6．When you need a job very much，you may end up taking one for which you are over qualified．Although you were initially grateful just to have the work，you now feel bored and depressed．Is there any way to change that？
Start by changing your opinion，says Caitlin Kelly，the author of Malled，a book based on her experience as a sales clerk after losing her job in journalism．"Don't focus on what you're not getting but what you are getting，"she says．"Be patient and work attentively with a wide range of people．It doesn't matter what the job is-there are always things you can learn and skills you can develop．"
Hilary Pearl，the founder of a coaching firm，says，"Tell yourself the current situation isn't the end of your career．Don't overdramatize（过分夸大）the negative aspects but try to view the situation more philosophically：life has a series of stages，and this is one of them．Don't forget to study even in the worst stage．"
Consider that because you're overqualified，you may be able to learn or do things on the job that might not have been possible in a more demanding position，says Sarah Hathorn，the chief executive of Illustra Consulting．"You could spend your extra time in learning different aspects of the business and teaching others in the organization，"she says．
Is it possible to make your work more challenging，even if your job responsibilities aren't likely to change？
Of course，you may seek tasks and responsibilities that force you to learn something new or to work harder．"You may be operating on autopilot（习惯性地）right now，but chances are that people above you are stressed，"Sarah Hathorn says．"Take things off your boss's plate and let him know which projects or tasks you want to learn more about．"
Always express your request positively，saying that you love new challenges，rather than complaining that you're bored and underused，says Ethun，the president of the Park Avenue Group．In your down time，educate yourself about the company and its industry．"Read corporate information，analyst reports and related news articles，"she says．"If your boss accepts your suggestions，it will make you a more valuable employee．"
