I feel like I’m hitting my head against a brick wall right now and could use some words of support (trying to update my resume because this place has sucked me dry mentally and emotionally)

When I got hired, it wasn’t based off of my resume it was just an informal in person interview and I’ve been working at this place for just over 5 years and I’m looking to get out. This place is a nonprofit aimed to help women, and I’ve had enough of it. Older women thinking they can push me around just for the sake of it. I’m the youngest woman here.

I read somewhere here that you don’t get to pick your next job, your experience does. My experience is office administration and records and information management, I have been doing admin work since I graduated with my certificate in office admin, and before that I was a volunteer youth advocate for young people in foster care. (I was in foster care, which is how I got that position).

In updating my resume, I am blanking out. I didn’t keep my resume updated since working here… big no-no, I know. I could really use some kind words in knowing I’m not alone, or just someone to talk to because I hate feeling this way. Thank you in advance, E.
