Warning: My data analysis cert did nothing for my daily tasks

I worked hard to get certified hoping for better work. Now I'm stuck with the same old jobs and feel ignored. What's the best way to prove you can handle more without sounding pushy?

Hey, that sucks about your cert feeling useless. What if you used it to fix a tiny annoying thing in your current tasks? (you know, like that weekly spreadsheet everyone dreads.) Shows you can handle more without even asking.

But what if they just give you more small tasks?

But would a small fix really prove you can handle bigger things, @hollyprice?

Think about it. I fixed a jammed printer once and got put on the tech team for my 'skills', which is kinda funny, right? @jakewhite, a small fix shows you pay attention to details, and bosses love that. It proves you're willing to solve problems, no matter how small. Then they might trust you with bigger things. Isn't that how we all end up with more work?
