"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." – Confucius.

It is important to choose a career path that is of interest to you. The work assigned needs to be challenging and must stimulate you into producing quality results. Job satisfaction is a vital part of an anyone's work life. Lack of job satisfaction can lead to a build-up of stress and unnecessary tension.

Job dissatisfaction can be brought about by a variety of factors. Tight budgets, short deadlines and heavier workloads have led to an increase in the stress levels of the average employee. Low job satisfaction directly results in low productivity.

When applying for a job, have a clear view of the responsibilities and tasks you will be assigned should you be granted that position. This will allow you to effectively analyze the job profile and match it with your own. Analyse your skills and areas of interest and proceed to recognize a pattern in the way you approach work assigned to you. By reflecting on your approach to work, it becomes easier to tighten the loose ends of your plan. Once you begin to view work as being 'work', job satisfaction goes out of the window.

People often blame a sudden career change on job dissatisfaction. If you are unable to jump careers easily, then find new ways to make the work more gratifying. Set challenges for yourself with the tasks presented. Set deadlines and timeframes in which to finish the work. Not only does this speed up the work, it also adds a little adrenalin to an otherwise monotonous task. However, take care not to let speed interfere with the quality of work. Know your weak areas and purposely take on tasks that challenge these, as this will help you develop those specific skills. Take time out to reward yourself for your accomplishments. This self-reward system will motivate you to perform better. Learn from your mistakes and don't let them weigh down your self esteem. Rewards may come in the form of monetary compensation, career advancement and so on.

Strike a balance between your work life and the rest of your day. Learn to compartmentalize your day into work and other activities. This will help to avoid carrying work related tension onto the rest of your day, and vice versa.

The secret of job satisfaction is to find joy in the process of doing the work rather than the rewards it will reap.
