OCTOBER 2023 46 ARCADIANEWSARCHIVES.COM In October 2016, we showcased our friends from the local breast cancer support group ‘Check for a Lump’ as they participated in a collaborative 5K run. Since then, the group and its mission have grown mightily. This month, they are running the sevent annual Pink Out 5K, one of the many annual events and promotions to support their cause. (See page 25). A t work, employees often wear many hats. You might play a role you don’t typically play in your personal life. You may go through periods when you put up with things at work that you wouldn’t normally be okay with. For example, if an office environment becomes unhealthy, you might just deal with it. After all, you have bills and a family to provide for. You can’t fight every battle. You go to work with the understanding that things are not perfect. Recently, a friend shared that they finally feel like themselves at work. They feel good, comfortable and appreciated. They feel like they’re in the right place. That sounds amazing, right? The simple phrase “I feel like myself” is enlightening. So often, we don’t look for roles that allow us to feel like ourselves. We’re simply looking for a job, a title and a paycheck. That’s understandable. If you are looking for a new role, keep this concept in mind. There will be certain roles or companies that align with who you are. Others will not. There are a few things to consider when it comes to finding a role that will be a good fit. Is the team inclusive? Will you be different than everyone else you’ll be working with, or does the company value people with diverse backgrounds? You should also consider whether the company’s values align with yours. For example, if you have negative feelings about certain industries, perhaps those are industries to avoid. If the company takes positions on social or political issues that you disagree with, you should take note. Is the management team supportive of their employees? A manager can make or break your experience. This can be hard to judge from the outside, but websites like glassdoor.com have employee reviews that are often fairly accurate. Don’t forget the role itself. What are your favorite parts of the job? Do you love managing people, or are you an individual contributor? Are you an expert in a particular topic that you find especially enjoyable? If there is something about your job that you truly love, look for that in a future role. If there’s something you strongly dislike, find a role that doesn’t have a strong emphasis on that. It’s not always possible to find the perfect job. Work isn’t always about fulfillment and happiness. Sometimes, it’s just important to bring home a paycheck and to make rent. If you do have the luxury of finding a job that’s a good fit for you, take the opportunity to look around. Keep your eyes open for a job that will make you feel like you.
