I am struggling...

Dear FGB community,

I have been struggling for the last year professionally, and I am trying to figure out where the lesson is in all of this. I was at my previous job for seven months, where I enjoyed the role but was highly overworked, burnt out, and never had a chance to think for five mins.

I have been at my current org for over seven months and am still struggling. I went from one extreme to another. I am in a senior leadership position with barely anything to do. I had an initial job description that had changed at least eight times. I get assigned one thing, and then my supervisor adds something only to take it off later on after I have completed the tasks and projects associated with the function. I have spoken to my supervisor about this, but he is not receptive, and I am at my wit's end.

I have been actively job hunting and interviewing, but given my short stints at this place and my last position, I don't look as reliable of an employee in terms of longevity, which is what I want, but I want to be fulfilled.

Signed,

An overachiever who feels like she is failing professionally.
