Trying to find a position I can tolerate.

Hello all. I’m thinking about joining the corporate world again after taking some time off for my mental health. I’m looking for tips and or advice looking for my next position. The last company, I was there for 5 years before I had to leave. In hindsight I felt like I was pushed out. I was continuously asked to do tasks outside of my job description because I was always a team player, there was no communication etc. The final straw was when the company went to a hybrid schedule. I had to go to the office twice a week. Once I returned, the entire HR office were placed next to me in our open floor seating arrangement. I felt extremely uncomfortable and management did nothing. I have 10 years of experience as a data analyst and a BA degree. For the majority of the 10 years I communicated with…


Hello all. I’m thinking about joining the corporate world again after taking some time off for my mental health. I’m looking for tips and or advice looking for my next position. The last company, I was there for 5 years before I had to leave. In hindsight I felt like I was pushed out. I was continuously asked to do tasks outside of my job description because I was always a team player, there was no communication etc. The final straw was when the company went to a hybrid schedule. I had to go to the office twice a week. Once I returned, the entire HR office were placed next to me in our open floor seating arrangement.
I felt extremely uncomfortable and management did nothing.

I have 10 years of experience as a data analyst and a BA degree. For the majority of the 10 years I communicated with vendors and clients and assisted with document uploads to management systems. Basically a glorified data entry role. I’m back in the job market after 10 years and I’m nervous as hell because I don’t know what to look for. And I definitely don’t want to end up back in a toxic environment. I just want to do my work and not be mentally stressed afterwards. The more mundane the better.

I’ve updated my resume and Linkden profile. Im also using Indeed, Career Builder and applying to staffing agencies. My goal is to land a remote/hybrid position with my experience. Is that still possible if I currently don’t have a laptop? What specific roles/buzz words should I look for in my job search? What should I avoid? I’ll take as much help as I can get. Thanks!
