Does anyone have experience moving from a faith based career into something else- nonprofit or completely different? I am extremely challenged as many of my former places of work have closed, merged with new denoms, or have had multiple (in one case 5) entire leadership/staff changes in the time since I was employed there. I have great references from former colleagues and bosses, but after interviewing and trying for a career change over the past 3, nearly 4 years, I am struggling for reinvention without 'provable' experience. (Recruiter language not mine)
After the last round of 7 interviews with an organization, I felt like there was language used that insinuated that it "could look like" I have been fraudulent in my statements of experience. Y'all, I have spent my entire life helping other people- especially women- this should be my wheelhouse BUT I clearly could use some clarity and help here to see what it is that I am missing.
(side note: Continuing in my former field would produce a job within a few weeks BUT my family cannot take another move thus why I am seeking a different field)

intervewing for same role twice
1 year ago I interviewed for a company made it to the 4th last interview . I rescheduled the last interview 2x because I was sick but I had to suck it up and still go sick otherwise my opportunity would pass .
i ended up bombing it bc I was too sick and I could not reschedule for a third time
I applied for the same job again , do you think they will give me a second chance if I explain I was sick the first time ? I executed every interview before that

Ethnic minorities do wirk quite hard actually, and I think they are getting underestimated at times.
The statue of a slave owner was on the grounds of the first. I didn't think too much into it.

It is like 12 years that they are doing this. I was grad school, when my undergraduate boss had started to this. And after that my grad supervisors were doing this.
It is work done, that's why money is coming to it. It's a professional contract. Just misusing a psychological contract is not on. It's immoral.

Will AI Take Your Job?
Not so fast…
We’re hearing a lot of noise about AI taking over the workforce. But a recent study from MIT shows it’s not happening as fast or as broadly as we might think.
While some tasks can be automated, most aren’t cost-effective for companies to replace, yet. That gives you time to adapt, upskill, and stay ahead.
In my latest newsletter, I break down what this research means for you, how to protect your role from automation, and why human skills still matter more than ever.
? Read it here!
? Question for you: Do you feel prepared for AI’s impact on your industry?
✅ Yes, I’m adapting already
? I’m not sure where to start
? Honestly? A little nervous

My boss stepped down and I ended up crying because he was leaving .
He has been very kind and very accommodating. Do you think i may have acted unprofessional by crying?
My new manager isn't very happy with me. How can I best work with my new manager.
Thanks
