I am in desperate need of a career change but don’t know where to start.

I am a marketing professional with 20 years of experience in the financial industry but need a change. Can anyone provide suggestions on where to start? I read job descriptions and am not excited about any of them. Looking for a remote role. Would appreciate any help or stories of similar experiences. Thanks!

I absolutely understand Iam in the same boat. I want a career change desperately, so I know it's time to go for me, I've been looking for remote work as well. Only thing I can say is keep looking around I started taking some certification course I want to get into cyber security or something near that field.

Hi there , That definitely means it’s time to exit. I would definitely write your goals down to see if you need or want a complete career path change . LinkedIn is a good start . I hope It all works out for you! Blessings

I hear you! Just been laid off for the sixth time as an Administrative Assistant due to a 'staff reduction'. Reading job descriptions with pay that does not line up with overwhelming duties the companies require. Because I am 63 years old, I am feeling as if they are reluctant to hire me anyway. Want to start my own creatie business at home, but need towork a bit longer.

I recommend the book "What Color is your parachute". It provided me with some activities to identify what I was looking for in my career transition. Connecting with a coach, if your finances permit, could also be beneficial, or doing some pro bono/volunteer work with organizations that appeal to your interests could provide some different opportunities.
