I am looking to branch away from the housekeeping title and tilt towards some new titles. Preferably a driver for a company but I have only driven a van before for a company I once worked for. I also wouldn't mind remote work. I tried that once as tech support. Even being a medical courier. My question when you have been working in a specific field for so long how do you break free and branch out and try new things? What are some key things to mention in an interview or even place on a resume?

Lots of van driving jobs will take you, so long as you can answer "Yes" to "Have you ever driven a van before?" Don't worry how much or how little you actually drove. If the interviewer likes you, they won't grill you on "how much." The application might ask "how many years," but if you really want to be driving, you can fudge the number and get away with it. But in your mind, you have to convince yourself that you can "drive like a 2-year" or "5-year" driver.

A few months ago, there were articles about how Juniper Park/TBWA’s hand sign saved the life of a kidnapped girl in a car. But the next day, reporters asked the guy who called the cops about it and he said he had no idea what the hand sign meant, he actually called the cops because the kidnapped girl kept mouthing “Help me.” I’ve heard of agencies exaggerating sales results or click through rates in case studies, I really hope JP/TBWA isn’t exaggerating about, literally, saving someone’s life.
