Then if nothing happens, ask the boss above yours if he or she thinks X would work better than XX, which your supervisor is doing. I am a recent graduate with a BA in biology. I am applying for jobs within the administrative-executive field. My question is, how do I deter potential employers from looking at my biology degree. I know why i'm not in the biology field.
Many employers know that undergrad degrees have nothing to do with current jobs.
Just be honest in your interview. Tell them why you are at the interview, what you are interested in and why you are not going through with a job in bio. If they ask. I have great technical background but came to this job hoping to merge that background with the regulators world. Now I am bored stiff with little of significance to do.
