Hello


Thank you for choosing Meracareerguide and writing to us. I completely understand your frustration but I also appreciate your responsibility towards your future as it is evident with you approaching counsellors at this platform. Do not worry as it does happen with lots of people. May I ask you in which company are you currently working and what are your current qualifications? I assume being a Marketing Associate, you must be at an entry level position at the company right? May be your company has a culture to not give challenging assignments for employees at the basic level so you cannot be blamed on that. Most of the companies have this policy to only offer routine work to entry level associate jobs and only when people move up the promotional positions in their career either with qualifications or experience, they get to work on challenging assignments that would offer something back to learn.

I advice you to pursue any of the following strategies to get work with challenging responsibilities and also offer you to learn a lot.
1. If possible change your career to a branded company: It might be possible that a few companies that doesn't stand branded will give its employees a tough time to learn at work. This may be because the company itself might not have challenging assignments but only has to do outsourced projects. If you can move to some other company like Ford, Hyundai, P&G, Nestle, Loreal, TCS, IBM or many others, I am sure the company's brand itself will bring in challenging and knowledgeable assignments for its people. See if this is a wise option for you. Also do not quit your job until you get an offer in hand.

2. Network - Try networking with people as much as possible. While you talk to people, you can also get to know if there was some person who experienced the same difficulty and what strategies the approached or implemented to overcome such issues. Also when you network you will get to know if there are high growth scope else where, as people may pass it on to you by word of mouth.


3. Upgrade qualification - If you prefer sticking into your own company, then try upgrading your qualification. You can either quit work and start studying an MBA degree at a reputed Bschool or even so a part time PG Diploma at any of the IIM'S. You can visit Hughes education website to know the part time Marketing diploma degrees offered by some of the IIM'S. This will give you promotion at work and will also ofefr you something to learn.

4. Internal movement - Finally talk to your hr asking if there is any internal vacancy. Dont tell them you are fed up with the current work but tell them in a more polished manner that you are looking out to diversifying your career and will be pleased if you can be moved internally into some other teams where there is lot of scope for learning.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
