What are the pros and cons of a career as a radiology technician for a 39yr. old introvert career changer?

We Answered:

Sounds like to me that you are what you claim "fairly intelligent, very well spoken," and have excellent communication. I am a fellow introvert myself I'm getting my bachelor's degree and working hard towards medical school. I am leaning towards a career as a radiologist. Perhaps that is more of your forte than radiology technician. With radiology technician, it is not as intellectually challenging and fulfilling as radiology. Why don't you take the courses needed in post-baccaluarate studies to fulfill medical school requirements and study for your MCAT then apply to medical school. If you cannot get accepted to a medical school in the U.S., I recommend Saint Matthew University School of Medicine in the Cayman Island. But with your intelligence, you could get accepted into med school in NY. Good luck!

P.S. I am very shy myself, and don't like socializing with people I just met.

Current Ambulance service staff (NHS). How does my career progress within the service?

We Answered:

According to the NHS careers website (http://www.nhscareers.nhs.uk/details/Def…
"Traditionally, staff joining the ambulance service could work their way up with experience and additional training from care assistant, through ambulance technician to paramedic. However, this route is no longer open to new entrants.

Anyone wishing to work as a paramedic will now need to either secure a student paramedic position with an ambulance service trust, or attend an approved full-time course in paramedic science at a university.

Entry requirements for student paramedic positions will vary, depending upon the employing NHS ambulance service trust. Visit the NHS Jobs website (http://www.jobs.nhs.uk/) to search for student paramedic vacancies"

At a Career loss, need help!?

We Answered:

If you're not getting a lot of response from Monster, etc., it's because your resume is written wrong. First, you need to be very specific in what you want. It looks like you lack focus, so you have to say exactly in the objective what you want to do, say "Entry Level Marketing," or "Inside Sales. Then you need to restate that a few times throughout the body of the resume. Why do you do it that way? Because companies can browse through thousands of resumes on Monster, Career Builder, and others. They use search engine like software, so you must use search engine optimization (google SEO) in order for them to find your resume

Sales / Marketing staff in service company - what should i learn?

We Answered:

The airlines don't require you to study any special fields in college. They will train you to do whatever job you are hired for. It helps if you speak a foreign language, so try to learn 10 sentences in 2 other languages before you apply.
Consider working for a major hotel chain. YOu can work in marketing and sales but your goal would be to become a manager in 2 years.
