Message Name: When should I pull the trigger
Date Posted: 10/16/2002
Message: For the first two years out of college I worked for two different companies as a Commerical Banking Credit Analyst. I quit last october because I grew very bored with it and realized that that field wasn't what I wanted to do. So 7 months later in May, I needed a job and took a position in the Corporate Communications department of a financial research firm. The pay is ok and I am looking to pursue a job in marketing. Right now I am not on any career track and I have no idea if this job will lead me anywhere inside the firm to something moore interesting. Right now I take phone call inquiries from the outside (kinda like customer service) but also do some career enhancing work. But beleive me this is just a money job and isn't that enhancing. My question is, since I've had three jobs in three years when should I leave this job for a better marketing job once I realize I won't move up here? Should I stay here for two years and answer phones just to show some loyalty on a resume? Please help me I feel like I'm not moving anywhere.
