a drastic job change? Being in one field and then entering a completely different one?
I have ben seriously looking for a new job since early this year and it''s been really frustrating. Everyone only seems to want an MT that has 2-3 years experience, which I don''t have in an official employment setting (I''ve worked on friends, family and coworkers though) I finished school for it late in 2005, the year my dad died so I was caught up in that low frame of mind and didn''t feel up to looking for a job yet. Then spent 8 months of time in 2006 focusing on the wedding. I FINALLY have been in touch with three spas and a hotel that more than likely will be interested in hiring MTs after the holiday season (since so many people get gift certs for spa treatments and such.)
Now, after so long, I feel nervous about switching gears. I have been in the admin job where I am now for 7 1/2 years. I love the people I work with, it''s super casual, great boss, we joke around and all that, but I can''t live on the pay. I really have to focus on bringing in a salary that I can build more savings for buying a place and retirement. In the past when geting a new job (from retail to office) I felt more relaxed about it since I wouldn''t have to deal with the whole face-to-face customer aspect anymore. For others who have done this, how did you get you inner butterflies to be quiet?
