Hello everyone. I have over 20 years of production and manufacturing experiance ranging from operator up to operations manager positions. However, I am need of a change of direction as the production lifestyle just no longer suits. If anyone can help with advice on where to start and how to find roles that match skills I have gained but require less experiance that would be great. Each job posting I look at seems to require some experiance levels. feels like I’m trapped in production forever!

2 years ago I lost my job b/c our portfolio didn't make it on contract. At that time, I had 17 years of exp in med device. A friend of mine, who owns a company in the newborn market brought me in while I look for something else, at half of my prev. salary. It's been 2 years and I've been told "too much exp", or "not enough of the right exp", or "my exp isn't exactly what we're looking for", or "the position is no longer available" or I get ghosted. Feeling a bit lost & frustrated - any help?

How to level set expectations with your C-suite exec? Had incident where my exec got upset with me over something that wasn’t entirely my fault. briefly mentioned why there was a misunderstanding and they didn’t care and still chose to blame me. Then, i found out they brought it up to someone else and conveniently left out the reason why there was a mixup. I work at a smaller firm where i wear many hats. There’s no clear communication from my exec and i feel like it puts me in a position to fail

I got my paralegal cert. last year, and I am working towards my advanced paralegal certificate. I have applied to hundreds of jobs during the last 6 months, and I have gotten between 10 and 15 interviews, but not a single job offer. While my legal experience in the U.S. falls short, I am a bilingual foreign-licensed attorney, so I know how the law works, and I will need just a short training for certain procedures. Is the job market too crazy? Or are law firms asking for too much exp nowadays?

I am a deputy program manager and work under a PM coming from a different sector in tech. He’s got a lot of professional exp. but not in the domain my company works in. I try to give info on our domain but get ignored & told I don’t have enough exp to change his mind. It’s causing trust loss with the customer & our team. Upper management sees it, tells me the PM is on the wrong track & encourages me to keep giving perspective. Any tricks to influence this person & help rebuild client/team trust?

Hi! I support a high level c suite exec and am very close with them. I know they are very happy with my work but the firm cannot offer me a perm role (currently on as contract). They are known to be quite quick tempered (although never to me, it’s just one of those relationships where I’m like the golden child iykyk). But I’m interviewing for FT roles bc I need the benefits. When the day comes, how do I let my exec down easy? I think it surprise them and let them down a bit

I've got about 9 years of exp in tax focusing in PCS/Wealth/T&E. I've been manager for about 3-4 years. It was a remote gig/I exited the midsize public firm back in May to obtain CPA because I could no longer get promoted without a license and they were working me like a senior manager. I'll be done studying in a month. I don't have the SM title on my resume but should I try applying for tax senior manager role? If not, what salary range should I ask for as remote exp manager? 165k?

I am wondering if hiring managers today understand what the operative Generalist means. During the dot-com, it was RARE for anyone to meet the 100% checkbox criteria of a job description. Being a Generalist was relished and highly sought after. All the jobs I had required one be agile, adaptable, and creative to arrive at ,or develop solutions. Most of the time, we were formulating nascent offerings, whereby, one fared better if one could confidently out think the box.

I’ve spent a decade at one company. In private, some EAs said they’d avoid working for execs from a certain country. I thought that was bias—until a friend had a loud confrontation with her female boss and the boss repeatedly dropped the “f‑word” in the office. Then I realized the issue wasn’t nationality, it was abrasive, aggressive behavior. Have you experienced something like this?
