New job search under way (corp restructure / elimination of my position). My performance was highly valued and I have excellent references. Seeing opportunity to reinvent myself a bit and try something new.
1. undergrad degrees: Finance & Mgt, excellent problem solving & detail skills, accounting and project management experience, extensive customer service. I’m looking at analyst and account manager positions. Any other recommendations?
2. LinkedIn locked me out of my real acct for 3 weeks.

Further to 1 & 2 above:
1. I’m brushing up on some older skills by taking a data analytics class w/Google & Coursera and some advance Excel and PowerPoint classes. Would love Remote work or hybrid (CT area) ideally. Not sure which keywords might hit on my search of job postings in addition to noted above. I am able to do or learn most anything (except maybe feats requiring massive physical strength lol). Looking for ideas I may not have yet considered.
2. I am at a loss for how to fix LinkedIn. I’ve opened a 2nd Support ticket and they seem to be ignoring me on both. I had just paid for Premium service then they shut me completely off for 3 days. When I was finally able to get back in, they only gave me access to my account as it appeared in 2011 when I wasn’t really using it. I realize the value of networking so this is extremely frustrating- I keep getting emails with recommendations to connect to my real account! (Except I can see the real “me” has about 50 contacts missing, if they’re the most recent then they’re the most important!) LinkedIn doesn’t have a phone number and they don’t seem to care that I’m about to dispute the charge with my credit card company to try to get this resolved. Any other suggestions?

I would try to make a new LinkedIn and find someone on the product team. Or if you have someone specifically who works at MI or LI I would flex those connections. Recruiting without LI is pretty much impossible

I already have two LinkedIn accounts (not on purpose)so making a third one doesn’t seem to solve the issue, plus I’ve already paid for a year of Premium that I would lose. And trying to reconnect with hundreds of contacts for a second time…. Ugh!
I don’t know anyone at LinkedIn unfortunately.

LinkedIn almost fixed. Yay! Missing about 50 Connections but at least it’s major progress.

Why not stay in operations? Operations means you typically have a good end-to-end understanding of a particular business model. I see a decent amount of jobs across job websites for operations/supply chain/procurement professionals. Are you close/friendly with colleagues across the industry? They will be the ones to help land you an interview - that’s been my experience hacking it alone.

Thank you for the input! Yes, I’ve remained friends with colleagues throughout the industries I’ve been in. Just feeling it’s time for a reinvention and an opportunity to learn new ideas and skills while still using my soft skills. I’ve definitely touch based with old bosses who know my work ethic and may happen to have a conversation with someone who is hiring. I might decide I’m crazy and change my mind, but at the moment I’m looking for something new. Except it ain’t easy 😂

You can try contacting LinkedIn Customer Support to resolve this issue. They may require you to provide some authentication information to verify your account.

Thank you, I had contacted them right away and communicated daily with no effect. I opened a Chat yesterday and got most of the situation finally resolved by someone not in Support. I had already provided the authentication as well as a synopsis of what I was pretty sure went wrong. Had other personal, time consuming and stressful stuff going on, so some of the delay was me not hammering away at it 24/7. Not sure how you can run a business without a phone number for Suppprt!
I appreciate your input, thanks!
