I am currently looking for a new role.

I am currently looking for a new role. I have been with my company for almost 4 years and its just turned into burnout, toxic and no matter how much work you do its not enough. When mistakes are made you are chastised for it, etc. I have been actively looking for a few months and probably at this point have submitted to over 200 job postings. I have been in healthcare for over 20 years at this point but wonder if I should look into other industries. I dont know how well my skills will transfer over. I have been a biller/collector, supervisor, trainer, escalated conflict manager, etc. Any advise would be appreciated.

    Healthcare can be a really tough environment - I know because I spent close to 20 years there myself. Sounds like you’ve had many professional experiences and therefore have collected a variety of transferable skills that can be applied in other fields/areas. The important piece to find out is what those “other fields” could be for you, depending on your interests and skills. I help people figure this out. You can read my profile here on FGB and connect with me for a complimentary call, if you’d like. Whether you do that or not, I highly encourage you to connect with Anna Lovell-Nesmith who is a burnout specialist. She has a profile here on FGB and also on LinkedIn. She also offers complimentary calls as well and is absolutely wonderful. I know far too well what it’s like to work in a toxic work environment - so much so that it negatively affected my health - so my heart goes out to you.

    It sounds to me like you have a lot of skills that would transfer, especially those that require negotiation, which are all of the jobs you listed. Healthcare recruiting and medical temp services might be an excellent job for you (as staff, not a temporary employee) because you know the industry. I went from healthcare to human services (non-profit case worker) as there were many transferrable requirements, and I already had the skills.
