I'm a mental health counselor with over 15 years in the field. Prior to that I was a teacher for 5 years. I also have a Masters in Corporate Leadership. I am looking to transition into another career d/t burnout and the overall industry. How/where would one begin this search? How do I break through the application/resume AI barriers? How would I manage the need for a salary comparable to my current salary (not entry level) as I need to be able to pay bills?

Depends on what career you're looking to transition into. Leverage networking and makings tons of human connection vs. Just applying and expecting a response. What types of roles are you seeking?

Thank you! I live in an area where it is challenging to network in these areas, plus I am working 2 very PT jobs (that I love doing) on top of my FT job. I have considered training roles (I was a teacher, but that was over 20 years ago before tech was the norm in the classroom). I have also considered research and advocacy roles. The biggest barriers I am seeing are the current job market, the challenge with getting my resume seen w/o certain work Hx highlights/key words, and salary challenges.

Hey all, started my role as a recruiter at an agency recently and had my first placement! It was great until the candidate wants to renegotiate the base and benefits after the current company counter-offered when the candidate no longer sees the future. Any tips on what to say to bring back to focus? The current role is a Sr. Acct Receivable (less than 2yr) and going into collections specialist at a global law firm.

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

Ok, after an HR screening (and salary requirements) I had 3 interviews. Then HR calls for references and to be “reminded” of salary requirements. All 3 references now contacted. Will I get an offer?

Had several great interviews at a company. Reached out to internal recruiter a few days ago. No word back. Should I send a LinkedIn message to the person that would be my boss to check in?

How unprofessional is it to accept an offer and back out before your start date?
