In reply to Rob. You're definitely right, Rob! I guess I didn't include this point because I wasn't interested in what I was doing at all. I just needed to earn some cash. (Definitely not good motivation, I know!) But yeah, definitely, there's always something to learn work-wise when it comes to crappy low paying jobs! And you'll get better at your next job :)

What you can take from crappy low paying jobs is getting insights into their business model. I’ve found really every business takes a different approach to things. Do what you can to pick up skills, use a bit of fancy language to make your skills sound impressive and try to move on to the next better gig.

In reply to Dragon Gal.

Thanks so much Dragon Gal! 🙂 I’m glad that you found value in this.

About the positivity – Someone recently commented to me that I made my life sound completely miserable being in my current corporate job. I thought about it and I realised that I had been a little too negative about corporate jobs lately. So I’m trying to keep it positive here, and it means so much to me that you realised! 🙂

Hey Liz, Very inspiring words–what you said about your job not defining you is really resonating with me today. You are so right–we are all much more than our jobs. We have so many roles in our lives! Honestly, focusing on what you can learn from a terrible experience is great advice. It is really keeping a positive spin on things. Cheers! Dragon Gal
