I finished the week feeling like I had done a lot, but not one big thing I could point to. Just steady effort, problem solving, and keeping things moving. How do you validate your work when it does not come with obvious wins?

In my previous role, we had to submit to our manager what we completed last week and what we are planning to work on this week. Whenever I had a week like yours above, I used to fear for my job. But I always try to turn this around by showing something small as progress for something big is coming like this is the first step or planning step.

I find I'm constantly fixing small issues and never find time to tackle the big things. Keeping things moving is most of the job at the end of the day!

I think it’s important to consistently check in with your manager for the work you’re doing. They might be able to give you reasons to support what you are doing is necessary. If you want to make impactful changes you can identify problems and solve them yourself and then propose the solution

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.
