Hello all. My name is Meagan and I am from Michigan. I am an administrative assistant and I am looking to possibly keep the same type of position but I am in a toxic work environment and looking to change companies this year. I am still working full time and just looking for advice on how to keep being able to look for another position while working full time. ?
Welcome to the Career Changers Meagan! It's exciting to think about changing to a new company, and I hear you that looking for a job can feel like a full time gig. What are you most worried about?
Good Evening, I'm Jelette. Currently in Nashville and moved here for my job. The environment was toxic and I built the courage to leave after nearly 5 years with the company. I joined FGB in hopes of learning from other professional women on how they transitioned into their next role.
Welcome Jelette! And, congratulations on your courage to leave a toxic environment. Can't wait to hear more about what's next for you!
Good morning! My name is Cassidy, I live in Los Angeles, CA. I recently discovered a passion for marketing and social media and I have decided to move full force in that direction. Debating whether to get my MBA or whether to just focus on getting more experience. It's a hard decision to make!
Hey Cassidy - great to meet you! I actually just was quoted in an article about the value of MBAs that might be helpful -- let me know what you think! https://www.inhersight.com/blog/insight-commentary/should-i-get-an-mba

Hi Ruth, and welcome to Career Changers! You are in good company...there are LOTS of teachers feeling the same way.
Hi, Jennifer from Virginia here. I am a child advocacy attorney-for almost 20 years now . This emotionally- charged and high stress profession has left me wanting and needing a change in career (and even location).
Welcome Jennifer! Sounds like you have a big heart for justice and championing those without voices -- which are skills that transfer into a lot of other domains. Excited to get to know you on this journey!
Hi all - I'm Alisa from Boulder, CO area. I've been in technology marketing for 20+ years and burned out. Working on making a pivot to becoming a Salesforce Admin/Consultant.

It really is a small world!
Hello! I'm Katrine from California, USA. Currently working as an admin assistant and back in school for a bachelor's in Computer Science. Hoping to transition into a software engineering or product management role in the near future. Nice meeting everyone.
Welcome Katrine! Good on you for being willing to go back to school! That's awesome.
Good morning! My name is Natalie! Totally new here and I'm so excited!
