Write down why you don’t like your job? You have to be polite about it, as if you’re talking to the boss.

Original:

1. To collect data, make forms and charters by excel, write reports, basically they are the main jobs I have to do every day. it’s the same. I repeat it day after day. It’s too boring to spend time like this even though the company pays me.

2. The boss is so strict that I feel that I’m working under a huge pressure. She is a woman around 50 who are used to lose temper. It’s not a happy thing to work with such kind of boss.

They are the two main reasons why I don’t like my current job, and I’d like to find a job which is more interesting and I hope the boss is more friendly.

Edited:

The main jobs I have to do every day consist in collecting data, making forms and charts on Excel, and writing reports. It’s always the same and I repeat it day after day, which is a very boring way to spend my time, even though the company pays me for it.  Also, my boss is so strict that I feel that I’m working under a huge pressure. She is a woman around 50 who loses her temper very often, which makes her not a very nice boss to work with.

Those are the two main reasons why I don’t like my current job. I’d like to find a more interesting job, hopefully with a friendlier boss.
