Job search requirements transitioningI find myself transitioning.

My new duties include attending and facilitating meetings; recording notes/minutes; working/tracking various information on spreadsheets such as budget information, personnel, etc.; acting as the Subject Matter Expert on all documentation for the project including organizing/storage; acting as administrator for in excess of 25 Sharepoint websites including meeting and document spaces; etc.. The career path that naturally follows is one for Project Management which I do not find in line with what I would hope to find myself doing in the future.

If you look at the many aspects of the jobs and projects you have accomplished, you could probably cull a lot of pertinent qualifications to match with numerous opportunities within a great span of industries. But, the first step is still to figure out what you want to do with yourself. | |
