I'm now in my new job about 4 months.  This is the first full-time job I ever had and I'm quite unhappy with my job.  (working environment and the job scope).  I'm so unmotivated to learn new things given my current job.

I'm planning to look for a new job after new year but I'm told that the economic now is really bad and it's not easy to find a job now + terminating employment within probationary period looks bad in the resume. 

Anyone can give any suggestions on that?

1st what industry are you in?
2nd there's no such thing as "resigning within probationary period looks bad on resume". The most you need to prepare is to answer truthfully if the interviewer ask you about it. Heck it might even add brownie points if the answer suits him/her.

btw, what is your cause for unhappiness?....care to spill it out?

cannot tell industry...the world is small...

I don't like the culture there and I don't feel like I can get along well with ppl there nor ppl like me.  (I might have serious personality problem.... sad.gif )
How to transform myself from "little kid" thinking into "adult" corporate world? 

I'm getting uninterested in the work i'm working with.  This is basically a very desk-bound work and I don't feel like interested in the things of my company.

If you've reckon that it might be your attitude/personality problem; would it make any difference if you change job?
By the more common definition of changing job, usually it is about resigning xxx company to join zzz competitor doing the same routine; so would you be happy there?
Unless you meant changing job as in getting out of the routine, than maybe I would agree to that.
