Ways to Make the Work Day Less Boring…When Admittedly…It Really Is

Some jobs are fast-paced, interesting and filled with excitement, but others can be a bit monotonous. If yours is more of the latter, your workday probably drags a bit. Time moves like molasses when you’re staring at the clock half the day, so you need to find a cure for your boredom.

HTSS, Inc. is here to help if you’re looking for jobs near Allentown, PA to shift away from your boring one. However, a dull job isn’t necessarily unsatisfying, so if you’re planning to stay put, use these tips to spice up your workday.

Befriend Your Colleagues

Work friends can turn an otherwise dull job into a place where the fun never stops. If you don’t know your co-workers very well, choose one to ask out for coffee or lunch. Keep this up and before long you’ll have a work crew to chat with in your downtime.

Take Breaks

Make your workday more interesting by periodically getting up from your desk to stretch. Go for a walk — or a drive — at lunch and beat your afternoon slump by heading out for a cup of coffee. The change of scenery will give your brain a rest, and you’ll be better able to focus upon your return.

Challenge Yourself

Add some zest to your day by setting lofty goals for yourself and working hard to achieve them. Doing your very best work will make you feel fulfilled and time will fly when you’re focused on something other than the amount of time left until five o’clock.

Ask Your Boss for a New Project

If your job used to be interesting, but you now find it reliably dull, you’ve probably just mastered all your standard tasks. Tell your boss you have some free time on your hands and request a new project to keep you occupied. This will simultaneously help cure your boredom and seriously impress your manager.

Expand Your Knowledge

Make good use of any extra time you have at work by acquiring new skills. Find free online courses relevant to your job that you can take from your desk. This is a great way to keep your industry-relevant knowledge up-to-date and develop new abilities that can help you do your job even better.

HTSS, Inc. wants to help you find a job that perfectly meets your needs. Whether you need to earn some extra cash or get your foot in the door with a certain company, our expert recruiters are here to connect you with a top Lehigh Valley employer. Contact us today to start your search!

CEO Letter

As a staffing and recruitment professional for over  30 years, I have seen many changes in the industry. Over that time, I’ve witnessed a transformation in the way organizations view staffing services. Today, we see more and more companies using staffing services as a strategic tool, rather than just for temporary fill-ins.

At HTSS, Inc., our focus is on helping companies create proactive workforce plans. Our goal is to help our clients use staffing strategically to increase capacity, overcome hiring freezes, access specialized talent, better manage increased workloads, and enhance overall productivity.

For our candidates, we help to uncover truly rewarding job opportunities—jobs that are a match to each candidate’s skills, and jobs that offer key experience and growth potential.

We look forward to strengthening our relationships with our current clients and candidates, as well as forming new and exciting partnerships in the future.

Sincerely,

Pat Howells
