I am incompetant at my job?
I was hired for a job at which I was underqualified. I think they picked me because I would be cheaper than someone with an MBA.

I am totally out of my depth.

The problem is
1. I really need the job
2. If I quit I suspect they would put someone even worse. I accepted the low pay because I love the work. (it is charity related)
For what they are paying they are getting something OK I guess. No person with the MBA/Legal & IT skills needed would accept the pay, I guess unless they were like me and doing it for the love of it, but I can easily see them just putting a relative in or something which would be
out of the frying pan, into the fire.

What do I do, please. I don't even know where to start.

Thanks for answers.

What does it matter who they replace you with? If you don't like it, leave.

You only feel incompetent because you are clearly under-supported. Your employer must have some confidence in your abilities by giving you the job, all you appear to lack is the support and training you so clearly require.

Ask your line manager about training opportunities in the areas where you feel your knowledge/skills are lacking. There is no shame in not knowing.

Good luck.

They obviously think you can do the job. You don't say what exactly you are doing or why you even think you are incompetent at your job other then you don't have an MBA. Having an MBA does not make one competent for a particular job. My previous boss had an MBA and when she left I moved into her position with only an Associates degree and work experience. I would hire someone without a degree before I hired an MBA without decent work experience.

Get help. Now they have hired you they have made the investment in you; you need to make the investment work. Ask for specific instructions to complete tasks better.


Frickin Chicken
I'm sure they hired you coz they thought you were able to do the job, just keep going and you'll soon know all you need to know to do the job right.

you'll get better at the job as you gain experience. since you like the job, and you seem content with the pay, and they seem content with you, stay where you are.

Keep your head down and get on with it.

See your boss and highlight just a few areas that are causing a "little" difficulty and ask for some help to put you right. Do try to bluff it as this could cause your employer problems and then you will be out. When these few little problems are sorted then go back with another few. This way you will look mature and learn about what you are doing under a little supervision.

Embrace it. Most people are incompetent at their jobs. In a career, you tend to rise to your level of incompetence, and then do not rise any more. It sounds like you are there.

They really shouldn't have employed underqualified people

train yourself to do the work- become an independent thinker and stay on your toes.

Seek self help books
self training CDs

Get as much feedback from your work as possible

Learn to learn fast
Learn to adapt, to be decisive, assertive and responsive

There's a book called the 10-day MBA which seem to help
ECDL is a good training course that is widely available and gets you going

Good luck
