How do I ask for more responsibility at work?
Question by mavenofmusic: How do I ask for more responsibility at work?
I have a 5 year dual degree in music business management and music production and engineering from a very reputable school. I work for a major music corp as an administrative assistant; have been here 8 months now. Lately, I have been extremely bored and under-challenged. I’ve asked my bosses for more work, but they just give me more meaningless tasks like filing or organizational stuff. Nothing challenging, nothing rewarding. I push paper around. I feel extremely under appreciated and underutilized, considering the skill sets I brought into this job from my education, experiential learning and other professional experience in the industry. What other approaches could I use to ask for more responsibility? I WANT a challenge, I WANT to work hard, yet I feel that my best efforts to communicate this have fallen on deaf ears. I am extremely frustrated. Any strategies would be helpful!!!
