  1. 1

    I recently lost my job as a sales manager at a startup when the owner decided to eliminate the sales department. My career has been quite varied, with roles including Assistant Manager at Pearson Vue Testing, Marketing at a home staging company, and even server work at a restaurant. I also served as Operations Manager at a friend's startup, which was a significant challenge for me. I had to adapt quickly to a completely new industry, learning new tools and terminology while managing a team of 21 employees. My responsibilities included HR, payroll, onboarding training, purchasing, and data analysis, often working long hours until midnight. Although I was paid well, the experience taught me a lot and made me feel accomplished. Now, I’m looking to find a role that aligns with my experience in operations management, but I’m unsure how to approach this. It feels daunting to think that Fortune 500 companies might overlook my diverse background. Any advice on what positions I should target would be greatly appreciated.
