Companies know that they have to give their employees new skills and responsibilities if they want to hold onto them. It might also be time to move on. If you don't have time to work this job while you look for another, you might ask your boss to consider cutting your hours to part-time; even if she or he can't promise to do that for you until your business's "slow season." With part-time hours, you can distribute your resumes, send thank you-notes to anyone who will even talk to you and you can interview at other companies. When you sense that you've found a position that looks like it would make you significantly more happy, skilled and/or significantly better paid, take the job while you give two weeks' notice at this original job. Be willing to start any new job; immediately; as long as you start it around your hours when you give your last job two weeks' notice.<br><b>References : </b><br> Do not feel guilty if you want to ask for your boss to give you more and/or different responsibilities.

Do your work and keep your nose out of the politics. For having confidence, do the best job you can and ask for help when you need it. If you do not ask for help and you do need it you could fall behind in getting the job done. For getting the boss to give you more responsibility, just ask for it. Explain to your boss that you feel that you are ready to take on more responsibilities or bigger projects. Good luck<br><b>References : </b><br> For surviving office politics my best advice is don't choose sides. Do your work and keep your nose out of the politics.
