Tips on maintaining a positive attitude at a job you can’t stand? I hate my current place, but I don’t want to leave yet because of the state of everything. I feel bad even applying when I know other people are actually unemployed and need those jobs.

Take breaks during the day for a walk, podcast, etc. Don’t let people get under your skin.
Don’t feel bad about applying because you leaving will also leave an open role (theoretically) for someone else.

This is the right attitude. Going for a position that attracts you leaves your current position open for someone else who wants to do that job. Everyone excels at something different, don't feel bad.

Don’t feel badly OP. Just pay it forward. If you get a new job, let others know of the vacancy at yours and who to send their links to. Good luck!

I hate my company and I’m trying to leave. If I do there’s a CD position open for someone else. So don’t worry about that part. That’s a wash. As for the positive attitude, take a second when you’re getting frustrated and think of things/ people you are grateful for. I hate stupid stuff like this but it does help. Stop doing 100%. Do 80% and likely no one will notice. And turn your zoom camera off when you’re not talking so you can make faces about what everyone is saying. Also highly recommend live joke texting about annoying shared meetings with trusted coworkers.

Uhhh. Just keep being thankful. Use your uncaring attitude to take more risks.

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.

What's Your Take?:

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.
