I have over 20 years experience in the insurance industry. Of course that ages me. I have had many roles, most of which I have found compelling and motivating. With so many roles, it.is my thought that with so much experience it might be detrimental to the process of finding a role that allows for job satisfaction while challenging me to continually grow my knowledge. I need some advice to narrow my interests.

My advice would be to identify which of those roles you enjoyed the most and, of those, which offers the best career trajectory. What appeals to me won't necessarily appeal to you, and vice versa, so this really comes down to what you're most passionate about. Create a top three, research each as much as you can, and once you've identified your top pick, start tailoring your resume to speak specifically to the role and apply to every relevant opportunity.

Thank you. I really do believe my many interests and my age have held me back in the job market. Thank you again for your response and suggestions.

Using your words, this is a great opportunity to rekindle your “interests” or passions. Think back on your various roles, when did you feel most fulfilled or when were you “in the zone” and time just flew by? Also, what’s your genius? What would other people say you excel at? First, figure that out then tailor your resume to pull out those transferrable skills that align with the role you want. Good luck.

It’s more common that you think where candidates have had many roles. And honestly that’s the best way to find out what you job you like and fits you the best. Out of all the roles, are there ones that you felt satisfied over the others? That’ll be a good start to narrow it down.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
