Causes of Chronic Joblessness

There are numerous reasons to stick in a job position for long. If you are good to crack interviews but can’t retain a permanent position, then maybe there is a chance that you have a few of the factors discussed in this article present in you.

Lack of Soft Skills:

It’s important to have a trade or technical hard skills to have a job, but this only helps you half to keep the job. Other crucial half are your soft skills; i.e. interpersonal communication, teamwork, adaptability, self-management, problem-solving, and analyzing skills. It helps you to succeed to hold your position within an organization. Without them, sustaining employment for long would be difficult.

Low self-esteem:

Self-esteem serves as a motivational function that helps to explore one’s full potential. Most of us side-line this as a non-issue. But often your joblessness or not being able to stick a job can be related to this deepest problem. Doubting your ability, thinking you are unable to perform any task given and believing that somebody else can do this job better than you, will not help you to sustain your job. These all are a common example of low self-esteem. And what you think about yourself directly affects your performance and productivity.

Mental Health:

Mental health can interfere with your ability in the workplace. Mental health conditions like stress, anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict all severely affects job performance. And you are probably aware of it, as it causes problems to concentrate on a particular topic or communicate effectively. According to a recent survey, a 20% chance is there that a person is struggling with internal problems if he underperforms his professional responsibilities. In a simple word, after working hard or having all the skills required for the position, you cannot keep a job if you are suffering to self-regulate.

Be On Time: Be punctual with work without making excuses for not doing your work to win points from your boss. If because of any personal issue you haven’t complete the task, you can ask for a meeting to your employers to explain the situation. Most of the boss, will be flexible and sympathize if the situation is serious enough.

Be Flexible: Flexibility is one of the vital components to stick to your job. If your schedule permits you can consider volunteering when your company needs someone to put in some overtime, change shifts, or to take new tasks.

Work Hard: It’s not a crime to spend a few moments on social media, but do focus on your job and give them time to your job, for that you are getting paid. Make sure to be one of the productive employees of your company.

Keep Your Work and Social Media Separate: Even if you have issues with your boss or you do hate your job, keep those facts to yourself or only trustworthy family and friends of yours. Do not post any of your discontent about your job-related issue on social media, as there is a chance that a wrong person will see it. That can even cost you losing your job.

Be Positive: A positive attitude towards your work-environment also plays a good role to keep your job long-term.
