Busted! Modern Job Hunting Myths Killing Your Potential

Myths and legends are the stuff of children's stories, but when it comes to the world of job searching, tall tales are as common as it gets. Differentiating myth from reality can be difficult, particularly when you consider all the nuances of the modern job hunt. Fear not! Let's tackle 10 common job hunt myths and set the record straight.




8 Ways to Extract Potential from An Unfulfilling Day Job

 
You suffer through an hour-long commute (which is 
really taxing on your health) to sit at a desk for eight hours dreaming of running your own business (instead of coding the site for someone else's).
Postings for dream jobs are far and few in between. And bills come in a steady stream.

The majority of US workers (52.3%) are unhappy at work, according to a  new report by the Conference Board, a New York-based nonprofit research group.
 
The 6 Step Plan to Jumpstarting Your Side Hustle
 
Your best friend is working on her book proposal. Your brother plays shows at the local coffee shop every weekend. And your co-worker teaches yoga on Sunday mornings.
Starting to feel like it's finally time you jumpstarted your side hustle?
It makes sense why everyone around us seems to be putting in more time after-hours to pursue their passions: Only 28.9 percent of millenials are engaged at work, according to a  2014 Gallup poll. Gallup's employee engagement data revealed that millennials are particularly less likely than other generations to say they "have the opportunity to do what they do best" at work. This report suggests that millennials may not be working in jobs that allow them to use their talents and strengths,  thus leaving 70 percent of the workforce disengaged.
