 Wait, before you ever pass that resignation letter and jump ship, better read
this first. When you hate your job, there are times wherein you need to grin and bear it before you got another assured work waiting in line for you.
First things first-- you got to realize that not EVERYTHING about your job is that bad! Please don't exaggerate; oh come on, even if you hate your job, I'm sure that there will always be something about your work which will make you happy (aside from your salary, of course). Have you found well-meaning friends there whom you got along really well?
And don't forget that you may not like or you hate your job at the moment, but it doesn't mean that you have to rot in it. While working at your current job, see this as an opportunity to make use of your time in enhancing or developing your skills.

Okay, let's say that you can now master the perfect art of making coffee. Before, you don't know how to operate a photocopier, printer, fax machine, and because of your work, it became a piece of cake for you.
Think that you're being groomed to be a better person or employee. Don't think that it's all a waste of time in your work. You can attend your company seminars, free training courses or workshops. You can even learn new skills on your pc and ask some assistance from your colleague expert in Photoshoppe, or enhance your social skills by chitchatting with your co-workers during lunch or coffee break.
Set your sights on the ultimate prize. Especially when you wake up in the morning, stop thinking that you hate your job. It's best to establish a daily objective for yourself so that you'll feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment when you go about in your day-to-day progress. A caveat though: just do one thing one step at a time so that you won't get frustrated or pressured.
And always, always be a professional. Maintain your relationship with your boss and colleagues on a positive level. And don't even think that simply because you're an employee, it means that you're working for another person. Always think that your present achievements/experiences would be your tools for future endeavors.
