Has anyone successfully landed a job out of state?
I'm in the final stages of possibly landing a job at a phenomenal company out of state, in an area I'd love to move to. My SO and I would rent out there but we need to sell our house first. His job is flexible so no issue there and we don't have kids. Luckily we live in a desirable area where the houses…

I was made redundant last December, just after returning from maternity leave, and it was a tough time with a little one at home.
Since then, I’ve been actively applying for jobs but rarely hear back. When asked why I’m looking for a new job in interviews, I haven’t always been sincere, giving different reasons. Recently, I decided to be upfront and told an interviewer that I was made redundant. But their response thre…

You may want to try these trainers on YouTube: Ken Coleman and Andy LaCivita. They have videos and materials that will help in determining direction and may give you some workable ideas. Also some practical suggestions about continuing education that won't break the bank.

Also look at volunteer positions. That may give you a practical clue plus some connections for future opportunities.

Hello Lydia, I have work in highered for 15 years advising students of all ages and back ground. The most important thing what is your passion? Most students look at what they like to do but once the fine out all the learning involves they drop out. Your passion will have you eager to learn as much as you can.
I love advising and helping people, looking for opportunities to start back in my field.
Good Luck
