Hi, I'm Pat Goodwin with Pat Goodwin Associates. The question for me today is how to give up
job satisfaction for a higher salary, and once you've made the decision that you are
willing to give up job satisfaction for a higher salary, then I would encourage you
to take a look at what is it that you can do in your skill set? What is it that you're
willing to do? And then, what type of business do you feel like that you would fit into.
So you have been, I understand the question, you've been satisfied in your job, you're
just not making enough money. There's a lot of people in that position, so they are willing
to give up a little job satisfaction to make more money, and and may in order to make more
money, the requirements sometimes are a little bit different from the job description. So
you may increase your job requirements. You may find that you are working a number of
hours that are a little bit longer than what you've had before. You may find that the place
and the culture of that organization is not as compatible with what you've been doing
before, but based on your skills and the value that you bring, they would like to hire you
and you have made the mental adjustment and thee attitude adjustment that you're going
to do the job, you're going to do whatever it takes to do the job and your reward, your
pes...personal reward is a higher salary, so they are tran...there's there's a transfer
or a sacrifice that you make from giving up one hundred percent of job satisfaction to
making a higher salary. But it is attainable, and it is doable and it all begins with your
expressing the value that you bring, being able to adjust mentally and with an attitude
of going into that job with a positive attitude and a "can-do" attitude that I can do this
job, I am going to do this job, and the reward for me is financial satisfaction.
