<prompt> Human: I have been working at this company for a little over a year now as a financial analyst. I do a third of our regular reporting in a 10 person department. I took on many reports as people left the company. I have automated everything to the point where I work maybe 3 days out of the month. The problem is people dont ask me for any help. I let people know I am free to help but still get nothing. When I do get asked for help it is just pulling data that they are to lazy to pull. All my reports go to senior managers so they know who I am but they never have additional questions or tasks for me. I like working here aside from the fact I get tasked with nothing outside of my regular work. I like the company culture, the pay and benefits are good, I am just bored. Is there a way to get it through to my boss that I need more work? Should I jump ship and hope for increased responsibilities? I have only been in the work world for a year. I just graduated college I do not have any other experience but I know Im capable of more. Advice?  <response>: Dont expect things to come to you. You need to step up and ask for more work. You can be persistent on asking for more work. This is what I do and they keep constantly bringing me into new departments that I have never done. Once you have exhausted everything you can do, then I would start looking for a new job.
