Dead End Job

I have been back at this company for nearly a year now and I feel like I resent this place. When I first got back I worked 7 days a week for nearly 3 months. I got my overtime pay like I was expecting but when they gave me days off I went down to 3 days a week. I have tried to talk to my manager about getting a career boost or to get more training but there has been nothing done. I'm trying to find a different job but with me needing certain days off nobody will hire me. I have even tried to get a second job but I keep getting rejected because I have another job. I have 3 girls and I need to make more money to support them. What do I do?

Invest in your own professional development, get certified in something, do more of what you want to do. You are way more than your J-O-B.

Ah that's a tough situation. If there's nothing you can do to improve your current job, could you take classes or get certified to do something different so that when you leave that job you can go into a different field with maybe more flexibility? I know this sounds vague but I'm not sure what your skillset is or what type of flexibility you're looking for.

I am certified Medical Office Assistant but I cannot get anyone to hire me in that field since I don' t have the experience. I did 2 years at my Tech school but since I have no "field" experience I cannot get out of this rut.
