I am 32 years old and graduates with a BS in health sciences in 2010 and have not really applied my degree.Basically, i worked various jobs mostly giving direct support to individuals with developmental disabilities and have worked evening shifts as i am not a morning person.I have been work part-time with Delta making 15 an hour and i don't mind the job but i feel like there is something related to improving the health and wellness of others and issues of authenticity and understanding emotions like joe rogan (maybe podcasting) that would make me feel more centered.I enjoy walking meditation and am more of a feeler than structured person (ISFP). I thought about doing health coaching for clients and i only have a few grand saved in the bank and don't know if its worth the risk.One of the girl i know is a health coach and she recommended emory health coach certificate in atlanta which is about 3 grand.I would be content making 30-40k a year so long that the work is meaningful..I never plan to have an expensive car,expensive clothes or have any expensive luxury.Not saying this for anyone but for me its more about doing something meaningful.So i have been applying for various jobs at hospitals like entry level patient access rep with no experience in between the 2010 degree as well as food inspector jobs for the government.I feel like i am relying on luck sending out my resume.A 9-5 job i can adjust to although i am not a morning person.When i see the people at my work who are overweight i would be glad to talk to them about healthy lifestyle choices(holistic model) not necessarily just pumping iron at the gym.Part of what i would like to do is encourage people to move more,eat healthier,find a sport or activity that they enjoy,spend more times outdoors more and not confined to the gym,meditate and be aware of emotions as they arise,stay away from television and addiction to technology,help people with anorexia.These are some the the things that excite me.I would appreciate any advice.

Look up and read the networking guide. You will very rarely get good jobs by applying online.

You have a Health Science background. Right now, the Medical Device industry is booming with a high projected growth rate, and they specifically look for people with Health Science and Engineering backgrounds.

1. Get yourself into a Certificate program (online or in-person), in Medical Devices.
2. Dedicate yourself to doing very well in the classes. It usually takes about one year to finish the program.
3. While taking classes, volunteer for a few hours in a company to give you real-life experience in the field.
4. If you are unemployed right now, look into WIOA funding; this could pay for your certificate program.

If this is of interest to you and you do very well in your classes, you'll probably have multiple offers to choose from when you apply.

On sending out your CV, IMO the best thing to add is a comment that you are good at being given a task that you don't know how to do by someone body that doesn't know how to do it and go away and get it done professionally.

Most business owners don't know much about how to do a lot of what goes on in their company. They don't want to and can't know all of it. They want to give out any new tasks to someone who can quickly perform in new areas quickly. But most employees are not up to doing anything out of their training. That's why they will always be employees and never managers or executives.

32 years old, college degree, and you don't know how to use paragraphs?

Man I want to help, but I'm not sure there's much I can do to help.

Paragraph indentation is just a social game made up by somebody taught to us somebody.There are many different ways to write.We are all unique individuals and can write how we please.I understand that for money related purposes you have to play the game but when I am writing on a forum I don't pay as much attention to this.

It's not a matter of writing style, it's a courtesy to the people you're asking for advice.

If you expect people to take the time out to answer your long-winded question, why not take a few minutes out of your time to at least make it readable? Ain't nobody tryna read a paragraph that big.

Exactly. Paragraph indentation isn't a social game or construct or whatever you want to call it, it's writing properly in your native language so that people can understand what you're saying. You came here asking for advice to advance your career but you can't even be bothered to use proper writing methods? As a result of your stubbornness, anyone who might be inclined to assist you won't even read that wall of text.

I'm not sure how you plan on being a health coach or in some sort of patient encounter environment when you yourself seem to need a whole ton of help. All I know is that if I got your resume and it read like your wall of text, I'd toss it without reading it. So maybe start there and fix your resume to make it readable, that might help. Oh and wake up early every morning. No excuse being 32 and not being able to get up in the morning.

I hear you with regards to reading a wall of text.

I will try to make it less walled up.With regards

to being 32 and not getting up very early that is

mostly due to my biological chronotype aa their

Has been scientific evidence that people are

wired to be an early bird a lark or night owl.

I can get up at 8 for a 9 pm job and manage but

earlier than that I just don't feel right.We have

advanced in technology to the degree that

people should be able to work when they want

There are many freelancers and free spirit types

that do this.When you think about it this benefits

everyone.All I'm looking for is a 9-5 job or later

or later that gives me meaning.I think that is

something reasonable to ask for.
*edit

Post: #12

I understand that it can be uncomfortable to

read that wall of text as you call it and I will try

to make my writing easier to read.With regards

to getting up early I naturally get up around 10

bur have gotten up around 8am for a training

that I had.Alot of it is due to genetics as

scientific research has shown that although

you can change your circadian rythm to a

degree,there is still a strong genetic

predisposition as backed by evidence.I am

open to a 9-5 job or later and don't see

anything wrong with this.

Bro, fuck chronotype. You can't be that weak to let such things decide about your life... 3 months ago I was going to sleep at 3 am waking up at 11 am - summer uni life and some work from home, but then I found a nice paying gig that required me to work since 5.30 am.
So what did I do? I didn't sleep at all and then later went to sleep at 9 pm, woken up at 4.30 am working hard and I keep this routine until now, except for the weekend.
Seriously, biological chronotype is the last thing you should worry about at the moment, you want to be productive, you want to achieve something, then fight for it.

^ This.

It seems to me that you lack self awareness.

I would suggest that you get a coach/professional help for your resume and cover letter, if you haven't already. A hard-to-read resume and cover letter is the quickest way to eliminate yourself from being considered.

You need to understand that when you're entering a new field, you are expected to conform to the norms. And if the norm is to show up at 8AM and you make excuses (however valid they may be), most people would simply conclude that you lack motivation and move on to the next guy on the list. But after you have established yourself in the profession, you may be able to set your own times.

I'd suggest to set a simple goal for yourself: in 2 months, you'll be up at 7AM everyday. Then progessively work towards this goal every day.
