Need help with career change!!
Permalink Closed

I'm in need of a career change, RIGHT NOW!!!!


If you guys remember my ordeal from late summer about my frustrations with my DM and me transferrring to another store and how I found a job with this "great company" in a last minute situtation before moving.


Well right now in my current job, I am having difficulties adjusting to how this "great company" company does things and the results of the store that I am managing have have gone downhill.  It doesn't help that my current DM is in every sense of a non-leader  and manipulizer(sp?) and this company is operationally ass backwards. I've tried everything to make the store's results turn around, my store has made signifigant strides in the last month, but's not happening quick enough for my DM.


Really i'm tired of the retail game and I want to get out of it.  I have over 5 years management experience and a college degree and numerous other skills, what career field can I enter into that I can use my experience and maintain my salary (I need to eat).I don't want to go into commission sales or anything that involves cold-calling.


If you guys have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it!!! I am so frustrated. TIA.

I'm currently looking through postings online at monster, hotjobs, careerbuilder, and some local sites.  So hopefully it will help me out.


BTW: Huey is my hero, if only I had that much wisdom at age 10.
