Hello,

I NEED ADVICE ON HOW TO PIVOT CAREERS AND GET A JOB QUICKLY

I'm currently an Administrative Assistant, trying to transition careers to work with CRM systems, whether it's a CRM Administrator, or working with RevOps (in the future).

I'm transitioning careers because I was previously interested in data analysis and learned it would be an easier transition from my current admin job to CRM administrator, rather than get an entry level Data Analyst job (to work with SQL). I just have basic SQL knowledge from a previous bootcamp.

I have 2 Associate's Degrees in Business Administration and Economics, I have 1 Bachelor's in Psychology. (it's a long story why I didn't finish my Bachelor's for Economics lol).

My only relevant experience to CRM systems is my current admin job, where I do data entry, write reports after interviewing customers, upload reports into database system.
Right now, I'm trying to get the HubSpot Reporting and Revenue Operations certifications.
Then I'd try to get Salesforce certifications.

My biggest drive behind all this is to try and get a better paying job as soon as possible, because my mom was supposed to retire this year, and I need to help out with bills.

Please, please, give me any advice, on how to get a better paying job soon, or direct me to someone who can. Please DM me if you can give me advice, or even want to mentor me.

Do I still continue to self teach and get certifications? Do I go into grad school? I keep getting advice that I just need to have convincing projects on my portfolio after self teaching.

I just want to help out my family.
