    Yes, after speaking with your manager to see if the work may be adjusted. Keep this job until you can find something more challenging if that is what you decide.

    I am only applying to other jobs within the same agency. I work for the state department of corrections at a prison hospital which can be tough due to restrictions such as not bringing in your cellphone.

    Look into education and training opportunities first. You can continue to advance your skills in case you feel the need to go. You may also have less boredom.

    It’s only been 2 months… enjoy the onboarding period. Your manager and team is still learning about you and learning to trust you. They don’t know what you’re capable of, let them know.
