Career change
I have been in the Food and Hospitality industry for about 20 years now.. I am at that point where I am burned out. I want to do something else, I just don't know where to go from here. What are some good industry crossovers from the food and hopitality field? #careerchange #advice
I have never worked from home, but this is what I want to do. I worked for 22 yrs. as a substance abuse counselor, however, I’m ready for a change. #workfromhome #careerchange
How do you get out of customer service/ sales if that’s your only experience?
I’ve been working in customer service and sales and looking for a new career but don’t know where to start. #careerchange #remotework
What is a good explanation if an interviewer asked why I want to do this job which is in a totally different career from which I have been doing in the last 5 years?
I'm currently applying for jobs in automotive mechanic/technician or mechanic but my background I have done in the last 5 years is Massage Therapy. I haven't done interviews in a long time and so far I'm struggling to explain my interest and eagerness in learning a new skill and totally switching careers. Telling people I'm very interested in that field, it was always something I was interested in learning better and I love working with my hands and are interested in learning how things work has so far not been a good enough explanation for the last 2 interviews I have had. Why is it so complicated for those interviewers to understand that some people like to learn new skills or decide to suddenly go into a totally different career? I'm frustrated. #jobsearch #interview #advice #education #careerchange
Good advice given
What if you have been on medical disability x10 years & ready try to work again in a new area?
Good Luck especially if over 55
Did you know you most likely qualify for services through Vocational Rehab, check with your local office. They can usually get you retrained, advocate for jobs and assist you in rejoining the workforce! Good luck!
I’m trying to get into the home building/construction industry. I have 2 degrees but no experience. How can I transition from medical into this field?
How can I show interviewers I'm ready for a Surgical Technologist job? I have a Degree in Applied Science majored in Surgical Technology in 2009. Never worked in the field. How do I get back on track? Desperate to be engaged with this craft.
Also try indeed it real works
Apply at a hospital that is willing to take you without experience like University Hospital. I believe they need surgical techs right now. If you are willing to learn and put in the hard work, you should do fine
Making a career change...how to get started?
It feels overwhelming to shift what you do for a living after such a long time. What are your tips to help someone start the journey of #careerchange?
Well, I know where I’ve been, what I want and am just taking my time to find what works for me. Money isn’t my only interest now.
I'm in this boat. I've been doing healthcare for 20+ years. Every job has been abusive, stressful, short staffed...I'm so burned out I want to get out of the medical field all together. I like to do so many things for fun or hobby but it's always different when you HAVE to do it for pay. I don't want to get into debt for school either.
Have you recently quit, switched jobs or started looking for new work?
What motivated you to make that switch??
A) There are jobs with better pay available now
B) I'm looking for better benefits
C) I want to try something completely different
D) I want to get more training/education
E) I want to find an employer who values the same things I do
F) I need more predictable scheduling
G) Other (please share in the comments below)
