Career Changes Support Group
This community is dedicated to the difficult challenges of transitioning from one career or job to a new one. Especially as we grow older, it can be very difficult to acquire the skills and relationships and take the financial risk to make the switch.

I'm now wishing I'd never went back to school to change careers. I'm starting to feel really stupid when I'm applying for jobs and I don't even get a call for an interview. No one will give me a chance and it's getting really frustrating, not to mention a slap to my self-esteem. I have my resume on monster.com. The only people that call me are the one's that want to contact me for my past job experiences. I don't know why these people don't read my career goal (which clearly you can tell that I've changed careers).
I think office managers and HR departments forget that we all have to start at the bottom and work our way up. I bet someone gave them an opportunity. It's sad that they don't want to give an opportunity to people who decided to change careers. I feel very sad. :(
Thanks for letting me vent.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
By the way, I love your avatar pic. I'm a huge cat lover and I also am a huge stressball!! :)
I am currently looking for a job that pays more and don't have"experience" for anything eigther. You have to start somewhere don't you? Why do all of the job places want at least one year of experience? I think I have lost track of what I was saying. I wish you both luck.
