    Feeling Miscellaneous Planning Thinking

    I recently faced a layoff from my position as a loan processor assistant at a mortgage company, where I had just been promoted two months prior. My background includes roles as an events coordinator, front desk staff at hotels, and legal and administrative assistant positions in various settings, including a corporate company and a dealership. I really enjoyed my last job because it involved a lot of learning, problem-solving, and communication across departments, all while requiring strong organizational skills. I thrive in environments where each day is different, and I prefer to work independently with minimal social interaction. Unfortunately, I’m feeling quite lost right now. At 26, I’m struggling to find career alternatives that align with my interests and experience. I’ve researched various programs at universities, but nothing has caught my attention. Additionally, I’ve noticed that many job postings require several years of experience, which is discouraging. I live in California, and it seems like there’s a decline in administrative roles too, which adds to my anxiety about the job market. I’m good at helping people but have no desire to work in healthcare or a hospital setting. I feel like I’m running out of options and really need some guidance on what to do next.

    Feeling Miscellaneous Thinking

    I was laid off recently from my job as a loan processor assistant at a mortgage company in California. It was part of a mass layoff that happened during a Zoom call, which felt particularly shocking. I had a strong feeling it was coming, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. The atmosphere was tense, and I could see the panic in the eyes of my coworkers who were kept; it was a surreal moment. This was my favorite job so far because it involved a lot of learning, problem-solving, and communication across departments, but now I'm left feeling lost. I've also worked as an events coordinator, front desk staff at hotels, a legal assistant for the court, and an admin assistant at a corporate company and a dealership. Despite my diverse experience, I'm struggling to find new opportunities since many job postings require several years of specific experience or a bachelor's degree. I'm only 26, and this layoff feels like a huge setback, especially since I was just promoted two months ago. On top of that, I'm dealing with a bipolar diagnosis, and I'm really worried about affording my medication without insurance coverage. The stress and uncertainty about my future are overwhelming, and I feel like I'm running out of options for my career. I'm reaching out to see if anyone has suggestions for alternative career paths based on my experience.
