Hi,

I’m looking to pivot into consulting but not sure how and would very much appreciate any advice on the best ways to go about it.

I graduated with a Community Health degree in spring 2021, I was 20 yo. Since then, I’ve worked as a Paralegal and as an Administrative and Financial Operations Associate. Both roles are heavily customer facing roles and also require management, organizational skills as well as customer consultations.

Im 23yo now and want more out of my career. Please advise

Grad school MBA? That way you can hit intern recruiting cycles. Way harder to pivot into consulting if you weren’t an intern at one

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology. They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?

I am not rich by biglaw standards but I have a very comfortable life and put my kids through college with no debt. 35 years after leaving big law, people are still impressed when I say I started there. I feel like I still had the benefits of the connection w/o the suffering.

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title?

What are the different ways non tech founders approach this? Any ideas will be very helpful. Looking for a starting point. Thank you.
