A good place to begin regarding strategies for dealing with a job you hate is to do an informal skill assessment. What are your strongest skills? How do you know that? What are the accomplishments that you are most proud of in the past? Along your business career what are the most consistent feedbacks about your skills? What are the skill areas you would like to develop? Are there any opportunities in your current position to develop these? Describe the best possible working environment for you? Do you thrive within a team or prefer to be a solo flyer? What would you like others to say about your contributions?
