Feeling Lost
Okay, so I'm sure I'm not the only one who is having this issue, nor am I the first person to ask for advice on the topic... but I'm feeling so lost! What should I do?!
I received my Bachelor's degree in psychology a little over four years ago. A few months after I graduated, I got a job at the front desk of a behavioral health facility. Great opportunity right? A foot in the door at a good company, related to my degree, opening doors to the behavioral health word, new contacts, etc. It's been four years and I am BURNT OUT. I do not need a degree for this job, I'm not using it. I am great at this job, but I'm tired and underpaid. The company and the higher ups seem to have no idea what they are doing, and it seems as though they do not care for their employees as much as they care about making lots of money. In addition, I don't really get along with my boss; there are so many things he could be doing to support us, but he just doesn't.
At this point, all I know is that I no longer want to be here doing what I'm doing. The thing is, I have no idea what I would rather be doing. I don't even know if I want to stay in this field anymore... I'm not sure if it's for me. I have taken career quizzes and done lots of research over the years, but still nothing has popped out at me. People always ask me what my passions are, what my dream job is, and I just have no idea what to say to them! Isn't that terrible!? I guess I just don't know myself well??
I'm ready to make a change. I'm ready to figure out my dream job. I'm ready to make a move. How do I figure out where to go and what to do? Has anyone else had this quarter life crisis with a successful outcome? I'd love to hear your experiences, advice, etc.!!

Ghosting is Real
I am bothering a recruiter who has ghosted me so many times I cannot remember all of them. Maybe one of these times something will work out.
We were supposed to speak tomorrow at 10am, now it is 1030. We shall see!
Good luck to all job seekers!

Hi everyone!
I saw someone post a Google document for all the different types of positions!
It made me think to leave a doc that I am in, too, which is all remote positions that are updated every month!

Starting to think it's time to retire...
I've been searching for a new job for the past two years. I am a senior-level program manager with more than 25 years of experience. I've posted my resume on LinkedIn, Dice, Indeed, Monster, Careerbuilder, Glassdoor, you name it. In the two year span, I've had about four interviews. Three have gone to the second or even third round just to be told I was not selected, or never to hear from them again. Some of the interviews have gone well. I never get a reason for the no. I recently had a recruiter call me and say he was sending over a job, but he never sent it. That happened a few times after a phone call. I know you're thinking, 'Is it possible that I'm not professional over the phone?' I assure you that is not the case. I worked for many years as a receptionist, answering the phone and providing customer support. I've updated my resume as asked by multiple recruiters, I've used the AI tools recommended by LinkedIn. The only thing I have not done and refuse to do is pay $5000K to hire someone to find me a job. If I am looking for a job, I can't imagine spending money to get money. Maybe if the salary I am after was $500K or more, but I am not there yet. I thought it had something to do with the salary or the rate, but I am asking the market rate for my experience and the role. At this point, I honestly believe it has to do with my race. I've watched other PMs with less experience, from the same companies I've worked for, who I trained, get jobs. I am happy for them of course but there is no reason for me to be sending my resume to the recruiters and not even hearing back at all or not getting one offer. We never want to believe race has anything to do with it, but I had more luck when I removed my picture from LinkedIn, and I did not answer my phone, but forced recruiters to email me. But then came the video call, and I never heard from them again. I am not sure what I am doing wrong or what is wrong with my resume. This has become so frustrating. I am not at the age to retire but I am ready to give up. I love what I do. Support customers, teams, delivery all of it, but I cannot keep trying and adjusting for a world that refuses to accept me.
