Read some books like What Color is your Parachute and other books in the career section. Try to figure out what you like to do and what types of jobs correspond to that. If you need to upskill, look online for free classes or certificate programs. If you have a university degree (BA or above) check with their career services office and see if they can provide you with help on your resume and connecting you to jobs or alumni that may help you find what you're looking for. It's not easy to do, but some self reflection and analysis of your skills and interests will go a long way to help you find the kind of career path you want.

As a laborer, I can tell you I understand your plight. I have been expanding my skill set with computer classes through the library, volunteering in my area of interests and adding those experiences to my resume. Make a vision board and go for what you want, we can overcome challenges - many times you have to be brave and step outside your comfort zone. You got this!

It sounds to me like you’ve had a series of jobs but not a clear career direction. Is that a fair conclusion? In your jobs, you’ve amassed transferable skills that can be applied in multiple career paths. So getting clear on your career interests and career direction is critical. I help people do that. We should connect on LinkedIn. I regularly share helpful content there that could help you. Here’s my profile link: linkedIn.com/in/griselscarantino
