Server at Hamiltons Food And Spirits

Career Change

I’m tired(too smart, and too old) of being a server. I want something that will help me further my current degree and has benefits and long term possibilities with growth. I got a bit of a late start (like many of my generation. I am almost 32) and am having a hard time getting past anything beyond the second interview phase for any positions that would provide me with those desired benefits. Any advice?

Hi Katie Linder I think the first and most important thing is to figure out what you would like to do and then secondly look at what you've done previously and see which skills match up. This is called [transferring your skills] (https://www.jobcase.com/conversations/a5073517-c2cd-5d9e-913b-5dae6e88f188) and it's important to take what you've already done and use it your advantage!

So my advice is not to just find any career with benefits and blindly apply. Figure out how your skills match up and think about what you can bring to them. Tailor your resume around this. Jobcase has an amazing resume tool. Just add ALL of your info into by clicking on the resume tab and then click download and you're all set!

Please feel free to send me a private message if I can help further!
