Beyond the basics of art + copy, what do you feel are you’re most marketable, transferable skills? Hoping to pivot away from being an ad creative but less sure what to pivot towards.

Something actually creative. Like writing books, painting, illustration, pottery. Try to pick up where you left off when you started this career and assumed it would be a real creative outlet.

Unearth those latent skills now while your job is paying you an income and work on a career pivot that’s fulfilling. Who knows, you may find you can tolerate this industry longer if you have something else more creative in your life.

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?

First time poster here!

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?
