I Am Worried

I feel like a real loser at my job. I'm a reporter and I send my editor my drafts and he keeps sending them back to me asking for revisions and what [i]he[/i] prefers to have in the article instead of the angle I'm getting at. I get it, it's his job but he always rewrites my work anyways no matter what I send him. Last night, he told me how frustrated he was that he spent hours revising my article. And for another story I did, he didn't like the pictures I took. He just makes me feel like I'm incompetent for the job and I'm scared that he'll fire me the more I disappoint him. I really need this job so that I can get published experience.

I would approach him first and tell him you have noticed that he seems to send a lot of things back to you. Ask what you can do differently in the future to avoid giving him the extra work. This will make you look like you are driven to presenting good work, and that you want to ease his stress of always having to make corrections.
