Probably, every person who values himself does not agree to mark time in his career and waste his potential. However, this problem is faced by many in the business area. In order not to overestimate yourself, psychologists suggest conducting a small test. It will help you understand that you are too smart for your job.
Instructions
Step 1
If you become unspeakably bored at work, this is the first sign. You get the job done, but without stress and pleasure. Don't confuse your minor mood with idleness. In the first case, you do not sit on social networks and do not play solitaire, but strive to help colleagues in solving work problems, looking for something more difficult than your usual duties.
Step 2
After work, don't you feel tired or satisfied with your work duty? This could be another sign that you've outgrown your position. Of course, the reputation of a competent employee has not bothered anyone yet. But if you have no competition and you are always head and shoulders above your colleagues, then this is a bad trend. After all, without promotion, you will simply do the work for other employees and limit your abilities and skills.
Step 3
If you throw a work problem for discussion with colleagues, but get nothing in return … If you generate new ideas, concepts for the development of the case and, except for the management, no one supports, criticizes or considers this, then you should move away from your colleagues and strive to the "older" employees.
Step 4
The workplace should be a comfortable platform for professional growth. Courses, trainings and special seminars are an indispensable component of such a process. If you understand that you are not learning anything, but only giving and wasting yourself, then you can safely think about the demand for a promotion or other work.
Step 5
Your boss should be a reference point for you, the main employee, to whose professional level you want to strive. If he does not have a clear plan for the development and promotion of the company, or you have to correct his mistakes, then perhaps you should consider another job. You are clearly too smart for your job and even your company.
