I love working in admin, but I have been stuck in this dead end job for more than a few years now without a raise. I also haven’t been growing or learning anything new since Day 1 because my boss won’t give me projects. However, even after taking many classes on the various programs I still haven’t gotten any new tasks.

If I had more work to do and would be learning along the way, I would stay. I knew I didn’t want to job hunt for more than 6-9 months if I didn’t have to. It also looks bad on one’s resume. And as I was working, job hunting and/or temping, I had to find other sources of happiness. Many thanks!

I also knew everything I was feeling was very true for me, but also confusing because if my boss didn’t need me, I wouldn’t have a job, I wouldn’t get a paycheck, and I wouldn’t have all this experience to put on my resume. How did I learn this? Outside of work, I started to take classes at night (and even on the weekends).
