Having hard time growing as staff assistant
Hello first time poster lol. I’ve been working here as an assistant for 3 years. Just passed my three year mark and I have been having an extremely hard time growing here at the institution.
I know some will say you need to leave. And I agree but I just hit my 3 year mark, and am heavily considering school.
Any advice on growing within the university? I’ve seen people do it and maybe I am going about it the wrong way. Like I said earlier I am an assistant and am trying to make that next step to coordinator. (It won’t be in my department, I will have to leave) i am trying to make an effort to fill the gaps in my resume with skills that I do not get in my regular day to day tasks, but just looking for some advice from other staff who’ve done it. Tried career conversations felt like I was talking to a wall. Couldn’t tell you how many roles I’ve applied to and I’ve only gotten maybe 2 interviews.
Thank you!
