Q: I work for an insurance company but I hate my job, I'm 24 and feel stuck. What should I do?.

 

A: Well you didn't give me much to work on so I will be general. You didn't tell me if you dislike the actual work, the work environment, the people or the fact that you feel you are not advancing quickly enough.  If you are just bored, ask your manager if you can take on additional responsibilites that interest you. Are you a good writer? see if you can start a company newsletter. Are you creative? perhaps you can suggest ways to make your office life more fun. Are you social? perhaps you can arrange a team that is a laison between management and staff. If it is a personal issue, confront the reson for your problem in a professional way, this almost always works out as any communication issues can be resolved. If you are not advancing quickly enough, look at yourself objectively. Are you really doing exceptional work? Can you do better? Talk to your manager and ask what you can do to be recognized. If it is the actual job, you should seek to change careers into something you would enjoy more.
