Generally speaking, entry-level jobs are hard. But some take it to heart and feels that they are unsatisfied at how things are going which leads them to a feeling of unfulfillment.
"You don't find your entry-level job fulfilling? Shocking. Most aren't meant to be," says Taylor Lutkewitte, a staff writer from Elite Daily.
Employees leave their entry-level jobs for various reasons. A recent Jezebel article highlighted millennials wanting to quit their post-college jobs because they're not satisfied or are unhappy. People leave companies because their roles are not as fulfilling as they thought it to be. It always comes down to company and culture.
But that feeling is normal. The article goes on to say that it's a challenge in career-life. And that not everything is supposed to be an instant gratification. Lutkewitte writes that these entry-level jobs are stepping stones. These are early positions that would lead you to greater heights for the meaningful job that you're really after. In a professional and corporate environment, the only way to get to the top is to start from the bottom.
Lutkewitte continues to explain that the feeling of unfulfillment will pass after employees get over the learning curve. "I had trouble seeing how my contributions fit into the big picture, and how they would help me advance in my career," he says.
What is Lutkewitte's piece of advice for entry-level employees? "Do you want to know how to be happy with your entry-level job? Don't expect anything." He goes on to add that you have to work for it and it takes time. That feeling of entitlement should go away because doing the grunt work isn't glamorous but it pays off in the end.
