[quote=Anonymous]I’m so very sorry, OP. You’re carrying a lot. PP had a good suggestion regarding universities, and don’t overlook community colleges. Non-profits might be another place to look. Personally, in interviews I wouldn’t say I have a sick family member, because they’ll think you’ll need a lot of time off and/or that you’ll be distracted by a chaotic personal life. You could say you want to protect your weekends to avoid burnout, since you’re so “all-in” when you are working, and that your current job has shifted to become working nights and half the weekend. Think of an example hobby you can tell them you want to spend time on, and that may shift their attention to your hobby. You could also talk about flexing different skills or just wanting a change. Sell it in your interview and it’ll be fine. It’s true! You do want a change![/quote]
