I have achieved nothing in my current job
Discussion
When I applied for my current job, I was able to list and detail things I had acheived in my previous job, i.e. what I did and how it improved the company.
Now I've been in my existing job for almost 6 months and I want to leave, so its back to the CV drawing board. Unfortunately I have acheived absolutely nothing in my existing job, other than turn up at 9am and do what I'm told to. I have tried to improve things I really have, but unfortunately I'm "not paid to think".
So on my CV, what do I put? Sure I can list my responsibilities, but everyone is responsible for something, and I dont want to live off past glory (so to speak).

Some very helpful posts here so thank you for that. I guess a lot of you are right, I have contributed, its just I don't feel I have done anything above the call of duty.
There is plenty of work to do at my current job, and I do it as best I can with minimal fuss, but I'm paid to do that.
Admittedly I have come up with one or two intuitive ideas but they are too detailed to list on a CV. I guess fixing the companys IP telephony network within a few weeks of being there is worth putting down, that saved them a lot of money because they never had to renew their support contract! Other than that I'm out of ideas!
