Needing a career change- Rutland county area.
Currently a homeowner in Rutland city and have been employed with the Federal Government for the past 5 years. My work has become untenable due to having to do the work of 2 people due RIFS, DOGE and subsequent hiring freezes and slow onboarding of new qualified hires. I’m facing likely job loss next month and I’m putting some feelers out there for potential opportunities.
I have a graduate degree and 13 years of professional experience in a human services related field but no clinical license or certification to practice in social work, teaching or other clinical roles. I fear employers looking for different qualifications will pass me over due to salary expectations or being “overqualified” in some other capacity. I also have a school aged child so benefits are a non-negotiable. If anyone knows of some reputable employers that I can look into it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
