 Find out what work can feel like?  Share your experiences  Find opportunities  Seriously start working on your Coursework

“Hating your job is grim. It can make you physically ill. A huge amount of absence from work is attributed to stress. An experienced and, until then, successful manager told me recently that he had been to see his doctor because he could no longer eat, sleep or think straight. Whenever he heard his manager’s voice he felt physically sick. Indeed, when telling his doctor about this he burst into tears. A stressful job with an over-controlling boss had reduced him to total misery and an inability to function.” (Cameron, 2009: 14)

“In contrast, a challenging and worthwhile job can leave you exhilarated and longing to get back to work the next day. The difference between these two extremes is so important that it is worth making every effort to take the challenge posed ……………… and do everything you can now to ensure that your working experience is positive. (Cameron, 2009: 14)
