I got my degree in business 3 years ago, and worked for 4 years in a hell hole while obtaining it because it was related to my degree and gave me decent experience, but now I’m in another job. I have been at this one for a year, and I’m not loving it. Boring, monotonous, no growth opportunities, EXTREMELY low pay with no chance for raises, and yet demanding.
I want to keep my resume as solid and cohesive as possible, especially after staying at that one hell job for as long as I did just for the resume.
How do you all do it? I hear of people jumping jobs after a few months in, one after the other. How do you explain it during interviews? Does this work out well for the business/administrative field?
I don’t want to stay in another job ever again where I feel like I’m on the brink of losing my mind, but given the general state of bosses/companies/some coworkers, it’s hit and miss trying to find a good workplace with good people. Those first 4 years in my field have done major lasting damage to my mental health, and if I leave my current job for something seemingly better only to find out it’s bad, I refuse to stay if that ends up being a toxic environment.
