It’s easy for people to give the advice to follow your passion. But sometimes following your passion isn’t what’s best for your career and for yourself.
Your passion is difficult to define. You may enjoy multiple things equally. Instead, you should focus on what you’re good at.
Your passion may change. You don’t always love the same things for your entire life. Even if you love a job now, you might feel differently in five years.

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.
