Hey guys, just a warning this post is quite lengthy so I apologise in advance, I just wanted to get this off my chest. I’m a 21 year old male with a bachelor’s degree in HR. In my 3rd year of uni I landed a role in HR as a generalist advisor. It was a great stepping stone for me, as it allowed working part time whilst also studying. I decided to leave this role around the time I graduated, as I didn’t see myself going much further in that role and wanted to make the next step up in my career.
I landed a permanent role working in recruitment and I was so excited to get started and see where the role would take me. Fast forward a little and I ended up leaving after only just two months. This was an extremely difficult decision, but given the circumstances, I felt this was the only choice. I travelled into the city every day which took over an hour, but I ended up doing little to no work the entire day. I ended up becoming extremely exhausted from staring at a screen all day but doing nothing. On top of that, when there was the rare occasion where I had tasks to do, I was provided with extremely minimal training (I mean literally the first day I had training at my desk where a colleague would show me what to do once then leave me on my own), which meant I was under pressure from upper management, and it eventually led them to pulling me into a performance review meeting not even two months in. This frustrated me to the point where I resigned.
I ended up being out of work for two months. I initially narrowed my search to HR roles, however I found the majority of these were too far away and I wanted something closer to home, so I started looking for admin work, even if it wasn’t permanent. I was successful in getting a role, and started early August. It’s only until early December, however I was content and the team is really nice. I was told there is plenty of work to do due to it being the peak period (which is why they hired temps), so I was confident that I’d have work to do. This now takes us to present day, where I am doing basic admin work, however I’m in a very similar situation, where there’s very little work to do. I guess what frustrates me is that I was told there would be work but there isn’t. To be honest, it’s fine at the moment, it’s only until the end of the year, so I’ll just have to push through it with the hope of work picking up a little bit.
Over the weekend I spent time with family. They asked how my new job is going, and I said it’s good and all but it’s a bit boring. I should mention I thrive off being productive, so being in jobs that don’t offer this is quite difficult for me. My family were asking me if this sort of work is right for me. My grandfather even joked about the prospect of becoming a truck driver like him. They all know I’ve never been a physical labour sort of worker, and would always lean towards corporate work, however I have been doing some research and I wouldn't mind trying out some sort of physical work. The discussion we had left me thinking quite hard about where I want to go after my temp role finishes. Is the corporate life actually where I want to be? Due to my bad experience at my previous job, I’ve actually lost a little bit of passion for working in HR. Am I to expect all jobs like this to be boring and offer no work? It’s really difficult but intriguing to think about this.
Where do I go from here, what do I do, should I consider going to a completely different work environment/industry? I really appreciate everyone’s input into this, and again I’m sorry for how long this is.
