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.
Hi everyone. I'm 38 and I've been working at the current job for 10 years. My husband also works here. I'm ready to leave here for the following reasons:
1) Working in the same office with my husband has been a challenge and it has brought negative affects to our marriage.
2) I tried but cannot get along with my immediate boss. Although I respect him as a human, I do not agree with his managing style. Let's just say that because of him, it has brought both physical & mental stress to my life.
3) Workload vs Pay is so off. Of all the things I do around here, my pay is very low. I feel I'm getting ripped off. I want to concentrate on what I'm hired to do, and of course, I don't mind helping out if needed, but currently things get dumped on me constantly and I'm not getting paid for them.
So... I'm getting calls from job agencies after posting my resume online. I know that I shouldn't say these things (above) at the interview so what is the correct thing to say???
I would really appreciate your input on this as I have an interview next week. Thanks in advance and good luck to all of you!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
