[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My search lasted about 7 months. I started with government jobs and positions that were similar to those I had filled before (research associate or project director). I got zero traction. This confirmed my fear that I needed to adjust my expectations downward to get back into the working world. It was very humbling. I was interviewed for just 2 positions over those months. One sounded great in the ad but the individual who interviewed me showed 30 minutes late which threw me off. I just felt the interview went terribly. I didn’t get that position.  The other position I got but it took a few more months of crickets to reach that point. I’m making very little money in an entry level position but I feel confident that I will advance. [/quote]

What entry level
position are you in ? Thanks.[/quote]

I work as a patient coordinator in a medical setting. I wasn’t kidding when I said it is entry level. However my employer is large so there are bound to be other admin opportunities that open. If I stay in this settting, my goal is to be a practice manager which I think I can accomplish. In addition, I will be continuing to seek a position in the government or with non-profits. [/quote]
