Any advice how to switch career tracks? I’m a single parent and sole financial provider, I’m at Director/VP level of talent/resourcing but want to switch to copywriting. I don’t have a portfolio but would really love the chance to learn. Any advice how/where to even begin to make this happen, I’m so unhappy in my current career but don’t know how to make a switch? Thanks for any advice.

Portfolio school might be your best option.

Thank you!

For portfolio school, a more low key option like SVA or Adhouse is more than sufficient because you already get the biz.

But also, if creative falls under your resourcing responsibilities, you probably have good relationships with creatives already who would be happy to help you/guide you. We’ve had account folks and strategy folks both switch over to creative and vice versa here.

Thank you 🙏

Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!

I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
