Hi;
I am a recent college grad now in the work force. I work for a small company (70 users). I was hired to help the one man IT show, and am currently handling much of the help desk tasks, he handles everything else. I am very eager to assist and take on other responsibilities as delegated but he doesn’t want to give it up. My experience isn’t immense as i am just beginning but i do possess the skills to learn at a quick rate. It is frustrating sometimes because i’m just sitting there at times with nothing to do and he has a sleu of network projects that need to get done. I occupy myself by reading my study guide for CCNA, I would rather be working on more complex stuff. He is good at training and explaining concepts, but he does not want to delegate. He takes all the projects and works on them till he finds the solution; after that he has me deploy. I would much rather be working on the project myself, that way i have more hands on and learning. Is this normal? Am i too eager ? Should I be more patient about this? What do i do about my situation. I want more complex tasks. This is my first “real” job in the field, so i dont know if this is how it goes. Please advise
Thank You
