Any suggestions on getting an Administrative job when you’re looking out of state? I’m in New York trying to move South and I’ve applied to easily 80+ jobs and have heard back from only 1. I’m more than qualified, what do I do??

I'm curious as to what your cover letter says. I learned from a job coach 2 years ago to only put in a cover letter what the potential employer is looking for. There's no need to list alllllll of your sparkly skills. If you come off over qualified, that is how they will treat you. You're going south. Keep that reality in mind.

Does it affect my joining with wipro?

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
