Recently started a part time job, the job description was social media content creator and manager. In my induction I was given all the tasks I needed to do and given free reign with it, so managed all platforms for the business, created content and grew their pages. The issues started when my manager started to criticise my work and basically said it wasn't good enough, so told me what to do and when to do it. Followed their lead and our analytics declined. I was criticised for this and asked why I changed what I was doing. Nothing I said would prove my point.
I was told because my role wasn't working for the business, they want to put me in the sales team. I've never worked in sales, never wanted to either. I've worked in PR and marketing for 10+years and I'm good at it! Have been in the sales team for a couple of weeks and just have no idea what I'm meant to be doing. Was given a goal and told to get to it- no advice on how, no training or guidance.
My sales manager is now starting to complain about it, and they're criticising me for not being good at this new role. I've asked for help, training etc and have just been told what the company goal is. I've been doing my own research into the type of sales they do but I can't do much more than that.
For many reasons, I need this job. I'm looking for others but am hesistant to leave after such a short time.
What do I do?
