The Misemployed
What do you want out of life? Do you want to be the big cheese? Have the trophy house? A good job? Your health? Happiness?
Are you tired of running the rat race? Knowing that you could run the company better! Looking for a way out? Looking to get through the maze and into the right job?
You are not alone - as if that is of any comfort. Misery is never motivating and loves the company of those who help maintain the status quo - “same old” is predictable and therefore safe.
Welcome to the ranks of the misemployed - a twilight zone experience. My word processor underlines that word, “misemployed,” with a red wavy line. The word doesn’t exist according to Microsoft or Webster.
But according to Dr. Herbert M. Greenberg, President of Marketing Survey and Research Corp., 80% of the work force in the U.S. is misemployed. The word may not exist, but the reality is that the people do.
And surveys indicate that these misemployed workers would change jobs today - not even a two-week notice. They don’t because they don’t know where else to go or how to get there.
It’s sad, but it’s been said that the happiest people at work are those who just found a job. If the fit isn’t right, routine sets in within a month - and 80% of the newly employed find themselves misemployed.
What to do? Especially when you are one of the misemployed.
Specific strategies on what to do abound but successful strategies are elusive and either carefully guarded or quickly discarded because they seem too simple.
If I were to tell you that many of the misemployed 80% could be better-employed within two months by following a simple recipe, would you believe it? And that the majority of the misemployed could be bettered in three months, would you buy it?
Listen, nothing happens unless I, the misemployed individual, own up to the following recipe.
You are already the boss! That’s the first step - realizing that you are already the boss - the boss of you. Each of us is a CEO, responsible for managing the career of your company-of-one.
The next step in the recipe involves a process that brings you into alignment with what you do. Congruence is the result - who you are inside matches what you do outside.
Many of us have been brought up to believe that if we work hard and do good work, then our career will take care of itself. If you work too hard for too long at the wrong thing in the wrong industry, mostly you get frustrated. Like a car out of alignment, your tread wears out on the edges ruining the whole tire. Many of us have not learned to find out who we are and what we like to do.
Dr. Greenberg again, “People often stumble into jobs because of a newspaper ad, a previous summer job, because a friend tells them it’s in a lucrative field, or some other accident. Few overcome their beginning.” Research shows that work preferences are expressions of our core career and job values.
The secret is to do what you love. It is possible to do what you love for a living. The trick, and it can be an easy trick to learn, is to know what you love. Knowing what you love is a strength, not a weakness. That is the best way for your company-of-one to be successful - be the first and most accurate observer of your own strengths and weaknesses, and then make decisions based on those observations.
As stated above, specific strategies to do this abound but successful strategies are elusive and either carefully guarded or quickly discarded because they seem too simple. Here are the steps mentioned above, listed as if ingredients in a success formula.
- You are already the boss! A CEO responsible for managing the career of your company of one.
- Bring yourself into alignment with who you are with what you do. Congruence is the result.
- Uncover and rediscover your values.
- Discover and recover what it is that you love.
- Do it. Persevere. Just do it.
This recipe for redirecting the misemployed can be rested with different words. The five — step basic formula is universal.
- Assume everything is possible, then figure out how.
- Bring yourself into alignment — who you are with what you do.
- Observe yourself, use your observations to make decisions.
- Find out what you love and tell others, they’ll help you get it.
- Do what you love.
There is another step. But it comes so naturally that everybody who goes through the first five just does the sixth perhaps without even realizing it.
Help others figure out what they love and help them to do it.
