What to do when you’re being underutilized at work, you’ve become bored and frustrated, the job feels routine? CareerJournal.com columnist Perri Capell cautions against jumping ship too soon. In answer to a question from a restless first year on-the-jobber, Capell suggests making relationships with other people in the company, taking advantage of company-sponsored training and volunteer opportunities, and ensuring that you continue to do outstanding work in your current position.
