Hello all! I've been an Admin now for 28+ years at various levels in a few companies. I also love mentoring others wanting to pursue a career in our field and continue to do so today. Current Time: 2 years ago I started feeling stagnate in my career. I still loved my company, my job, and the people I work with. I just lacked being stimulated by not learning new skills. So I kept searching by sharing my desire with peers/mentors. This is when my hunt to take charge of my future began. I soon came upon Office Dynamics International and absolutely love Joan Burge! My leader at that time even bought me a bundle of Joan's books as my leader fully supported my eagerness to learn and further myself in my career. Next, I happened upon Marie Herman and her webinar about the different certifications available for Admins as well as study groups she offers. That was what I was looking for...finally I found it! And here I am today with time to focus on me as I'm currently furloughed. So I signed up in Marie's Study Group and I'm going to make the best use of my time by investing in myself and earn my CAP! I 100% believe in staying current and proficient in skills of today and tomorrow. So CAP here I come! Yes, I want and will get those credentials to add to my name!!

I'm glad we will be studying together. Let's do this!!!!!

Good luck!   Happy to see you chose to take the CAP! 

Congratulations on taking this important step in your career!  Best of luck!

Thanks for sharing. This post makes me feel more excited too. Best of luck!

That is a fabulous use of furlough time. Preparing for and passing the CAP will definitely take you far. I'm so glad I get to share the journey with you!

Best of luck in your certification endeavors.

Congratulations on taking this next step in your personal and professional development! IAAP offers so many different training options for you. Best wishes with your studies.

Thank you for the push in the right direction....Janet
