Do the boringly useful research
- 1Search three titles from your top routes and save ten real descriptions. Notice the repeated requirements before taking any course.
- 2Read the listed certification and education requirements from the named source, then check your state or employer type. Rules vary.
- 3Talk to two people doing adjacent work. Ask about a normal Tuesday, not whether they ‘love’ their career.
Sample 30-day exploration plan
Week 1
Reality-check the shortlist
Search alumni engagement coordinator, neighborhood liaison, strategic partnerships coordinator, read 12 current descriptions, and list repeated requirements before taking any course.
Week 2
Get close to the work
Use Alumni Relations Coordinator as the anchor: find two public events, organizations, or practitioners and ask for a 15-minute informational conversation about a normal Tuesday.
Week 3
Run the smallest honest test
Open Google and search “alumni engagement coordinator [your city].” Open three recent job posts. In a note on your phone, write the job title and one thing each post asks for that you already know how to do. Then attend a public orientation, event, or information session connected to the work, or ask a practitioner for a 15-minute conversation about a normal busy day.
Week 4
Choose a next move, not a new identity
Keep two routes, pause the rest, and schedule one concrete next action for each. This is exploration before quitting—not financial, psychological, or professional career advice.
