A problem shared is a problem halved! Question: Dear Agony Aunt, Where is my career going, Will I get a raise or is this job just a waste of time? Melinda Dear Melinda, Your career is going well, but a move right now will just swap one scenario for exactly the same thing. Someone in your workplace is always in competition with you. They are jealous. You have great people skills and the way to go forward is to use these on this person. Make them your friend. They are actually a little in awe of you. At the next appraisal you can state what you want from your career. You may be surprised at how this is received. You are valued and will be considered for an upgrade, but for now things are quiet while you prove your worth. Much love, Agony Aunt Views:]]>
