What is your real job description?

Majority of us work. We hold jobs and careers. At the workplace, it is common you having a job description document for the job you do. It specifies your job title and the different responsibilities you perform.

Because we think we hold jobs in that particular organization only, we limit our efforts to that institute. We think we are limited because we hold jobs in that organization. We need to focus there only because there is we receive our monthly salaries from.

Then a question that crosses my mind in this context is: What is really our job description looks like? If we think outside the box of our current organization and job description templates that we are being given, what other tasks and activities we could be doing as well? If we let go of should and must and allow ourselves to be emotional labourers for the industry as a whole and the community and not just that organization, where we would be going today?

This type of reflective thinking relieves you from the limitations and bounds of your particular organization. It doesn’t matter if processes, structure and work environment in your organization don’t allow you to perform to your maximum potential. Go beyond that. Open yourself up to volunteering your job skills in other organizations. Offer your services with pay or without pay to tap into your inner potential. Go on and do your best in your field and industry. Don’t wait for permission or approval. It is only you who needs to go out there, approach, seek, have conversations and make things happen.
