Hi everyone,
So I’ve always had a rough time trying to find what role titles I would be a good fit to apply to given that my career growth has been so peculiar (HR assistant at hotel, Operations Manager at hotel, seller support at Amazon, customer experience coordinator at an IT company, talent acquisition specialist at a health org)
In those roles I normally took more in my plate than the typical role requires (hr functions, data analysis, etc)
With 6-7 years if exp what role should I look?

I think right now your first order of business would be to narrow down what type of role/industry you'd like to focus on. From there, you can then optimize your resume to showcase any/all skills that you've amassed through your diverse career path and optimize them for the specific position you're targeting. Once you've tackled the first step, my recommendation would be to work with a professional who can optimize your resume. Plenty of folks on Upwork for this. Good luck!
