1. Being stuck indoors all day and seeing your family less that you would like to. \n2. Dealing with narcissists who believe the world centers around them.\n3. Being forced to care about things you wouldn't normally care about in your leisure.\n4. Going to meetings that never start on time, always end late, and usually accomplish nothing.\n5. The lack of a linear relationship of hard work to compensation. Typically takes a long time to rise up in an office.\n\nNeed I go on?

Are you asking if its hard to become one or being one?? it depends on where you live as far as the education process and it depends on where you work at as far as how tough your job will be.

I am a Office Depot fan...I have never had a problem with them but what I would do is talk to the employees a few in each store happy people do great work they have to care about their job to have any type of pride in it.

Not hard at all, but you'll get a lot of the crap work that nobody else wants to do.  Tons of filing and photocopying.  If you don't mind that stuff, go for it.

Start by talking about the size of the space. Give information about windows and blinders etc that are in the office. Talk about things that are also available like cabinets, desks etc that are normally left behind by former renters. Any new paint job done, or simply say recently painted if not sure. Talk about utilities, coffee room, washroom, power and phone outlets etc, Talk about office proximity to lunch stops, restuarants etc, also if there are windows in the office overlooking the outside world (be creative)

I love my job at this real estate office.  Love the people, money, raises!  But it's so boring cuz it's just repetition all the time every month....same thing always.\nI'm working on an art certificate at the moment.  Interested in photography and crime scene photography.  Neither would be boring.  Just need to figure out how to get into crime scene photography.

First of all, I appreciate you to think about this and ask a question openly here. That shows you have recognized a problem and willing to do something about it. That is a big step. This is a tough question and I will do my best to answer briefly.\n\nYou are going to do few things to understand yourself. Here are my suggestions. 1) Think calmly and deeply (while driving, while taking a bath or whatever brings you that concentration) on what where the times you were happy doing your job. You have to go back in time in your current job, in your previous jobs, and even in other activities that you may be involved in. Start jotting down notes. 2) Start analyzing those events and you will find a common pattern such as "I am very happy when I interact with customers a lot at work" or "I am very happy researching and analyzing a problem all by myself and coming up with ideas". 3)Think about what makes you upset or bored in your current situation - Is it because your boss does not respect your inputs? Too much office politics? Personal problems? 4) You just do not like your job -- may be your job demands a lot of interaction with customers but you do not enjoy that. 5) You think you are not compensated well? - may be a lost promotion or you feel that your friends who do similar work get paid much more? It could be even as simple as you do not enjoy flexibility in office timings whereas your personal demands need it. \n\nOnce you have given thought to these things, you will feel confident. Ask your boss for some time to talk in depth. Prepare yourself well for the meeting so that you are to the point and explain what gets you excited and what keeps you motivated. Good luck.

Are you in a leadership role? Cuz I went through this at a Call-center that I ran, and I put out a MEMO that stated something like, "Personal Hygeiene On the Job" And listed a few basic requirements like showering, washing hair, clean & ironed clothes, brushing teeth & using mints if necessary. Then I stated at the bottom, "most of us are doing a great job coming to the workplace clean and tidy, but maybe a few of us need a reminder, to keep the office looking and smelling it's best".....It worked !!!!

I have found that it is usually best not to mix work life with personal life.  Sure, sometimes people get lucky and become friends through their jobs, and nothing bad happens.  But often the person you become "friends" with will try to take advantage of the situation, or worse, one day may get promoted and become your boss, creating an awkward situation.  Co-workers especially in an office) tend to be back-stabbers who will stop at nothing to get ahead.  They just might "accidentally" tell the boss about a mistake you made and corrected.  Or put you in a position you do not feel comfortable being in (lying to cover for them).  Or steal the promotion/raise that you were supposed to get.

The role is very similar to that of an administrator or senior secretary.

Working in the hotel industry is great, for one it is always different, no day is the same, every day I come to work I am confronted with a variety of issues from appreciative customers to insensitive customers from great employees to not so great employees.\nHowever the most interesting thing about it is the people I get to meet a smorgasbord of variety.

One of the largest challenges is fixing something that average computer users who "know what they are doing" messes up. Another is when multiple computers are down at the same time and you need to get them all going quickly. But helping people and knowing you are doing a great job is rewarding. You can also go to most any company and become a valuable member of the staff.
