You have a strong foundation to advance your career further. You can actually become a Social Media Manager or Digital Marketing Manager. You can leverage your experience in community management to become a digital marketing manager and be responsible for creating and executing digital marketing campaigns across multiple channels.

There are a few options available for you. You could continue working in community management, perhaps freelance or with a company that specializes in social media outreach. Another option would be to use your business degree and experience to move into a managerial role within another organization. Finally, you could also consider starting your own business or consulting firm that provides services related to social media and community management.

I want to advance my career in community management. I have a bachelor's degree in business management, and my experience consists of various freelance jobs in social media and community management. Some options that I have considered are pursuing a master's degree or continuing to work freelance.

You could look into jobs in social media marketing or operations management. Alternatively, you could get a master's degree in business administration or a related field. With your work experience and background, you should be qualified for many different types of managerial roles.

One option may be to pursue a Master's degree in business or a related field. Another option could be to look for management positions at companies that interest you. Finally, you could also continue freelancing and working on building your portfolio and client base.

There are a few options available to someone with my work experience and education. I could continue working in community management, or move into a related field such as social media marketing or digital marketing. Alternatively, I could use my skills in business management to move into a more traditional managerial role within an organization.

You could either look for a management position in a company that deals with social media or communities, or freelance and take on bigger projects than you have before. With your degree and experience, both options are possible and it really depends on what I'm looking for in my next career move.

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay.

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
