplace, you have a clean mind.

Most recruiters spend just six seconds on a resume. That gives you very little chance to make a good impression, so you need to do everything you can to stand out.
Call attention to keywords. Use words that describe the candidate that the company is looking for and put those near the top.
Don’t call too much attention to your section headings. You don’t want to waste space on these, when other things are more important for the recruiter to see.

It’s difficult to know if someone is the right person for the job through just a 30-minute interview or phone call. The way to judge someone is by their character.
Look for people who have grit. These people don’t let failure get them down. Instead, they find a way to make it happen.
You should also look for people who can work collaboratively. No matter what type of environment you work in, having someone who can work well with others is always a plus.

When you’re in charge of a number of employees, it can be difficult to remain in charge. Try and keep all your work relationships fair and equal with a few tips.
Make money for your company. When you generate revenue, it’s an easy way to get a raise or promotion and show your value as an employee or manager.
Don’t be dependent on your job. Always keep an emergency fund on hand, just in case you have to leave the job suddenly. You might also want to consider having an entrepreneurial plan.

When you’re trying to find a job, it’s more important for you to show, rather than to tell. And the best way to do that is with a killer portfolio.
First, figure out what you want to showcase. Make sure you choose to include the type of work you want to get hired to do.
Think outside the box. Just because your desired position is non-visual doesn’t mean there aren’t visual ways to represent it. Include reports, bulletins, etc. to explain some of your processes.
