All the time. I am still young and have considered a career change/pivot but to what is the most difficult question

likefunnyhelpful

SO TRUE!

No, but being a good Consultant without a niche can be unfulfilling and cause regret. Finding a niche you enjoy and excel at is a recipe for a Career. Don’t forget, doing your niche as a service through a consulting firm is just the medium.

Yes and no. Yes for obvious reasons but no because sometimes it’s good to learn early on what you don’t want.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.

Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours?

Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!
