I'm working in customer service for a personal budgeting app SaaS, and I want to transition to a lifecycle marketer or copywriter. I'm having difficulty making this transition.

All the lifecycle and copywriter jobs I'm applying for always send me "does not fit" emails because my resume focuses more on customer service roles.

How do you switch or transition careers? Do you have any recommendations or tips I can follow?

I wish you luck. I don’t have any advice except don’t drink your troubles away being stuck in a customer service job.

Thanks!

You could write a cover letter explaining why you want the transition and what you can bring to the table. When hiring, I value people that are eager to learn and grow. Someone will likely give you a chance eventually!

Duly noted! Thanks so much for this!

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay.

Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
