crunchyleafzzz's journey

I am a 38-year-old service employee based in upstate New York, close to NYC, and I'm currently seeking advice on my job search. My background primarily lies in food service, where I've spent around 15 years working in grocery stores, specifically in the deli and bakery sections. In these roles, I held supervisory and management positions, which involved writing schedules, maximizing sales, balancing inventory shrinkage, and updating planograms. I also have experience as a line cook for a year. Additionally, I've worked as a security guard and later as a supervisor for about three years, and most recently, I've been in luxury hospitality. My current role involves room service, upkeep, and special accommodations, requiring me to coordinate with multiple departments daily while working outdoors in various weather conditions. I want to avoid kitchen work as I find the environment challenging, and I prefer jobs that offer a change of scenery rather than being stuck at a desk. I’m open to working overnights if I have a consistent schedule, but I struggle with driving larger vehicles due to anxiety. I’m also considering certifications or further education but need to ensure I can pay my bills, especially now that I’ve just had my first child. My goal is to find a stable position that allows me to grow my career without needing an elaborate lifestyle. I have a high school diploma and am eager for any insights or suggestions on potential job paths.
