<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

I just started a new job about a month ago at a huge company. At first I had people stopping by and giving me projects hourly, and for the past two weeks I've had nothing to do. Each time I broach the subject with my superiors and request more work, I'm told: "Sorry, got nothin' for ya. Try so-and-so". I've even taken to roaming the office and offering help to anyone who needs it with work that isn't even in my field. My concern is that not only will this become more and more apparent as time goes on, but that if I keep asking my boss for work, she will summise that my position isn't particularly necessary. 

My two closest friends who have worked for large companies like Microsoft both suggested that I give it a few more days before requesting a meeting with my boss under the pretense that I'm seeking feedback on my performance (during which I will ask for more responsibility face-to-face). This seems like a friendly enough approach, but I'm not sure it will be a long-term solution. 

During the hiring process my boss informed me that: "some weeks you'll be slammed with work, and other's you'll really have to dig to find projects" - so this was expected to a degree; I'm just extremely unfamiliar to what the best way to approach this is in the corporate world. Some higher-ups will give employees enough rope to 'see whether they hang themselves' or not, and I definitely don't want to make the wrong impression. I'm eager to work!

Any help is much appreciated.
<bot>: Keep asking superiors for projects, none will provide, I have no work to do and I have no idea how to tell my boss without making them think my job isn't necessary.
