Escaping a Toxic Job... It Can Be Done!

Escape, and reinvent yourself at the same time! In part two of our interview with Beth Ross, Executive Career Coach, Beth gives us some specific steps for moving from the job from hell to a career in the non-profit world.

Beth and I discussed in part one of our Career Transitions podcast, that positioning yourself for a career transition is essential. It's a job in itself. I asked her to give us some advice for a good friend of mine who is in a dead-end job with a new boss that's right from central casting hell. From what I can tell, my friend is the only functioning part of a totally dysfunctional organization.  Fortunately, she does have excellent medical benefits. Given the high level of stress and long hours she feels obligated to work, she needs them.

Beth Ross is a frequent speaker on job Search and career transition topics and conducts career Workshops for organizations. In addition to being an Executive Career Coach, Beth Ross is also an executive career search professional with over twenty years experience, including time with prominent national retained executive search firms. Since 1989, she has been a sole proprietor.
