Hi Rodney,
Thanks for reaching out and congrats on 10 years! I've sent your question over to our coaches who will be in touch soon. In the meantime, here are some resources that may be helpful:
- If you're looking for work or thinking about changing careers, we have a free Resume Review Service: http://www.cancerandcareers.org/resume_reviews/new
- Unfortunately our Micro-Grant Program for professional development just closed this round of applications, but keep an eye on the website or sign up for our newsletter to get alerted to when those will open again: http://www.cancerandcareers.org/en/micro-grants
I hope this is helpful, our coaches will be in touch soon!
Best,
Sarah, Manager of Programs, Cancer and Careers

Rodney:
Sarah offers some great general advice on careers. I suggest you take a look at the links she
provided.
Without knowing a little bit more about your situation, it
is difficult for me to be more helpful.
Here are some questions that will help me help you. Please feel free to post your answers here
and I’ll respond.
Are you currently working? If so, what are you doing?
What is your degree? Are you using it in your current job?
Are you interested in finding a new job, or in
getting promoted in your current company?
What would be your ideal job?
Do you have any health problems that affect your
ability to work?
The answers to these questions will help me better
understand your unique situation and then help you in your career journey.
All the best,
Bud
