Honestly, I never expected to find purpose as an admin. It was a 'for now' job, but now? I realize how much I problem-solve and keep things running. That feels purposeful. Anyone else find unexpected meaning in your role?

Absolutely. For me, it was also tied into working for a non-profit. I took on some work involving client benefits and social security for people with disabilities and mental illness. Being able to work on that on the backend was very fulfilling and meaningful. I may have had little to no contact with those people, but I know what I did mattered and made an impact on their lives.

I absolutely love being an admin for this reason. I love the problem solving nature of the position and helping people. Plus it’s constantly changing which keeps me interested. It helps that I’ve always had great bosses as well.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
