To improve your workplace experience and job satisfaction, career coach Joel Garfinkle suggests asking yourself these questions:

Which aspect of your job do you like best? How can you do more of that?
Who in your office excels and enjoys their work? What could you learn from them?
Which of your boss’s responsibilities could you take on? Initiative like this makes you an obvious choice for promotion.
Who would you like to befriend at work? Befriend someone special at work and you’ll benefit personally and professionally.
