“Dear PoPville,

In the wake up the upcoming change of administration- it appears that I, like many Washingtonians, will be searching for new jobs. In the past few weeks, I have been trying to make sense of what the best move would be for me, professionally- as I continue to see postings for forums, lectures and articles about the professional implications of the recent election. I know that I am not the only one at this crossroads- since unfortunately this city’s professional climate is fueled by the changes in administration- but it is hard not to feel overwhelmed with the road moving forward. In fact, I am actually beginning to consider how the skillsets I have gained over the past several years might be translated into a potentially different career path moving forward. I’d love any input on what resources- like a career counselor- might be available as I continue to navigate these next few months and my career.“
