Summary: How to tolerate a job you hate
Name: Michelle Goodman book project (publisher is Seal Press)
Category: Business and Finance
Email: query-3pjn@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: book project (publisher is Seal Press)
Deadline: 5:00 PM PST – 18 February
Query:
Looking to interview people who’ve recently been at a job they
hated but had to stick it out awhile (perhaps for the pay,
perks, experience, or stability). What about the job made you so
miserable? The duties? Your boss? Coworkers? Customers? The
politics? Why did you decide to stay? What did you do to make
the job tolerable? Take walks at lunch? Check your bank account
for inspiration? Scan LinkedIn for other opportunities on your
coffee break? Negotiate a less odious role with your boss?
Offload some of your duties onto colleagues? Take advantage of
in-house training and professional development options?
Something else? How did you wind up leaving the job? Are you
happier now that you have?
Requirements:
Please reply directly, rather than having your publicist pitch
me your story. It’s fine if you want to use an alias and I don’t
need the company name; I just need to know how to reach you for
follow-ups. Please limit your pitch to no more than 300
words.Thanks.
