After 15 years of working in a family business, I finally built up the nerve to quit tonight. After an extremely busy night of being left to shoulder 3 positions as a “manager” while getting paid a disproportionate wage, I finally relinquished my store keys, asked to be removed from the schedule, and left.
I'm looking to immediately begin my job hunt, but there's just one problem: I don't even know where to begin, I have no personal experience with the job market after having been brought to work as a teenager and never walking away to find a career.
Due to having been there so long, it's the only place I'd be able to list on my resume/applications as experience. That directly goes against me attempting to branch out of cooking/food establishments. Is there any way to fashion a resume that highlights the non-cooking aspects my work experience? (Things such as managing, troubleshooting for various POS systems, business accounting, and all that comes with running a local business.)
To all the antiwork peeps, thank you for helping me recognize my self worth. I've been taken advantage of long enough, and I think it's time I do better for me before doing the most for another.
