In the age of quiet quitting, it can be hard to find a job that reflects your passions. The term “professional happiness” is subjective, writes John Peitzman for Entrepreneur. The way to find satisfaction in your 9-to-5 is to ask yourself the following questions, according to Peitzman:  

What do you like to do? 

Consider your ideal routine and work environment. Write down a list of things that you enjoy in a professional setting ie: creativity, flexible schedule or working in teams.  

What are your strengths?  

This requires another list of skills that you excel in in a professional context. Use these strengths to guide you on a career path that uses them.  

Do the two intersect? 

Look at the two lists and see if there’s an overlap. Peitzman says that this can help you define what makes you happy. Do you enjoy things that you’re good at on a professional level? Or are you looking for a new skill?  

Does your current job allow you to merge your strengths and passions? 

Even if you’re content at your current job, this could help allow you to create a new role for yourself. Peitzman writes that this shows dedication and initiative.  

What’s the next move? 

You may not be able to redefine a role or find a promotion at your current job. This means you might have to venture out and tap into your network to see what else is out there.
