I am in a wrong career path! what should I do?

afiqsafwan89 — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 12:19:57 +0800

I am a fresh graduates currently working as a Sales Engineer in a trading company. The pay is quite nice and I am in charge of the power generation and oil and gas department of the company. My problem is :

1) I have been working for 2 months already. But I did not really enjoy my job as sales person. Being a technical person, I really miss working with something more technical.

2) I understand that currently a lot of fresh graduates are looking for job, and I should be grateful that I have a job. Its just that, I truly did not enjoy working as sales as you know you are not doing good, if you did not manage to close a deal.

3) If I'm quitting my job and jump to other company, I am afraid that it will not be looking very good in my resume as I already changing job after 2 months.

4) I feel a bit stressed out, as I am truly not enjoying my job.

I know the problem is from myself, as I accepted the sales position, but that was the best opportunity that I have during that time. I can't afford being unemployed as I am already married. Just fyi, I have bachelor degree in Mechatronics in 2nd class upper.

I just need an advice, how to survive. And I am also currently really active looking for jobs that is more technical.

I am currently still active looking for jobs mostly direct through the company email and jobstreet. But still did not get any feedback yet. Still trying my best with my current job and hoping for a silver lining soon. Thank you for all the feedback you guys give me.
