SCORING
If you scored between 9-14:
You have a high level of job satisfaction. Perhaps
you hear others complaining about their jobs and you wonder why they stay at
their jobs. You are fortunate to have a job that you are pleased with.
If you scored between 14-18:
You are generally satisfied with your job but
there are areas that still bother you. Look at what elements of your job are the
most frustrating, and see if you can do anything to change them. For instance,
if the drive to work is stressful, consider carpooling or taking transit. If you
feel that you are being overly supervised, talk to your boss about perhaps
taking on some added responsibility for the work that you perform.
If you scored between 19-24:
You, like many other people, are unhappy with your
job. Consider your job, and ask yourself if it is the basic elements of your job
that you find difficult or frustrating. If so, you might consider looking for a
new job. You deserve to work at a place where you will be respected and
appreciated.
If you scored between 24-32:
It is time for you to find a new job. Write your
resume and start hitting the pavement so that you can find a job that you will
love. Just because it is a job doesn’t mean that it has to be a chore: find a
work you love, and you will love to work.
