Has anyone been in a situation where you are clearly not good at what you are doing but you don't even know what else are you really good at, nor do you have the motivation to learn something new? How did you go about finding what interests you? And did you manage to actually get out of an underperforming lowly employee role to a star performer? I'm beginning to feel that since I'm terrible at my current job, I'll be terrible always.

I was in the same position a few years ago. I think you need a break. Take some time off and evaluate things. Try to analyze the reason you are underperforming. Is it due to toxic work culture , difficulty of tasks , volume of work or bad teammates ? Write down your thoughts and see if you can change something on your end to make things better. Don’t lose confidence ... maybe your true calling is something else and one bad job doesn’t mean every other job in future will be bad.

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?

Both have become hopeless into their respective fields after looking for job and not being able to fetch any better. They want to switch to IT. My question is can they do this if acquired sufficient skills! I mean irrespective of their background, will a company hire them as a intern or fresher? If it's possible, then kindly suggest. TIA. 🙏🏻

Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.
