So as we wait for these new resources, what tips can you provide to people who are right now experiencing job dissatisfaction and who need career contentment?
Never make a decision while functioning with a discontented state of mind. Get away, calm down, speak with friends, see a funny movie, keep a journal, whatever you have to do. When you're ready, then deal with your challenges and decide what you're going to do.
Stay away from jobs that fail to use your talents, require talents you don't have or talents you're not motivated to use. With a job like that, why even get out of bed? Stick to what you really love to do and are capable of doing, but also to the work environments that enable you to use your talents.
Realize and accept that nothing is perfect. The most satisfied people live and work with imperfect people in an imperfect world. This is not meant to sound pessimistic. It's an undisputable fact of life. Nothing is perfect and bad things are going to happen whether you want them to or not, and even despite your best efforts.
