Joey - Every day is a new day for an opportunity to MAKE SOMEONES day! That is my outlook when I walk into the office.

I've had the opportunity to work in a range of companies and at various levels and to me it comes down to a couple of key things that determine whether or not my experiences are enjoyable. The first relates to the people you work with and the culture of the environment you work in. Regardless of how you look at things you'll likely spend more time with your work colleagues each week than you spend with your family (at least while you are awake that is). Get it wrong and your days will be long and unfulfilling regardless of how interesting the work might be. Get it right and the day will fly by. A positive, inclusive, collaborative culture with a diverse set of colleagues that bring different perspectives to the table is key to finding enjoyment in the work space. The second is to find a company that does something you are interested in or that you see brings tremendous value to the market. Being able to speak passionately about what your company does and how you contribute to that definitely increases the level of enjoyment you get back in return.

I truly enjoy helping develop the individuals on my team. Working with them to mature in all phases of their role at AT&T (presenting, business planning, managing internal/external relationships, and driving results). Similar to a teacher, coach, or mentor, I get the most out of my team's success and the pride they take home to their families and personal lives. I believe we work to live and while hard work is unavoidable (if you want to succeed), achievement certainly ups the quality of life, income, and one's sense of progress.
Earlier in my career when I was a direct seller, I really enjoyed the customer interaction, the pressure to succeed, and the feeling of accomplishment when I was at the top of the stack ranking. In our field, the constantly changing technology and customer demands kept the job interesting too.
If you had asked me what I thought I would enjoy about my career when I was in high school, I would have been overly preoccupied with the title, company, or salary (none of which is the cornerstone of my enjoyment in my career).
Are you looking to start a career out of high school or heading to college? If the latter, you have plenty of time to figure out what you enjoy and what you want to pursue. It's likely to change as you get older too.

First find something you are interested in ...... I have been with my company for 25 years now and I truly enjoy the position I am in..... Seeing the culture I have built in mentoring reps and watching them succeed with the skills I have thought is really my greatest reward.. Find a job where its not a job..... You need to enjoy what you do and not just go to work...... Build your future. If you ever wake up and really dont wont to go to work. Time to find something you want to do and enjoy to do.

Hi Joey!
First and foremost- my peers! Having team members that I work well with and being on a team where everyone values all input is truly rewarding in itself and speaks a lot for the company culture!
I also love that I work in a dynamic industry and I learn something new every day! It is never boring and each day is a little different.
I enjoy making a difference. I may be 1 person in a large company, but I am 1 part of a team that works together to make things better for the company and the people in which it serves. What we do together matters to me, because we are making a positive impact.

I have been with the same company for 11 years and hands down the most enjoyable thing is the people I work with. We are a small team but work hard. We all get along very well and are like family. This is important considering the amount of time we spend together. Being in the mortgage industry things are always changing so I like the challenges as well.

I love solving problems for my customers. I look for opportunities to be more proactive and prevent, rather than resolve an issue. While this is a good goal to have, it doesn't happen all the time but it makes me feel that I am adding value to my customer and my company.

Joey what do you find enjoyable? Collaborative or individual-oriented tasks? Hierarchical or flat corporate structure? Predictable/stable vs. reactive responses? Focused vs. multitasking? Travelling or staying put? Talking to customers or managing back office tasks? Often times younger folks like to challenge themselves in a fast-paced, start-up environment where they can wear multiple hats and be exposed to many different areas until they identify what they like or don't like. Others may want to start their careers in bigger, established corporations with better job security but they are presented with opportunities to rotate to other departments after learning what they like or don't like. In my case, I like working with smart, motivated professionals who are well-aware of our responsibilities and perform our tasks to the best of our abilities. I have rotated a few times in my career and eventually found my place in my current group which I enjoy tremendously.

Joey, I love this question! What I love most about my job are the people, the challenging tasks, the ability for me to give my opinions, and the stability.
As previous responders have said your team really does make a difference. It takes time to build trust and relationships however there’s no beating coming into an office where you can be yourself, be comfortable, and feel at home.
I love being challenged and not being bored. Although we all have tasks that need to be done that are as invigorating as others, the majority of the time I have projects that I am passionate about and excited to learn about the subject matter. I am always learning every day, which is my dream.
I am a very outspoken person and I love giving my opinion, when it is thought out. If I worked at a place that wanted me to stay quiet because I was at the “bottom of the totem pole” I wouldn’t feel empowered.
Especially during these crazy times (Covid-19), I am so fortunate to work for a company that has not had to lay off anyone and has shifted the priority to our employees while still providing value to our clients.

I work at a large corporate company and the majority of my job is to help other teams, business units, and departments accomplish their goals. They know what they want to do, but they don’t always know how to accomplish their goal. I enjoy working with them to learn what they are trying to accomplish and to think through all of the ways to get there. It takes some creativity, knowledge of what is being done, and the desire to figure out how to do something that hasn’t been done. When they accomplish their goal, then I accomplish my goal!

I enjoy the business culture and leadership environment of my job. Work colleagues are more like teammates that we count on each other to be successful. We trust each other. Trust is built on doing the right thing, having a strong moral compass, and leadership taking care of their team. Without trust, there is wasted energy and worry in the office, rather than being laser focused on work tasks.

One of the many things I enjoy about my job is that I have the freedom to be creative. I meet with my stakeholders, discuss their business challenges, and we brainstorm for solutions...
You can learn a lot by taking the time with getting to know your customers. Often times, they ask relatively simple questions... I enjoy building a relationship with them and trying to understand their goals and challenges.
In my Reporting & Analytics world, the knowledge I gain from connecting with my customers help me create reporting solutions beyond their original ask. It is very rewarding to see the impact my work has towards the business and our processes.

That's a great question Joey! For me at it's most simplistic -being able to solve challenges. Each of us finds something in our roles that we really gravitate towards more than anything else, for me it's problem solving. Being able to look at a challenge and lend a unique take on it - albeit it from my professional or personal experiences, and work collaboratively across my team to build a solution that at it's core helps others with a problem they have. I have found this intellectual curiosity and approach has been common across any role I've taken and propelled me into my next role or challenge.

I've been very lucky over my career to have worked in several kinds of roles, primarily in the Media & Entertainment field focused in consumer strategy. While my day to day activities and responsibilities have varied, the common thread among all my jobs that I've enjoyed the most is being able to tackle complex problems and utilize creativity and teaming (I love working with a large variety of people). It has certainly helped to know much of what the output of this work has done means something that yields a better experience or a deeply emotional connection to people on a global level.

I enjoy working for a later stage start up company based out of San Francisco as a "Sr. Recruiter." The work I do to find talent is very enjoyable changing peoples lives for the positive. I enjoy seeing the people in our company develop and grow in their roles with each quarter that passes. My day typically has a plan but there is a part of it that require me to be flexible and adjust, adjusting within the minute or times within the hour based on the business need. It doesn't feel like work to me and I'd say find what you love to do and turn it into a career.

Hello Joey,
What Brings Me Joy In My Profession:
ME:
My joy stems from empowering people to break free from the vicious cycle of health issues through nutritional education software. This journey began in 1994, even though my programming skills were honed as early as 1972. I took on the mantle of a nutritionist in 1976 and further expanded my expertise by becoming a dietitian in 1988. My academic journey includes a Bachelor's degree from the 1970s and a qualifying Master's in medical biochemistry. Encouraged by a doctor, I pursued a postgraduate diploma in orthomolecular nutrition, followed by another in nutrition and dietetics, and then public health.
