Vanilla Job

Thank you for your time reading this post.

I got an email and i'm not sure I'm clear with one expression I found in it.
It would be great if someone would explain me what 'vanilla job' expression means.
Here is a context:

Wondering how to turn your vanilla job into a glamorous career? Thinking you're on a road to nowhere with your current position? Open your eyes -- you can leverage the job you have today to find a great opportunity for tomorrow.

Thank you in advance.
