Two years ago I had a career change. After 23 years with the same company and my second "reorg," they were done with me, and I needed to move on. I pursued continuing education throughout my career having earned nine professional designations in my field and going back to school to earn my Master of Science in Management (M.S.M.) degree. I worked in an administrative role early in my career, and I have now come full circle returning to an administrative role that I absolutely love. I'm hoping to learn more about the administrative profession and best practices and to strengthen my skills. I'm also hoping to enhance my credibility as an administrative professional by earning the CAP designation.

Congratulations on taking this next step in your personal and professional development, Nelson. I really enjoy learning the stories behind each individual's motivation for taking the CAP exam. Best wishes with your studies and I hope to see you at an upcoming local IAAP event!

Thank you for sharing.  Best of luck!

Best of luck in your certification endeavors.

Nelson - Good luck with your certification and continuing education goals.

In mid-January I posted about My CAP Journey. I have since completed Marie Herman's study group on March 27, 2019, and I sat for the CAP exam on March 29, 2019. I feel the study group prepared me well for the exam. I am cautiously optimistic, and I am anxiously awaiting my exam results!

I am so excited to have shared this journey with you. You have certainly done everything you possibly can from an education standpoint to advance your career!
