I wanted to get some advice. I am trying to transition into doing receptionist work and out of the mental health field. Is there any one who has advice on this? I’m trying to do volunteer work being a consultant on the side. It would be nice to hear back from people who understand.

To give background, I did mental health work in New York and Massachusetts, and I’m honestly very burnt out from it and I’m no longer passionate about it. If anyone can give advice I’d appreciate it.

Two suggestions. One, try staffing agencies like Robert Half. They can place you in those positions. Also, if you apply directly to a receptionist position, only place on your cover letter the skills that they are seeking in the job post. No need to go into your mental health background. Your cover letter is your friend. List those transferable skills. You’re not pigeon holed.

Looking for some advice on a career change. I work in a technical role and have well-developed soft skills. I want to transition to UX (w/ focus on accessibility). There are a lot of UX educational programs out there, some very new, e.g. Dribbble, and costs are all over the place - General Assembly is $15k (and full-time), CareerFoundry almost $8k, and then many others at a fraction of the price. Reviews also vary wildly. Are these more expensive programs worth the huge increase in cost?
