Answer 1

Hi,
Whatever u do, u must have job satisfaction. otherwise the work place wud be like hell. u either find a work which is in accordance with ur interests or start loving ur job. try to analyse ur hobbies and ur interests. think about how u can convert them to earn ur livelihood. every person has something positive in them. every person is good at something. u find what u r good at. when u do a work perfectly, u will love th ework coz u get lots of rewards and accolades in it. there was an actress at my place. she loved travelling. after few movies she didnt get nice roles. so she produced a program for tv, where she travels around the world and shows the places to viewers. she is not only earning but also enjoying her work. now say u like cooking. u can start a food business. or if u like collecting things, u can start a store for antiques. even if the starting is tuf, slowly u will excel in them coz its what u love.

the second choice is to love ur work. its bit tough. but u need to see the pros of ur work. may be u will start liking it.

All the best.

It's only been 2 months, so you're still proving yourself.

Do well. Take on additional tasks. In a year (I know it sounds like a long time but it isn't) you will be able to promote to another position in the college.

Working at a college or university is great because you get free tuition.

Hi there,

My advise, just wait a little longer until you have your boss' answer.
What I mean to say, is to make sure you have complete detail to make a consideration whether you want to quit or to move on.
If you do not have any answers from your boss, your decision will be made on a weak basis, you will probably never know what plan your boss have in mind for you.
Just wait until the answer is clear enough, then you can decide.

Thx,
Firdaus

A receptionist job is such that no can do for a big amount of time, you should consider moving to another domain that will comensurate with your qualification, you can also ask your company to shift you to a more meaningfull job.

Having said that, i still think that you should work in your current job for atleast 6 months before considering a shift to a new job.
