Thank you ! That was driving me up the wall

When you spoke to your manager did you ask specifically when the project work would be starting, or did you just say you weren't happy with the role?

I've been in that situation myself. My background was local government data analysis and that is what my previous post was predominantly marketed as. Instead, I was actually the office dogsbody (photocopying/doing minutes/organising meetings) and I knew I wanted something more challenging that that. I can only advise you as to what I did. Stick at it, whilst applying for other jobs.


I do data analysis for a high school now and I love it. You'll get there - just get on those job websites.

Themeone, yes at the catch up with my manager I asked when the project would be starting and I also mentioned I wasn!!!8217;t happy with the current duties.

Piggywinkle thank you, that!!!8217;s pretty much what!!!8217;s happened to me. I!!!8217;m the general dogsbody with no specific job role just whatever tasks someone wants off their to do list that particular day. It!!!8217;s very frustrating and I can!!!8217;t manage my own workload and beginning to dread going in. It!!!8217;s so unfair when workplaces don!!!8217;t care about how they treat new starters. No effort has been made to let me settle in at all. I!!!8217;m currently looking for other roles.
