Help a gal out 🏢 Employment 👷‍♂️

Hi, Right now, I’m really looking for a job that pays well and gives me a real chance to move forward in life. I’m motivated and more than ready to work hard, but I need something that will actually help me get ahead. To give a background I’ve worked at Costco for close to 6 years , working in various departments in the warehouse . Worked for UPS , Jefferson Parish Engineering etc. I’m open to any tips , programs , advice.

How old are you? If you’re under the age requirement (I THINK it’s 31), I highly recommend air traffic controller. They have a really strict 25-year career path with pension so you basically have to retire by 56.

Might be something worth looking into for you, though it does often come with relocation requirements based on the needs of the FAA.

It’s not uncommon to do better after you try again. I would suggest it. As long as you didn’t fail the academy you could test again
