Overqualified for my job & bored

4 replies

I’m overqualified for my job but I have so much going on outside of work as a single parent. I can do my job in 25% of the time. Returned to work after a sabbatical to a role I did 20+ yrs ago.

Any suggestions on what I can do 75% of the remaining work day? Have to be online due to controlling workd place.

Sit in front of your computer and knit, draw, read a book? Study for another qualification with the OU. Write a novel.

Surely this is the dream?

Watch TV, go on your own laptop, housework etc.

I would have my work laptop infront of me, when doing this.

Study. Do a course that will help you get another job.

Or ask for more work - or do a special project, research new markets.ways to cut costs, etc. Or carry out research in a topic that interests you that might be related to your work and that might help you get a promotion.
