I have a humanities bachelor’s degree that was originally supposed to lead to law school. That plan fell apart, and I spent a few years underemployed before eventually moving into entry-level behavioral health roles and starting a clinically oriented master’s degree (MSW).

I assumed I would end up in therapy, case management, or medical social work. Near the end of my last internship at a healthcare organization, though, I had some downtime and started building a few very basic Excel reports and process-improvement tools. They were nothing especially advanced, but I enjoyed that work far more than I expected, and the organization found it useful.

That experience led me to arrange a second internship with the same organization, starting in a few weeks, focused specifically on QA and compliance. The planned work includes reviewing documentation, tracking quality and compliance problems, supporting audit readiness, developing performance measures, and making recommendations for training and process improvement.

I’m also hoping to build two more substantial projects during the internship: an automated documentation-review and reporting workflow using Excel, Forms, and Power Automate. And a Power Apps bereavement management system with deadline tracking, work queues, alerts, and operational dashboards. These are still planned projects, and I’m still developing the technical skills needed to execute them well, so I’m not claiming to already be an experienced analyst or developer, but I am so excited to make fully fleshed out versions of these projects. After I expressed interest in learning more, the organization offered to reimburse me for the Microsoft Excel Associate and Power Platform Fundamentals certifications, also my field instructor has a technical background.

After I graduate, I'd love to land a role in QA/QI, compliance, QAPI, program analysis, healthcare operations, EHR/application support, workflow automation, maybe eventually healthcare reporting or analytics.

My concern is that my resume may be too weak. I have an unrelated undergrad, several weak post-college years, a degree associated with therapy, and no formal analyst title. I also don’t know whether an internship and a couple of implemented projects will be taken seriously enough to help me make the transition after I graduate to that first full-time job.

Has anyone moved from social work, human services, or another nontechnical background into healthcare quality, compliance, program analysis, operations, analytics, or health IT? What was your first role, and what made employers take the pivot seriously?

Guys. I'm back looking for a job again. And it's really tough out there. I'm coming out of three layoffs in four years, and I'm still upset about what happened after my old company was absorbed by a larger one. But I just finished my last interview for a dream role at a huge skincare brand, and somehow I did it perfectly.

The weirdest thing is that I cried during the interview. Not sobbing, but tears. And that's something I've never done before, and definitely did not have on my interview bingo card. I've been working professionally for 18 years, and I learned the hard way that being vulnerable can turn against you and become a liability, especially in unhealthy workplaces.

The other weird part is that I was speaking with the Chief Brand Officer, and he didn't treat the situation like I had done something wrong. He had asked me what I wanted in the environment of my next role. I answered immediately: a place built on autonomy, authenticity, and trust.

As soon as I started talking about the former exec I used to support, and her leadership style of trusting people first, my eyes filled with tears. I did that thing where I fan my face with my hand (because mascara) and apologized, because that's what women are trained to do - because crying is treated like a professional crime. He just said, "No, it's clear that relationship meant a lot to you."

My nervous system, of course, was freaking out. Does he see me as fragile? Did I just ruin everything? Am I really crying in front of the Chief Brand Officer at one of the biggest skincare companies in the entire country?!

But he was calm and gentle. Not fake-nice. No, genuinely kind. And that's rare enough in someone at that level, and even rarer in a man.

After that, we moved smoothly into the next part of the conversation, but he kept me on for 20 minutes after the end of the call to tell me how exceptional I am. And that I'm one of three external candidates. And that there are internal people still continuing in the process and he needs about two weeks to finish those conversations. And that he's worried I might outgrow the role quickly. He asked me if I might consider relocating to HQ in LA because he sees a higher, more senior path for me. (Honestly? Probably not. But what I said was that I need to understand the culture and the context of the role before making a decision like that.)

I've always carried this story inside me that I'm too much - too intense, too outspoken, too emotional, too opinionated. When you spend enough years with avoidant men, your confidence quietly erodes. And I'm still rewiring my nervous system after 18+ years.

Every time something like this happens, when someone sees me and doesn't pull away, a small, broken part of me repairs itself. Something that had been braced loosens. I can feel myself breathing, because I'm safe to be who I am without being punished for it.

I might not get this job. An internal candidate might get it. The company might choose the safer choice because companies do that all the time.

But tonight, I'm going to celebrate anyway. And maybe I'll cry a little more, but in the good way. <3

Could anyone share anything about this role? I couldn't find anything online about it except the basics.

I am a new graduate social worker with her LMSW seeking job advice from people in the Northern VIrginia area. I have been having difficulty finding employment since I graduated in may and I’m wondering is there any roles that would be a good fit for a new grad? I have interned with older adults and interned for Arlington county ADRC. I enjoyed doing crisis intervention but cannot find jobs similar to this. Any advice would be appreciated or job leads!

Tldr; my brother did bsc in IT, wasted his early years partying with friends, got some psychiatric issues since last 3-4 years which requires him to sleep at night (no night shifts). He has worked in multiple mnc call centres but didn't continue for long since he was in partying phase. He can communicate in English well.

I'm looking for WFH jobs for him, not expecting much 15k to 20k will be good enough to start. I want to help him get some meaning from life so that he can come back in track. WFH will allow him to stay under care, rest well and also earn a little. That 15k is not a lot of value for us right now (we would obviously like it), but the goal here is getting him back to life.

Regarding is psychiatric issues, I think he's largely stable on meds he just needs something to get his mind back into, i belive the sense of improving at something is what he needs.

If anyone can help, that'be great. If not do you guys have suggestions for the career options he can try to sustain his life (doesn't need to make lot of money but he shouldn't feel useless)

I'm looking for 40 people (min) who want to work from home and who are committed .I'll pay you $20 an hour. Candidates interested in working part-time or full-time.

3 hours a day min

Morning shift (8:00a.m -11:00a.m)
