Can procurement tech consultants go back to the industry in category management or strategic sourcing roles? Used to be strategic sourcing manager, now a procurement tech consultant. Need an exit.

Yes, that would be a logical jump. Industry companies struggle to find people with procurement experience so you should be good. Where are you located? If in NYC I may be able to offer referral for CPG company.

Hello,
I’m a MRI technologist with bachelors in radiologic science. My goal is to become epic analyst. I do have a proficiency in Radiant. However, I am not having much luck with any applications. Almost all the postings require actual certification or build experience. I am thinking that I may have to go back to school. My options are either go for masters or go for another bachelors in IT/computer science. What could be my other options? Thank you.

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work.
