Note: Let me first say, please excuse my grammar. I do a lot of journal writing and I don’t worry about punctuation and such. I will work on my grammar as I go along but for now I didn’t want that to deter me from starting. Yes, there is Grammarly but I want to write in my voice/tone.
I previously wrote an article about my dislikes of the current recruiting process. My dislike for ATS (focusing on keywords) and the advice given to 50+ job searchers… definitely OLD advice. Writing the article was therapeutic, which is what I needed, in that I’ve decided to continue writing about my journey. Along with being therapeutic, writing helps me focus (get out of my head) and may also keep me accountable.
ChatGPT (and Gemini) has become another helpful tool. So I’ve decided to ask her some questions to possibly aid me in my Career Change Journey.

It’s time to think outside-of-the-box and get serious about this change. I love all the answers they give me, but at the same time I start to feel overwhelmed (and end up doing nothing). With that I have decided to write about them one at a time. If there are some that I know I will not be interested in, I will add two (or three) to the article. I will document why I am not interested.
Quickly looking through the answers/suggestions, these are the ones that stand out to me:
NOTE: Cyber or Crypto, not interested at all. As a Software Engineer I know enough about them to know that it’s not something I would like. They are good to know about but will not be part of my new career path.
