It’s difficult to separate our identities from our careers.
Our work takes up so much of our lives that we can feel it as a part of ourselves.
This makes it challenging when your career isn’t going the way you had hoped, and you need to do work in a job you see as temporary in order to earn income.
It’s important to appreciate that any work you do matters, but also that you are not your work.
So if you need to do temporary or contract work for a period, try to see it for what it is and keep sustainably working towards your next career step.
