I don't know if my current job suits me. Criteria for judgment when troubled

 I don't have big ambitions like wanting to be very successful at work, but I want to do well somehow. Introducing "work hacks" that update the usual way of working.

In this work hack, columnist Eri Yoda gives advice on worries about whether the current job is right for you.

Worried about whether your current job is right for you

I am currently working as a salesperson for a web page production company. To be honest, what I'm doing is difficult, and I can't even be interested in professional things. However, there are moments when I feel rewarded when I see that the page I was in charge of has been uploaded.
Considering that I will continue to work in the future, I am unsure if this job is right for me. What criteria should I use to judge whether a job is suitable or unsuitable?
(30s/Sales)

Is my current job suitable for me?

I think everyone has thought about this theme at least once.

What exactly do you mean by "matching"? If you think it's fun, is it right? Is it suitable if you can do it to some extent? But what if you can do it but it's not fun at all? On the other hand, what if you like it but you're not good at it?

……When you start thinking about it, it becomes difficult to understand.

I think that each person has their own opinion, but I think that at the point of "continuing", it suits that person to some extent. .

Because if your aptitude is zero, you won't be able to get the job in the first place. Or it will be difficult to continue.

For example, if you can't do your job well even if you ask your boss or seniors to support you, saying, "I want you to teach me because it's difficult," not only you but also those around you will start to think, "What's wrong?" In some cases, you can change to a different department or job).

Even if you can do it without support, if you are tired, you will give up saying "I can't do it anymore", or even if you don't do it, you will eventually get sick.

When I was around 30, I was able to do it, but it was a slow job. I once fell down on the way to a convenience store. I was keenly aware that I wasn't suited for it, and I couldn't continue like this.

Well, as for you, it looks like you haven't boiled down to that yet. However, he said, "What I'm doing is difficult, and I'm not interested in specialized things." I understand. There are such fields. I think it might not be suitable for you.

However, he says, "There are moments when I feel rewarded when I see the page I was in charge of being uploaded." Very important here! A word that foretells great possibilities.

So it's a proposal. If there's something about the web page you've worked on that you think is good, why don't you ask the creator about it? In short, ask questions such as how it is made and what points are taken into consideration.

Even if it's a technical thing, if you know what the technology is connected to and what kind of effect it has, I think you'll understand it more than if you didn't know anything.

Also, enthusiasm creates enthusiasm and is transmitted. Knowing the intentions and enthusiasm of the creators and gaining confidence in the product should increase your motivation as a salesperson and the persuasiveness of your words.

How about doing it little by little first? I think it's fine to decide if it's suitable for you after that. Good luck!

Point.

・As long as you continue to work, there is a high possibility that your current job suits you to some extent
.
It will be easier to remember if you know whether it is connected to
・Knowing the enthusiasm of the producer should increase your motivation for sales work!
