I’m a 32-year-old with a degree in Public Relations and eight years of work experience that hasn’t really built my career. I graduated in 2017 and took a front desk job at a physician's office, thinking it would be temporary, but I ended up staying there for five years. I got comfortable and underpaid, and honestly, I was scared of rejection, which kept me from looking for other opportunities. In 2023, I moved to a second physician's office for a year and then landed an office manager role at a financial advisor firm with a $10k pay bump. Unfortunately, I was laid off a little over a year later and spent six months unemployed. Now, I’m back in a similar role at another advisory firm, but I find myself with a lot of downtime to reflect on my career path and how I feel behind. I realize I don’t have any specialized skills or a niche, just a degree that I never really utilized and a resume filled with administrative roles. I hear everyone talking about how brutal the job market is right now, and while I believe it, I can’t help but wonder if I’m just using that as an excuse to avoid taking action. If you were in my position, what would you do next?
