Career Pivot?

In the Boise Area, I'm attempting a career pivot. I've had about 3 years total experience in what I'm trying to break into while the rest of my working career has been in Customer service. I've done work in payroll and that inspired to grow into light accounting/bookkeeping/admin work because I really love it. I've had interviews and can't seem to land a job due to experience even when I'm applying for entry level positions. What more can I do to prove I'm capable of the job? I just need someone to give me a chance #jobsearch

I received my Bachelors in Business Administration in 2014. Why so late. My husband was in the United States Air Force and my career took a back seat due to moving around a lot. My working career started at the kitchen table working for my mother and her accounting business. I was her data entry person. Then I helped my father in his electronic repair business and helped repair computer cables. Yes very different jobs but this shows my adaptability to new tasks at a young age. From there I worked as a dental assistant for many years and enjoyed this very much but the hours are difficult for a single parent as my husband was overseas a lot. Once settled I buckled down and completed my Bachelors in Business Administration with a focus in Human Resource Management, a minor in Accounting, Law enforcement, and Bookkeeping in 2014. I have been in search of my forever job since. I thought I had that job with Akal Securities however we lost the contract. I went back to what I had experience at Fauquier Hospital and account research. I was offered the position at John Marshall SWCD. This was the start to my Administration in a professional setting career. I was with JMSWCD for 5 years and 7 months. The District is combining the Manager position with the administrator position and I was let go. These positions were combined prior to my employments but were split due to the last manager did not want the admin duties. So here I am looking for a forever job to utilize my skills and knowledge with.

Looking for career opportunities as a Healthcare Administrative

I graduated with honors, yet still I can't find a job in my area of studies. Earning a B.S. in Healthcare Administration, I didn't know it was going to be this difficult. So I went at head and also earn my States Life Accident and Health License. Though I am still kind of in the Healthcare industry is not quite the same. If anyone know what company hiring in this field and not asking for experiences that are unbelievable please let me know. Each time I apply they always say my experience is remarkable but they had to go with others who already worked in the field but I am more then free to apply with them again. REALLY! #healthcare #jobsearch #interview #advice
