I have been working as an occupational therapy assistant for 4 years with experience in geriatrics and pediatrics. I just completed my bachelor’s in psychology and want to pivot more towards corporate settings, preferably remote. Any recommendations for entry level positions I can apply to to gain more experience and work my way up? What are employers looking for?

Hello, your background sounds perfect! I work 100% remote, and can share some learnings.
1. Gave myself time for the transition, 2 years
2. Include time to learn new information.
3. Linked with a mentor that could help me navigate my 9-5 along with the new remote role
4. Decided to own your new business, to leverage your earnings.

Hi there. I have my bachelor degree in Psychology and I was thinking about getting into OTA to work in the same area that you had been for 4 years. May I ask whats causing you to want the pivot in careers?
