We all have them. The job you don't want, the boss you can't stand, the co-workers who make you want to stab yourself in the eye with a fork.
But there's more than one way to skin a cat -- and if you're like most people, there are probably more than a few ways you could use to get ahead at work.
Here are two tips on how to overcome your career weaknesses:
Be willing to admit what they are. If you're not sure whether or not you should be doing something, ask yourself: "What will happen if I do this?" Think about what might happen if you fail and how that failure would affect others. Then figure out if it's worth it for them and for yourself.
Make sure your decisions are based on facts rather than feelings or hunches. When making decisions about your career, don't just trust your gut; evaluate all of the evidence available before coming up with an answer. A lot of times when we see something as being good in our heads but bad in reality, it's because we've ignored things that seem irrelevant but actually influence our decision-making process
