Looking for an accounting mentor: Stella's career change at 54
A mentor in accounting could help Stella with a portfolio, interviews and first-job strategy.
Anywhere in the world794 views
I have worked as a taxi driver for 11 years, and I'm 54. After being laid off, I decided to move into accounting, and I have completed a self-study course with a project portfolio.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my interview answers, a realistic view of the job market in England, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming.
I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for six months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time.
All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck, Stella. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Heliopolis so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Southampton.
Wishing you peace, Stella. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending good thoughts, Stella. Hope you make a strong comeback. After 25 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Tiruchirappalli
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 12 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
