Is a long story how I ended up with current job. Basically I always wanted to work in the government so I quit a permanent job to take on a temporary clerical/admin job in the government when I actually studied Life Science/Computer Science. Anyways two months ago I was made permanent but the problem is the job involves a lot of admin work. On my resume I would say I used Microsoft SQL Server to extract data, write Visual Basic Applications which is true but that involves 5% of the time while the rest of the 95% would be clerical stuff. Right now I decided is a waste of my time so I am changing jobs to do almost 100% percent of the 5% stuff. During interview how do I explain I want to do the 5% stuff 100% of the time but I have only worked for 1 year so less than 1 month worth of actual experience with the 5% stuff.

I think what you have above is a good answer. Maybe we can put a slightly more positive spin on it. |

I suggest you say that you want a job that involves the use more of your attributes and that the job you are applying for will expand on these attributes and there will be chance for growth at this company using your core efforts doing what you love. |
