Thanks for your comments. I lived in NJ until about 5 years ago and in NJ I worked as an executive assistant. I moved to Fl and had to get a job anywhere I could and as quickly as possible since money was fading. I got offered the job I was at for 4 years and liked it except for the fact there was no room for advancement and there was no way it would ever happen. I was getting to the point where I wanted and knew I could do more. I even had clients on the phone tell me they wished I was the person who was handling their claim. I had always kept my resume on all of the websites and got a call from my present employer stating that I would be able to get my insurance adjusters license and work as an adjuster and it would happen within a year. Well, within the year, I was able to go to school to get my license and obtained my license. I know that my boss only allowed me to get my license because a now former coworker (we worked together at former company also) pushed him in getting me into the next class. I was excited when I got my actual certificate and then the license. My boss on the other hand was not. My now former coworker left the company and now I have no support system and cannot get them to see that I would be a great adjuster.
I now think maybe I was not meant to be an adjuster and would like to go back to working as an assistant but cannot even get an interview. I am very frustrated by all of this and know I can do better.
Now that I have my home computer back again, I am going to work on my resume and resubmit my resume on the online websites in hopes of getting noticed. I am also going to the library to find great cover letters which is something I think I am lacking in when I apply. I am also going to get my home business started which should get me the confidence back that I can do the work as an assistant so it can be shown through an interview.
Thanks for your help.
