Anyone have a conversation with their manager that talked about them seeing them better suited in another area/department based on your particular skill sets? How would you feel about this conversation?

Something I might take kind of hard at first, but honestly sometimes being a person on the outside, they can see more than you can. I’d try to focus on it being a complement that I could put my strengths and skills into something else that I’m better suited for.

I did actually see it being a compliment. Thank you for the insight!

I don't think that I would be offended by it. It shows that the manager cares enough to make sure I'm with the best team possible.

I didn’t take any offense to it. I saw it as a way to best optimize my strengths without them being totally wasted. I agree 100% with you! Thank you for the insight!

This happened to me last year and I was offended because I was one of the top performers on the team and I thought that she was trying to get rid of me. In the end, she was right. I'm a much better fit on my new team.

I’m glad you finally saw it as a positive. Thank you for your insight on this!

I discuss these things with my teams in their 1:1's. I would rather retain good talent within the organization than to see them go to a different company. We also offer bubble assignments so people can try new things. Sometimes they move into a new department, sometimes they find that it's really not what they thought it might be. Our company is fantastic with supporting people who really want to learn.

Hi everyone! I have been in my current role as an EA at a financial institution for about a year and a half now. I would love to find a 100% remote role as a mid level EA at a company with an awesome work culture. I think I’m ready to be challenged again, I find myself bored in my current role… I’m open to any industry but would love to get into tech. If anyone knows of any openings I would really appreciate it! I’m located on the East coast currently. TIA

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
